I just can't find the energy to do BOTH. We have 3 kids so there are always toys everywhere and tons of things to put away before the real cleaning even begins.
Yes, I can see myself OCCASIONALLY mopping. Last time I poured myself a glass of French red wine to make mopping the tiles in my kitchenette easier. It worked! What a discovery.

Vacuuming - not, for the life of me, not. Somehow it is the most dreaded task for me.

Another thing is (and you can probably relate to it), when things are sort of OK, I can make them 100% OK, but if things are horrible and I need an effort to go from 0 to a 100, I cannot. On the upside, this makes me hopeful that when the cleaners start coming in regularly for deeper cleaning, I would have enough motivation to wipe the range and counters and the sinks in-between their visits.
