cleaning service




After 5 ½ years of wishing for a housekeeper to do my "dirty work", I finally have acquired a cleaner. His name is Martin and he is ourSwiffer-in-Residence.” With a full-front-terrycloth-bib he buffs the floors as he slithers with happy squeals through the house. He is so thorough in his work that he sometimes even eats the dust! Cleaning out his mouth is like emptying the (wet)filter of a vacuum cleaner. And hey – he is free! (Well, kind of- if you can ignore the birthing-cost and the fact that he is now fully competing with his brothers in the ever-endangered food chain… I mean food line.)
