Domestic Working Practices

It is recommended that the principal operator is retrained as a matter of urgency and the long standing practice of unsupervised working is reviewed. The audit was initiated after the recent incident where it was discovered that the operator had used Spray Starch instead of Furniture Polish.

    well actually I'm impressed.

    I don't own either of said items, just as well as it is clearly important to use them correctly. xoxo

    I am very impressed, too, that you use such high tech items, being an adherent of spit and polish and only if important visitors are expected. (I thought spray starch was for patchwork ...)

    tee hee!!! Sarah says she loves how time is found in this particular household to polish - doesn't say much about the domestic arrangements at Chez Bebbs!

    I don't make a habit of using either item so not sure why I feel I have the right to be laughing so loudly!

    It's important to do ongoing training reviews when working with these rare chemicals.

    I wouldn't know what to do with them either.

    See, this is the reason why I put all the cleaning products under the sink and try to handle them as rarely as possible.

    I am not licensed to operate either of those tools. Probably a good things, too...a couple of weeks ago I put moisturizer on my toothbrush.

    (Realized the small toothpaste/moisturizer error with only moments to spare. Whew.)

    To whom are you referring?

    I've been thinking about the starch. Does it not give the furniture a slightly limed, distressed look? Is this not desirable?

    Yes, I do not own either of those items either. Just as well, given the sad lack of training around here.

    Ah well. WIth any luck, in the interim, Mr M will become so fantastic at housework you will never need to regain control!
