ive tried my polti out today and im not sure if i like it. i steam cleaned the bathroom and also my wheelie bin and the front door. ive made a booboo with the front door and somehow the paint seems to have smuged, so not sure what i did wrong there but know i wont be doing that again!

also i miss the chemical smell of cleaning products and it just doesnt seem to be clean or is that just cause im used to physically spraying chemicles and wiping so it seems to be more clean because of the smell?
