Josephine . . .

A while ago I blogged about meeting Georgia for the first time. Who is Georgia you ask? She's my Shark Pocket Steam Mop. She rocks. Since our love affair began in February, we are still going strong. I have a few tricks I use. Sometimes if I want a really deep cleaning on the floors or if I have lots of pet dirt I use my vinegar and water sprayer and pre-spray the floor. It is especially helpful in the kitchen with the grease that gets on the floor plus, we live in a 100+ year old house and have 2 dogs that go outside through the kitchen.

I have been wanting a handheld steam cleaner for some time now, as I have starting using only natural cleaning products over the last few years. Since I have been so happy with Georgia, I knew I would love a handheld version for sinks, countertops, spot cleaning etc. I was just too cheap to buy one. I kept telling myself that my love for vinegar and baking soda was strong and I didn't want anyone to come between us but truthfully I was cheap.

Fastforward to last week. I stepped into Goodwill for a quick visit on Friday. I saw a beautiful sight on the self in the housewares section. It was as if the sky opened and the angels sang . . .

I saw Josephine for the first time. And she was only $10! Woot! The tag said "Works great!" I looked like a fool snatching that girl up faster than you can say "thrifty"! I hugged her so no one could steal her put her in my cart and headed to the checkout and back to work.

My little OCD mind was reeling all day with what I could clean when I get home. (I know I am nuts!) and when I got home I tried her and she worked perfectly! She steamed gunk off my faucet, my counters, and especially well off my flat top cooker which I totally regret buying!

Georgia, you are still my BFF, but we have a new friend in our circle! Meet my darling Josephine!
