Oh how I love instructions!

I suppose one of the reasons I am able to put up with my corporate job is the structure of it all. There are rules to be followed. There is a designated way to get things done. Well, a gentleman on Fetlife (ScholarDom) just about made my day when he posted his instructions on how to do the dishes and clean the bathroom.

So detailed and precise, I decide to deviate from my own way of doing things and followed his directions for cleaning the bathroom:

Instructions for Cleaning the Bathroom
1. Pick up all garbage.
2. Tidy the counters.
3. Dust the cabinets and baseboards. Don't forget on top of the cabinets.
4. Sweep the floor.
5. Using Vim spray and a rag, clean the sink and faucet hardware.
6. Using Vim spray and the same rag, clean the showerhead, and then the shower walls.
7. Using Vim spray and a rag, Clean the bathtub from outside to in, from top to bottom.
8. For steps 5-7, if grime is particularly stubborn, clean again with Vim cream and a rag.
9. Using Vim spray and the same rag, clean the outside (bowl and tank) of the toilet
10. Using Vim spray and the same rag, clean the toilet seats and cover. Do not forget to get into and under the hinges and joins at the back.
11. Using the specific toilet scrubber, clean the inside of the toilet bowl. Do not miss under the rim.
12. If grime in the toilet is stubborn, clean it with Vim spray and the rag.

What resulted was sublime. Cleanliness to the max. Had to use the U.S. equivalent to Vim, but that wasn’t the point of following the instructions. The point was to expose myself to another way of cleaning. With instructions like these, I didn’t miss a spot! I am quite pleased.
