Why Can't My Tub Clean Itself?


Someone needs to invent a self-cleaning house. It’s the 21st century. Man has been to the moon. Sheep are created in beakers. Why can’t my tub clean itself?

Day after day, week after week, it’s the same routine. I pull out cleansers, sponges, dusters, the Swiffer, paper towels, rubber gloves and get to work. It wouldn’t be so tedious if there were an end, or even a vacation in sight, but there isn’t. You can escape work. You can escape people, but you can’t escape the dust. Eventually, it shows up. You can run, but you can’t hide.

I appreciate the iPod and vehicles and especially the World Wide Web, but what would really be nice is a floor that never needed to be scrubbed, a carpet that never needed to be vacuumed and the complete eradication of spider webs!

Is there a genius out there who can work on that?
