Shampooing the couch is
not one of my favorite things to do. It’s microfiber and that means that it
cleans up easily but it is also a light beige color and that means that it
needs to be cleaned often. Especially with boys in the house.
They are good boys and take their shoes off at the door,
not because I demand it but because I feel that barefoot is the only way to go…and
so do my brood. No, the crap that I have to shampoo off of my light colored
couch is drool. My boys will fall asleep on the couch and drool in their sleep
which inevitably ends up on the couch. Since the couch is so light in color,
you see that little drool spot at forty paces. Oh, I try to ignore it, act like
I didn’t see, try to convince myself it will go away without me having to drag
out my shampooer and work up a sweat cleaning up. It never works and eventually
I have to shampoo. However, as an added bonus to the scrubbing I get to do, I get
to do the entire thing because it is such a light color that when you clean a
section of it, it looks worse. Rather than looking like you spot-cleaned a
little section, it looks like someone peed all over it and that I just stood by
and let it happen. I have to literally clean the entire thing, top to bottom,
back to front, to give it that seamless look of having not been urinated on.
You might have guessed that I just got done shampooing
that great behemoth that is twenty-three shades than I should have bought it in
and you would be right. At least now that the whole thing is wet everyone is
sitting on the floor and drool hides much easier there.
