Today I tried to scrub a floor

[JohnnySavage]

So this morning I was exploring the basement in the Savage Manse and found a jug of general purpose cleaner. I said to myself, "Johnny, you should take this jug of stuff and scrub a bathroom floor."

It sounded simple enough.

I explored the house some more, but couldn't find a mop. So I went to the grocery store and bought a sponge-type mop. I also got some beef jerky and grapefruit in a jar.

When I got home I found a bucket in the pool house that appeared to be just the right size for the new mop.

I poured some of the goop from the jug in the bucket, and filled it with hot water from the bath tub. That was a bit of a mistake because I ended up with a bucket of bubbles and very little water. But, it was enough water to get the sponge wet.

Then I started scrubbing. Another big mistake. The bubbles just ended up from the bucket to the floor. I dipped and scrubbed, and scrubbed and dipped. When I looked back, I had a bathroom full of bubbles. Now I'm a fairly smart guy, but for the life of me, I couldn't figure out how to get the bubbles off the floor. I mean, the bucket just had more bubbles in it, so I couldn't use that.

I decided to fill the bath tub and use that for clean water. That worked fine for the first few dips, but then the bath tub got full of bubbles. I decided to watch the Giants/Eagles game for a while and figure this out.

Magically, when I went back the bubbles were gone, but then the floor was slickery. So I drained the tub and started over with, what I thought, was the rinse cycle. As I smeared the slickeriness around, I got more and more dejected. I mean, how hard can it be to scrub a floor? So I scrubbed and dipped, and dipped and scrubbed. Finally, I was working it so hard that I broke the handle on my new mop!

After that I decided it'd be best to just leave it until tomorrow. I shut the door and my wet socks and I are laying on the bed watching the rest of the game. I really hate wet socks.

I may have to google, "Scrubbing a floor."

if you pay bints to relieve you of spunk, can't you pay one to clean your floors?

I do have someone to scrub the floors, and she never seemed all that smart to me. I guess I was wrong.

you sound as bad as my son!
bubbles and slickery floors = not good

It doesn't even smell like a pine forest in there after all that

chuck that stuff
get some special floor cleaner. and READ the instructions.
usually you put the water in the bucket first, then add the cleaning agent.


sorry you broke your mop

*hand across mouth*

This is the best post I've seen is a long time. That was funny. I hope you get this dilemma figured out so you can use the bathroom

I should have googled that.

Good game, though...

It was a spare bathroom and the professional will be here in the morning to set things right.

Would that mop still be under warranty?

Seriously, a mop handle should be as sturdy as a shovel handle.

As a 'Skins fan, I was hoping for a 0-0 tie.

Don't feel bad.

I had to watch several seasons of "How Clean Is Your House" before I got decently caught up on cleaning tech.

Kim and Aggie say to just use warm water with a bit of sink soap, a few drops.

Works.

I also gave up cleaning the house with most of anything 'cept baking soda, vinegar and water.

It clearly wasn't designed for someone of my masculinity

nah, they're useless. the cheaper sponge-headed mops have thin handles that are fine for simply mopping over stuff, but will bend and snap if you accidentally step on them or scrub hard. It pays to buy the dearer ones - they last loads longer.

I'm a guy, so I'm naturally on your side, but it's stories like this that probably cause women to wonder how men have the brains to fuck.

Not really. I rejected all my mom's attempts to girlify me.

Unfortunately there was some good stuff in there, like not being a total slob.

[John Doe]

Don't use hot water.

And don't use an assload of soap.

[berry juice]

yet another one of the Savage adventures..... You are full of surprises, Johnny

I can't believe you didn't tie up sponges on your feet and fight the bubbles with some killer dance moves

You used too much soap.

Also, make sure you sweep before you mop.

"Manse"...If Savage was a Jack Vance fan that would be too hip.
