Like Being Married To Mr. Clean. Almost.

Let’s get this straight. Women are not genetically engineered to enjoy cleaning. There is nothing in estrogen that compels us to scrub a toilet or scour pots and pans. Yes, I like my house to be clean but no, I don’t get any satisfaction or sense of accomplishment knowing that I’m the one who made it clean.

Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, let’s be realistic. I clean up around here more than anyone else. Part of the reason for that is simply because I’m here, in the house, more often than anyone else. (I really need a job outside the house.) Even when someone else is doing the cleaning, I’m usually consulted on the tough jobs. You know, like stains. Or is it safe to submerge the electric skillet in the water? Why do these people think I would know that stuff?

Perhaps it’s because I know where to find the answers on how to clean anything. Whether you need to clean a kitchen sink drain or a baby’s finger nails, you’ll find the answers quickly. At How To Clean Stuff, you’ll find cleaning tips for everything from typical household items like Crown Moulding to your favorite tech gadgets and games like the Wii Fit Balance Board.

Needless to say, my favorite part of the site is the Strategies category. With articles on How to Polish a Turd, How to Wash a Rabid Monkey and (my favorite) Getting Your Spouse to Clean Up After HIMself, I’ve bookmarked the whole category page. Laughing at the mess my family of men makes sure beats running a steam cleaner through the house every day.

A terrific site like this deserves a little help so if you have any cleaning tips, be sure to offer them up for others. Not only will you get a great feeling knowing you’ve contributed but for every tip they publish, the site owners will donate $0.25 to the Clean Water Fund. Not bad, huh?
