Cleaning in Egyptian style - a bucket of water, mass and fifteen minutes of free time!
House cleaning is a responsible business, and it doesn't matter in which country.
The Egyptians approach this issue in a very peculiar way. A bucket of water, mass and fifteen minutes of free time!
To begin with, the Egyptian apartment is different from many others. Here you will not find fashionable laminate, expensive parquet or soft carpet. Tile! He's everywhere!
In the bathroom, kitchen, bedroom, living room and nursery. Given the country's hot climate, this material is everywhere on the floor. In summer, cold tiles are an excellent escape from the heat, and in winter, when the cold from it intensifies, carpets are laid on the floor. In this way, the warmth and comfort in the house is preserved.
Cleaning in Egypt is not tricky. Here, in the arsenal of the hostess there are no modern microfiber rags, and a washing vacuum cleaner is rarely found in ordinary families. Self-wringing mops, chemical agents for the bathroom and kitchen separately, are rare here, not available to many.
But in every house there is a container for water and mass! A thing familiar to every Egyptian from childhood.
If we compare it with something from the familiar things, most likely it will be a device for cleaning windows. A strip with a rubber edge is fixed on the long handle, and it is passed over the glass, thereby clearing it of dirt and dust.
Massa works in much the same way. At first glance, it can be mistaken for a mop, only a rag is not needed. The main thing is the tight rubber edge.
The cleaning process looks like this, a bucket of water, possibly with a disinfectant, is poured onto the floor and driven in a mass through the entire apartment to the toilet or kitchen. It is in there that there is a special drain for these purposes. Often, before such cleaning, no one sweeps the floor, and dust and small debris are captured by a stream of water and a mass.
Not usual, but proven for decades and reliable in Egyptian! The Egyptians are very adept at this technique, and a large area can be washed in ten to fifteen minutes!
By the way, marble here is not only the floor, kitchen countertops and tables, and even benches on the street in Egypt from this material.
