rosie_: the worst thing is that it just gets dirty again
* Chan lives with his folks...they do the cleaning
jrt: I know one way but means you can never live in your house,lol
phoenyxx: making it easier- what's worked for me is working out a way to keep some things out that I need to get to rather than trying to always put things away.
Todd: lol jrt
phoenyxx: sounds weird but it's easier for me to do that than to constantly make a mess to clean up always looking for things.
Lily: i do that too
Mooooooo: thats my system too
jrt: yeah thried that pheonyxx, but just ended up with toys everywhere
*** hghlndr has joined #disabled
Mooooooo: everyone else calls it 'mess'
jrt: tried
HelloKit: I try to do that too, but no one believes me that it's what works for me: they just say I'm being lazy.
Lily: like putting cooking utensils in a crock
rosie_: but when it comes to something like dusting, its easier if you have as little as possible lyiing around
*** beetlebug has joined #Disabled
phoenyxx: My apartment was always cluttered because I never had a place to put things. Lots of tapes lying around for example.

Mooooooo: simon, you attach a vaccum cleaner to a dog and toss buscuits in the hard to clean places
phoenyxx: Todd- wheelchair I mean
rosie_: you need one of those long handled things that you rub on the tv to make it charged and then its supposed to just attract the dust
HelloKit: lol
rosie_: and it bends around corners
phoenyxx: I like that Daniel! :-)
beetlebug: there you go!
phoenyxx: rosie- I've seen those. neat!
HelloKit: Does anyone already have any modified techniques which you use in cleaning?
Mooooooo: but there is a serious problem with that

jrt: I have a little like box thing to stand on, so I can reach places
Todd: If you have the resources, pay to have it done
jrt: yeah would love too
*** bob has joined #Disabled

beetlebug: hey,bob
Lily: my husband gave me a cleaning lady as a birthday gift
Todd: But i always take the easy way out

Lily: hi bob
jrt: all I would really like is a well trained family,lol
rosie_: lol
Lily: this one just comes every other week, for 4 hrs

HelloKit: how to dust higher places when you can't lift your arms at all
*** guest has left irc (guest)
Diablo1: that's a good one hello
beetlebug: how about a modified wheel chair to work with cleaning aids
*** bob has joined #Disabled
rosie_: if you can hold something then you can use that long handled thing that was talking about earlier
mrsd81: Maybe a maid like Alice on the Brady Bunch
rosie_: you don;t have to lift your arms at all
phoenyxx: Brady Bunch was an affront to our culture :-)
Diablo1: how about a wheel chair that has a pop-down broom on it so you can sweep while getting around

*** ChanServ has left irc (lost in the netsplit)
mrsd81: How do you clean the dog Bob?
HelloKit: another one: spray cans/bottles... I don't have enough strength to spray most of them
Lily: or shake them
Diablo1: or how about for those of us with arthritis and stuff like that
bob: havent got that one yet
jrt: what about the pump up type Carly??
Diablo1: easy to hold tools
Lily: no screw top bottles
jrt: they use air pressure that is pumped into them to spray
beetlebug: I wonder if those dust ionizers really work?
HelloKit: I can do the ones with the narrow pump that sticks up high enough, like Windex. But air fresheners, Pledge, etc... forget it.
Lily: they work, jrt
jrt: I think they do bettle
mrsd81: Thjose manga-duster work okay
*** NaxMan has joined #disabled
beetlebug: but? not really sure
jrt: and now dont laugh, but a wrench that is used to remove oil filters works really well on some screw top lids
phoenyxx: Carly- they've got those empty spray bottles you can put anything in....perhaps putting liquid cleaners in one of those might help.
*** kcaj has left irc (Leaving)
Todd: they do bug
phoenyxx: jrt: actually a good idea on that! every now and then I can't get new jelly or peanut butter jars open.
HelloKit: Good idea, but that won't work for stuff that comes in aerosol cans.
beetlebug: how well ?
phoenyxx: Carly: no, I mean some furniture polishes and cleaners come in normal containers, you just pour them into the sprayers.
*** Laura2 has joined #Disabled
rose: Vim is a real cleaner for hetting black marks off of walls and so on from chars
Chan: hey laura
phoenyxx: rose: get all black furniture to avoid that :-)
phoenyxx: hello Laura
Lily: hi laura
mrsd81: Hi Laura
jrt: ummm, maybe you could find a place that sells air freshners and stuff in likt bulk or something like that??
Todd: I've heard from my mother that they work bbug. me clean, never
rose: :o) i like that even better
rosie_: there must be some alternatice products that do the same jobs that don;t come in aerosols
Diablo1: my mom used to be a clean freak but she got out of that stage
beetlebug: I have a coal furnace and was wondering about the dust/
*** nadja has joined #disabled

Laura2: hi everyone....don't have much time....tutoring soon...just checking in
Laura2: hi nadja
nadja: hi
HelloKit: There are some air fresheners that come in a little decorative thing you push down against the table instead of holding it up and spraying... I just worry about my hand covering the nozzle when I spray it.
rosie_: yeh we have those carly
mrsd81: We have alot of dust here in the desert, nothing works perfectly.
Laura2: that would work for me
*** ChanServ has joined #disabled
HelloKit: Does anyone have any suggestions for these or any other house cleaning tasks?
Diablo1: hey we used to have these things that you could stick anywhere and they would hold arosol cans
beetlebug: mrsd81 where are you from?

*** Chan has left irc (Leaving)
Laura2: where do you get them?
Diablo1: not sure
Todd: Since I never clean, Everyone Have A Great Evening!!!
mrsd81: The new shoewer cleaners work, you just spray after each shower, and you don't get the build up
jrt: another good cleaning produce taht helps when you clean the bathroom is shower power, rosie would have heard of it?
jrt: you just spray or wipe it on and leave for a few mins and it cleans the shower, bath what ever
Diablo1: just know we had them
Lily: bye, todd
Diablo1: later todd
rosie_: yeh i think we have some of that but i never used it
Laura2: it works well
HelloKit: Oh, btw, the w/c-attached broom gave me an idea for vacuuming...
Diablo1: and for outside cleaning
Diablo1: that new windex stuff you attach onto you garden hose really works good to
jrt: hey I know what about stick in clips, plastic ones, you can get then in all different sizes, maybe even to fir a spray can
*** Todd has left irc (Read error to Todd ow36.tir.com]: Connection reset by peer)
jrt: in=on
Diablo1: (especially if you hook it up to a power washeer hose like mine but also works great with normal hoses
Laura2: what r they, Debbie?
HelloKit: What if you use a canister vac instead of an upright, and somehow attach the hose or attachment to your chair?
phoenyxx: now that's an idea, just remember to keep the hose from getting tangled :-)
HelloKit: That's how we play hockey at camp... hehe
Laura2: that would be great!
Lily: now, carly, what about those of us who tremble on one side and can't do any of this?
jrt: um they have like double sided tape on the back, and they are like 2 half circles

mrsd81: Maybe a lasso.
phoenyxx: you need something to persuade them to make the stores accessable.

Mooooooo: simon, you want to get the object closer, not put it through the ceiling
