I like clean house. It is very satisfying to see a clean and organized home. I love Endust too. I can’t clean without it. Thanks for sharing this article.

It took forever and I hated every second of it. Wish I’d have thought of that when we were buying the table!

We specifically bought a second-hand dining room table because I knew it would get years of abuse, and I wanted to know it could stand up to the abuse. Our table – which I love – is from the 1930s and came from a private boy’s school. You can actually see the faint imprints of their old school work in some places on the table. I figured if it stood up to 75 years of abuse by a bunch of school kids, it could survive our family. Actually I think buying antiques where practical/possible is a great idea; you know anything that has survived decades of use is sturdy and well-made. Clearly that’s not for everyone; sometimes it doesn’t mesh with your style, sometimes antiques are too expensive and some antique items (like couches and chairs) are just too uncomfortable. But we have some stores near us that sell stuff I like at very good prices, so if I’m in the market for a new piece of furniture (as long as it’s not a couch or a chair) that’s the first place I go. As for couches and chairs – Ours are almost all second-hand. They may not be my favourites but they’re harder to clean than hard furnishings, and I figure if they’re second-hand I can be more relaxed about all those little “accidents” (like, “Mummy, I forgot I wasn’t supposed to eat on the couch!”) that are just an inevitable part of life.
