Subtitle: There is a very specific kind of satisfaction that comes from looking down at a freshly mopped, gleaming floor. The house smells clean, the dust bunnies are banished, and everything feels right in the world. But then, you look down at your mop bucket, and your heart sinks.
Let me tell you about the first time I had to decide where to dump my mop water.
I was in my thirties, and I’d just mopped my kitchen floor. I was staring at a bucket of gray, murky water, and I didn’t know where to dump it. I didn’t want to spill it. I was worried about the smell.
I decided to pour it down the toilet. It seemed like the most logical choice. But I’ve also used the bathtub. I’ve never been sure which is better.
I did some research, and I found that there is a right answer.
