There is a big difference between a normal person who likes order and
the cleanliness and someone who polishes the kitchen so it shines.

I can even understand wanting things to look spiffy with company
coming over, but I have better things to to than polish the sink. I
have a nice jug of Soft Scrub to keep things neat & sanitary, but I
draw the line at sink polishing on a regular basis..That's time for
tranqs.
