Scrubbing and attention Scrubbing, the follow-up.

Short version: I have problems with scrubbing effectively because I miss spots and have to iterate cleaning several times. There's various advice about scrubbing, of which using hotter water and not using the curly metal scrubbie seem to be the most immediately valuable. What I think of as an attention problem may be less serious than I thought-- I need to proofread what I write, so the same may apply to cleaning.

Plausible advice I haven't tried yet-- approach cleaning in 30 minute chunks so that a feeling of accomplishment/completion is possible.

Is pair-cleaning an option for you? You know, like when you were a little kid, and company was coming over, so your mom would give you 10-minute tasks to do for an hour. Except you and another person do it for each other :D
