26 Things This Professional Cleaner Refuses To Have In Their Home

Yeah listen buddy, i'm short as f**k and cant even reach the cabinets now, let alone when the are above the damn clouds.

Nope, just nope. The little galley kitchen in my mom's apartment that had to be remodeled a few weeks ago got custom-made cabinets in the same size as the originals (no longer available in that size, I mean, they were from 1966!) and still a good foot from the ceiling. Why? Well, to the ceiling cabinets make a small kitchen like that feel closed in, plus, if I'm lucky enough to retire to this apartment, I don't want to have to climb a ladder to reach my cabinets. Both my future spouse and I are not that tall!

I built a valance to close in my cabinets to eliminate the grease trap.

It won't give you more storage. Unless you buy custom made cabinets, the top is filled with a pannel.

If you have ordinary wall cabinets you can build/have build small cabinets on top for the things you hardly ever use.

i used to have this. for around 8 years straight. changed our shower heads around 6 months ago to without spirals and my showers have never felt cleaner!

I have one of these and I don’t find i I have an issue with it…and I’m a pretty lazy housekeeper. No dust or dirt. Just the usual from normal use and I just give it a quick once over when I use it and it’s fine. My hose is not metal like in the picture though. It’s a braided nylon (I think).

I have the one that is encased by stainless steel and has the power setting. A dream for rinsing of dishes and veggies and filling large pots. You don't need a pasta arm with them.

This one is kind of a duh one! Dust and dirt don't collect on the spiral kitchen tap is you wipe it down when you do kitchen clean up.

I have one of these and I hate it.

I find a simple shower curtain works best. They dry quickly, and you can take them down and wash them in the washing machine.

Unless you're in a cooler environment, these glass will then help keep the air warm

How do you keep the water from splashing all over the floor?

Yes! We got subway tile in our previous home, and never again. The grout was so hard to clean and keep clean. Large tiles only (unless you can afford a cleaner but I think it's mean to make a cleaner clean subway tile, having done it myself many many times!)

No glass as in no shower door? I’ve actually heard people complain about that feature in their showers. That makes for some cold showers not being able to hold the heat in

if not a mirror, then wouldn't the wall catch it and make the wall dirty?

So this means you don't clean the "wall" behind the tap?

I had a mirror behind the tap as I was growing up. It looked like the glass was breaking off curved chips on the bottom. My dad said that the water from the tap splash was making the 'silver' come off. This was a house built around 1950.

hard water stains can be removed with acids and/or shaving cream.

Had one, never again. Currently have a large black ceramic one, much, much better.

We have a black granite sink and even though we have water this has never been a problem. We use it a lot though and soap it probably every day

Also add copper sinks. Loved the look in the beginning but what a pain in the butt!

That's why black quartz sinks exist. They don't stain.

Nope, i love mine. The sink is built in, so there are no little sink corners for c**p to breed in. Who gives a fudge if it's not shiny all the time?

OTOH, they are much more anti-microbial than alternative countertop treatments.

Another don't: granite counters with specks of color the same shade as dirt/coffee/foods you regularly eat! Had this at my last apartment and the counters always looked dirty! It dove me nuts
