Acid Trip

De-germing the lavabo ala NRNM uncle (http://www.livemint.com/2009/07/24201104/Tales-from-your-toilet.html) has not really germinated any management thought, other than a burning need to outsource these services. However, it must be said that aching arms, red nose, red eyes, copious acid inhalation and a possible allergic reaction later, the results are sparkling.
Middle class sensibilities dictate bathroom cleaning as a sort of rite of passage to adulthood, independence and on occasion, wooing the ladies. I remember a complete house swabbing and scrubbing session when a friend moved into a new apartment in Gurgaon, in the days of yore that a weekend comprised 48 non-working hours. Several months later, when I complained about the state of things at the same bachelor apartment, the gentlemen haunched up, bucket and brush in hand, to scrub the tiles. A sight that would warm the cockles of any female home-making heart!
This probably should make it to Q No. 334 on the matrimonial due diligence checklist, right after knead-iness- What sort of acid preferences do you have?
