Shark Steam Cleaner, Marry Me!

Yes space invaders, it was love at first sight with that infomercial. It actually was funny at first, with over enthusiastic man and the skeptical woman. But now I want it.

I'm not sure why, but I think the shark machine might actually work. Well, I have to wait for the commercial so I can get it for 35 bucks instead of 125.

(Not only does it steam the floors, upholstery and windows, but it is a steam presser for clothes).

Whites Clothes

Pit stains? ketchup slips? yellow on white?

Don't despair. I had researched and researched... on the internet. First, use Oxi clean. Why? because most stains can be removed with this product. Do I own one? Hell no. I like my 6 bucks. Copy and paste this link into your browser and check out this specific laundry stain remover.

I use 1.5 cups of hydrogen peroxide with 2 tables spoons of baking soda. Both are less than 3 bucks, yet it does the same amount of work as Oxi clean does.

The other is Borax. Ok.. Borax is a borate compound that does many things. One of them is a laundry detergent. It is also a polymer. You can use Borax with hard water, it actually works better in hard water.

I really love white shirts. I feel clean and refined. Sometimes they are difficult to maintain. One thing I keep in mind as I wear them is that I have to take them off as soon as I get home. Buy a bucket from the grocery store and keep it in handy for white shirts. Remember, as soon as you get home, fill it up to the brim with mild water and pour in your favorite detergent

Back To Attack

Dear Space Invaders!

If you are here, it's because you need my help. In these hard economic times, hiring a cleaner just won't cut it. But that's not true. If you are working, you are working even harder, Am i right? So a cleaner is needed.

My prices are still the same (and will be for a while). Now is the time to keep a clean home in order to have a sound mind. Making the usual social networking connections on weekends can open up doors to a new adventure,a new you.

You come home, put your feet up, pop off a beer or a DVD of Sex and the City ( the 4th season ) and relax. Your house is spotless. Suze Orman is dead wrong when she said on Oprah " Your FICO score is you". Nah! your house is you.

Humanoids, have a great weekend.

Vacation time

Dear Space Invaders,

I have to take some time off soon because as you know, I am really tired. Yes, I too run out of stamina, and well, I need some resting time. So schedule an appointment after January 6th, 2009. I will not be taking anymore clients before then. :( sorry

See you next year!

"Truth is the daughter of time, and I feel no shame in being her mid-wife" Johannes Kepler

Dear Space Invaders,

No, I am not taking philosophy, that is Johannes Kepler, 17th century Mathematician and Astronomer and astrologer (no real difference at the time). He is the man who came out with the "Laws of Planetary Motion" data taken from Tycho Brahe, Danish Astronomer,Alchemist and rich boy. They had a bitter sweet relationship, times were Kepler said " FU Tycho, I'm going back to Prague!" but they would reconcile time and time again. After Tycho's death, Kepler continued on with the work which made him an important figure in Astronomy today.

So being Rocket Maid is not just about cleaning and keeping a safe environment but learning about the universe and those who helped shape our understanding of it.

Things I would like to understand better: Mass (what is exactly) and the black hole (damn u black hole, defying laws of physics!)

Well, Space Invaders, I'm off!

Signs of Life

Hello Space Invaders,

Fall is here. Fall cleaning is becoming a trend. In fact, all season cleanings are. What is fall cleaning? It is simple.

First: Curtain change to a slightly darker color. Curtains should be washed every three months. Allergens get trapped there and you can get sick.

Second: Since our economy is not doing well,donating your summer frocks would be an advantage. Less clothes = more space. Clutter is an enemy to Rocket Maid. His name is El General Clutter. He usually likes to camp around bachelor pads.

Third: New Mop, New Broom. The fall is a good time to change mop heads and buy a new broom. It should be done every fall and spring. Unless you have the patience to sanitize them,(wouldn't recommend it) buy them.

Fourth: When I think of fall, i think of cinnamon. I know, it sounds insane. But space invaders, what scent makes you think of the fall season? see if you can put that in your apartment.

Fall is a great time to start over. Stick to your routines, just because summer is over doesn't mean you should stop running, eating right, or cleaning.
