Re: Housekeeping
Alhamdulilah, my brothers are not like that. They help with a lot. Last week, I came home really late from school to find the house spotless, and all the dishes done and dried  The oldest and the youngest did that. And today, I had a lot of schoolwork to do so I told them I couldnt do much, my dad cooked for us, and one of the brothers is about to do the dishes.
BUT, dont be fooled, they're all still really messy.  |

Re: Housekeeping
Yeah, it was pretty cute. They were grinning ear to ear as I walked in, waiting for my reaction.

Their wives worked all day, two full-time jobs actually. Not to mention all their part-time jobs.

Salaams Sis,
Hey can I come and be your maid???
Even if you are not serious about the white/blonde part, you may want to seriously consider a German maid. Also about the 200 years part-you know Negros were not the only slaves-why not check out the whole history-although tragic, rather interesting...for example
History of slavery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Arab slave trade - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Islam and slavery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Re: Housekeeping
I plan to wake up EARLY and clean the ENTIRE house. But I don't even think we own the "proper tools".

Re: Housekeeping
assalamu alaykum
awww!
I have no cleaning tips, just questions.
How do you effectively remove dust from marble floors? Without it just going everywhere? This is a big problem here, combined with sand, we don't even open the windows!
thanks
