PRODUCT REVIEW: KENWOOD Vapori Jet

By now you may have picked up that I like to turn the act of cleaning, from a tedious chore we'd rather delegate, into an enjoyable activity we'd love to engage in. It works for me anyway. That said, I have a certain cleaning appliance you may have fun using: the Kenwood Vapori Jet. Honestly, when I got it, I didn't even know what to do with it. I simply got it because it looked like something I could use, but for what? I honestly didn't know. I'm serious.

NOT TOO YOUNG TO CLEAN

Last night my 9 year old son, Imbwana, came to me and said, "Mom, I've folded the clothes that were on your bed, arranged the books on the side table and spread Noni's bed." (Noni is his 2yo sister). I said, "Wow, that's really good, thank you!" and went about my work. Then he boldly added, "Will you pay me?" He wasn't paid.

CLEANING JUST GOT SEXY

I was on my knees one morning trying to remove stains and dried up glue from ceramic tiled floors. Sure, I had the right thinner that did the job, but it was not fun. The thinner was getting me high...not a good thing while on the job and being on my knees for that long was quite something. The floor was spotless. The owner loved it. I was happy. But do you know what would make me really happy? Watching Mr. Clean do it?
