What you don't know won't hurt you

Quick question - what does a rubbish bin have to do with a dish sponge? Nothing, right? Well, much to my horror, my cleaning lady doesn't seem to think so.

I walked into the kitchen this morning and I saw her using the dish sponge to wipe out the waste basket- yes the BIN - where rubbish and various other refuse reside!!!! She'd removed the rubbish (thankfully) but hellow! It's the basket that holds waste product for crying out loud!

I thought of the bacteria, I thought of the filth and I admit I thought of throwing Sophia into the very bin she was cleaning.

With supreme effort, I managed to quell my initial reaction and told her (in what I hoped was a calm voice) that the dish sponge was to go nowhere near the rubbish bin. It was strictly for the dishes only.

Call me a freak but I've spent the most of my morning trying to stop myself from thinking about all the other mistakes that Sophia might be making when I'm not around.

She might be using the tootbrushes to clean the toilets, the floor rag to clean the refrigerator and the shoe brush to clean the sink. Who knows what other horrors are going to come to light but frankly, I'd rather remain in the dark!

What you don't know won't hurt you - at least I hope so!
