Washed Clean
Any idea how long you spend cleaning whether that be personal hygiene, vacuuming, housework, the car or garden path? Some estimates are at least 10 hours a week which is more than 200 weeks for a person living to the age of 70. Power washing is a satisfying experience but no matter how clean you get the path, it doesn’t take long for it to become dirty once again. Even if you do a very thorough Spring-clean removing all the ‘hard-to-get’ cobwebs, those spiders are watching and their webs will be back, never mind the other crumbs and detritus. Take your finger nails – while short-clipped nails show an average of 370 germ colonies, even samples taken from underneath chewed nails showed an average of 16.6 germ colonies. Bugs and dirt seem to be part of life. And then there’s dealing with the soil of the soul that also comes through daily grind.
