The one thing about our new house that drives me crazy is our kitchen floor.  First, let me just say, that it looks gorgeous.  Truly.  It is an amazing floor.

It is a faux-tile linoleum.  Which, as anyone who listens to me bitch can tell you, DRIVES ME NUTS.  If you’re gonna make it look like tile, why not just go ahead and tile it?

But what’s really odd?  Is that you’re not supposed to use anything other than water to clean it.

No, seriously.  

It’s some fancy-schmancy linoleum that is uber durable.  Unless, obviously, you want to clean it.  At which point it will disintegrate (maybe?).  

We have three dogs, a cat, an infant, and half of an eight year old.  And Bryan.  Needless to say, we end up cleaning the kitchen floor pretty regularly.  And although I never knew it before, I am learning that I very much want to SMELL the cleaning products before I’ll feel that the floor is clean.

Which led me to think about other smells that I’m picky about.

Potpourri and air freshners?  Need to smell clean.  Clean linen, citrus breeze, fresh air, spring rain, all that crap.  OR have lavender in it. (My favorite FAVORITE candle is Yankee Candle’s Lemon Lavender.  The best of both worlds.) 

Are there smells you’re picky about?
