So, this weekend I plan to clean under the stove. I've bought some tile glue and a replacement tile in anticipation of the floor being so bad it needs to be replaced in that area. I'm ready.
However: Can I ask a question please?
How exactly is one supposed to keep the area under the stove and fridge clean? You know, in the ideal world? Are we meant to move it every month?
Why are there so many designs that are not sealed off OR open enough to fit a mop?

I sitting here filled with guilt since in like 17 years I've only cleaned under the stove and fridge like four times. Gross right?
Yeah, but I need help to move them. This is bad planning. I have been set up to fail and feel gross.

@futurebird I think cat toys, being knocked underneath, start to form a natural barrier to keep dirt out.

This is disturbing me because you may be correct.

@futurebird oh that's an easy one: you just don't look. then it's just as clean as when you move the fridge / stove in

@futurebird in the ideal world, i would have actual movable refrigerator risers instead of the makeshift planks my fridge is on.

Do any of these design people think about these things? Like at all?
I bet most people have a gross "crumb and soon to be sentient dust bunny" zone under there. You can clean a few inches in with a mop, and use a broom to get the cats toys out... but it's gross.

@futurebird the real friend is all the time and energy we've saved by *not* regularly cleaning under fridges and stoves and other heavy things.
