I had this great idea today that while the kids were playing in our family room I would clean the stairs. You know, sweep, mop, etc. I grabbed the dustpan and broom and then remembered that my Swiffer is this size (obviously I don't clean the floors very often). So I went ahead and pulled out one of those Swiffer dry cloths to just use with my hand, but not wanting to use the mopping pad with my hand, I pulled out the next best thing: Pledge. I use Pledge on my wooden dining room table; why shouldn't I use it on my wooden stairs?
Sweeping: done. Swiffering: done. Pledge: done. I stand back and smile at my handiwork. "I am so amazing," I think to myself. Then I walk down the stairs in socks and almost die. Apparently treating your floors like a gleaming dining room tabletop is a bad idea. I have since spent the rest of the evening trying to dirty my stairs in an attempt to make them less slippery. I am also now wearing shoes.
