Why does every deep clean start with one dirty spoon and end with your entire apartment turned upside down?

Nobody ever plans a deep clean. You tell yourself you’re just going to wipe down the kitchen counter. That’s it. Five minutes, tops. Then you notice the microwave could use a scrub. While grabbing the cleaner, you remember the cabinet under the sink is a complete disaster. You pull everything out, find three reusable shopping bags you forgot you owned, a birthday candle from 2022, batteries that may or may not work, and somehow you’re sitting on the floor making emotional decisions about whether you really need to keep a charger for a phone you haven’t owned in seven years.

Deep cleaning isn’t cleaning; it’s archaeology.
