That's a phrase that brings a smile to a buyer's face. Well ok fine, some people don't care but it saved me a couple thousand bucks for a fridge, washer and dryer.
The only problem is they're "dirty". Dirty is a good word. It covers a whole entire gamut ranging from streaks on windows to mud covered trucks and hundreds of dust bunnies roaming the fertile plains of a bedroom.
Its companion "Clean" is just as broad. Years ago in a conversation about cleaning I came to the realization that different people have definitions of clean that may only intersect occasionally.
In this conversation we were talking about cleaning a wooden glass top table. Remove the stuff from the top, wipe it down, dust it, some windex and for me it is clean. One person disagreed. It wasn't clean until the glass was removed from the table and the underside of the table was clean. For myself, unless I saw something on the underside of the glass, it wouldn't have occurred to me to do that. Differing versions of clean.
I ramble on about clean because the people who lived in this house lived in a state of "clean" which I would call filth. I had an inkling of it when removing the carpet. Yes it didn't smell good and there was dog hair and dirt but I didn't expect nastiness of this degree.
I took no "before" pictures of the fridge. You wouldn't want to see them. Really. I was reluctant to put bottled water inside.
I mean it.
I should have worn gloves.
I will only go so far as to say that there was hair in the refrigerator...not A hair. Hair. Hair, how shall I say it...of varying curliness. At one point I just essentially hosed down the interior and wet/dry vac'd the bare concrete floor.
In any case, I now have a fridge into which I can put actual food I intend to eat. Shocking.
<----Clean Fridge. Yay.
<--Yes, a lot of bottled water.
<--Don't ask. I said it was nasty, remember?
