I have small scatter rugs, on top of the carpeting, linoleum and wood floor (a small section) and I forget what color my wall to wall is.

She does dishes like at a Chinese reastaurant ... almost as soon as your done with your plate (even though she’s still eating), she slips out of her chair, takes it to the sink, rinses quickly and sits back down quicker’n a fly fleeing the swatter.

I am similar, although I no longer rinse plates until everyone is done. It annoyed my family.

I do wash every utensil, bowl and pan as soon as it is finished being used while I am cooking. That way, almost all my clean up is done before the meal is served. It’s a holdover from the days when we had few pans and bowls and had to eat in the kitchen. I don’t want to eat in full view of dirty dishes.

I use those waiting times while something is heating in the microwave, for example, to quickly clean some corner that has been irritating me. I have friends who are similar.

I would not mind a cleaner wearing a mask. Perhaps they have allergies. It is the quality of the work that’s important.

Those washable scatter rugs protect whatever is beneath them.

I’m not Filipina. But I approve of your wife!
