Nook and Cranny

It’s that time when the Holidays are going to make everyone busy with rushing with tasks to finish before the end of the year. As for stay-at-home moms like me, it’s the time when we have to clean up almost every inch of the house before the year ends, so that the start of the new year is clean and fresh. For those who are having guests over the Holiday season, the cleaning is almost doubled. Cleaning has to be done before guests arrive, and after they have left.

It’s not my specialty, cleaning chores. I find it tedious. And I easily get frustrated if I try to clean something and it really doesn’t end up absolutely gleaming with cleanliness.

Here are some examples of things in the house that are hard to make spotlessly clean.

- Electronic equipment
- Appliances
- Grooves in the walls and the windows
- The frigging roof, gate and driveway
- Carved things
- Mineral stains in the bathroom and kitchen sink
- The grout
- Bottoms of pots and pans
- Kids’ toys
- Glass in windows and sliding doors

and basically everything that has a groove, a carving, or a nook and cranny that is hard to reach with just a broom, or any type of cleaning cloth.

What is there to do with this? A toothbrush is nifty to remove dust in small spaces. Sandpaper is good for removing mineral stains on bathroom fixtures. Cotton earbuds are useful for anything that has holes. Just make sure you have more than just a day to clean those hard to reach places. Ever tried cleaning the holes on your tv with a cotton earbud? It’s just like cleaning a lot of ears.

Which makes me wonder.
Why hasn’t anyone made a cleaning tool that could clean hard to reach places? I mean, just look around your own house. How many items do you have that would need special cleaning tools? If someone thought of creating the knife that has all those tools put together in one tool with a toothpick included, why hasn’t anyone created a cleaning tool that combines various cleaning tools for hard to reach places? Or a cleaning tool that could clean things without destroying them? Removing the grime from the bottom of pans using a steel wool would surely make a lot of scratches on it. Using sandpaper to clean the grout would eventually remove the grout. How about another tool that could suck up the dustballs from inside the electronic appliances without pulling out the wiring inside?

These are the things that stay-at-home moms like me need. But here we are improvising on what tools to use to keep our places clean. How many houses are there in world that would buy such a thing? ROI would definitely be easy for whoever creates it, manufactures it, and markets it. Patenting it wouldn’t be a bad idea too.

Oh well, these are the things that moms like me sometimes look for but know isn’t available. Or maybe not yet.
