OPINION: I never knew what a bad housekeeper I was until I let a good one clean my house. At first I felt guilty when my friend Paula, a professional house cleaner, came to do the basics. Next was shame, especially when she said: "I would have vacuumed your room except it took me four hours to clean your stove top." Then, like a small child who'd never had sugar before, came a newfound dependence, bordering on mania, for all things sparkling clean. followtheflow/123RF It's easy to get hooked on a sparkling clean house.
