>> To insist on a mud free ground floor in our house would be quite a challenge. Not that we ( she ) doesn't clean it but it is allowed to be used in between whiles.
Likewise, in Spades. Mud and dead leaves are a large part of the environment.
There is a cleaner who comes for a few hours once a week and does some floor cleaning, but of course we do some too, herself doggedly, I when I feel guilty.
The worst problem isn't mud, especially dried mud which responds very well to an ordinary broom, but goddam cats and the things they leave lying about: mice, voles and shrews alive and half-alive, chewed-up birds or their viscera, and cat sick when they've eaten too much or swallowed too many beaks and claws... even found a piece of bat wing on the hearthrug recently. It's kind of them but I wish they wouldn't.
Now the nippers bring this cute little kitten which rather unusually isn't housetrained.
Mud? Luxury!
