3 things I would NEVER have in my own home as the owner of a cleaning company ๐๐งผ
And yesโฆ theyโre all gorgeous. Until youโre the one trying to keep them clean. ๐
1๏ธโฃ A copper sink โ Stunning for approximately 5 minutes. ๐ญ Copper patinas SO quickly, meaning the finish is constantly changing and showing water spots, discoloration, and marks. If you love a perfectly polished, consistent-looking sinkโฆ good luck.
2๏ธโฃ High-gloss black furniture โ You could dust it at 9:00 AM and somehow it looks dusty again by 9:07. ๐ซ Dust, fingerprints, streaks, smudgesโฆ it shows EVERYTHING.
3๏ธโฃ Small mosaic tile in a shower โ Cute tile = approximately 47 million grout lines to scrub.
๐ The smaller the tile, the more grout you have collecting soap scum, mildew, and buildup.
Do I think all three can look beautiful?
Absolutely.
Would I personally sign myself up to maintain them? Absolutely not. ๐๐
Sometimes owning a cleaning company changes the way you look at home design forever๐ซ Whatโs something you thought was a great design choice but youโve grown to hate cleaning over time?
