How to wash the counter like a man
Welcome to the aftermath of breakfast in our home.
It’s enough to send a mouse into ecstatic convulsions. Speaking of which, here is a mouse-eye view of the mess.
Here’s how to clean this mess like a man.
Take everything off the counter. I moved my stuff onto the table. If that makes your table dirty, here’s how to clean it.
Starting in one corner, wipe the counter with a wet cloth.
Wipe to the next corner.
And the next corner.
And the next corner.
And the next cor . . . whoops, got carried away there.
Keep wiping in a (counter) clockwise fashion until all the crumbs and whatnot are gathered into the centre of the counter.
Wipe the crumbs off the counter and into the palm of your other hand.
Dump the crumbs in the sink. You might want to make sure you haven’t just cleaned your sink.
Rinse off the cloth, and wring it out.
Wash any stubborn spots still left on the counter, and clean the backsplash.
Ah. Much better.
Here’s the clean counter with everything put back.
