“See if there is anything that doesn’t belong in your car…” Once I’ve loaded both arms with children’s shoes, clothing, school projects, sippy cups, Goldfish bags, and occasionally even the child, what gets left behind gets left behind, dig?

I could pick nits with the rest of your delightful tips, but I’ve got work to do.

Also, if you have a squeege in the shower, and if you have to wait a moment for the water to heat up, you can use that time and cold water to splash the shower with water and run a squeege over it. This keeps the mildew from growing much, and makes the ‘deep cleaning’ of the shower easier.

(Until this post inspired me, I hadn’t made this publicly available, so if you don’t see something or think you see something you shouldn’t, let me know and I’ll try to fix it)

The page above is merely the “public face” for the page, there is a private URL that I use to actually maintain the data.

My motivation for making this site is similar to the motivation this post describes, with one addition: I’m a slob and can blissfully live in squalor. My wife on the other hand will live in squalor until she can’t take it any more and then explode into anger/disappointment that the house is worse than a pig sty.

So to hopefully avoid explosions, I made the web page above to make me aware of what parts of the house are due for a once-over cleaning.

After 2 months of using this, my wife’s happier and we’re not afraid to invite friends over for dinner/parties.

I’ve toyed with the idea of expanding this and making it into a commercial site, but I don’t know if there’s enough mass-appeal to make it worthwhile.

ps- This is my personal site. It’s not ready to take millions (maybe not even dozens) of connections a minute. If it’s down or this URL is no longer valid, I’ll try to put a helpful message up as to why.
