Several elderly relatives told me of their experiences.

Borax, by the way, is a far superior cleaner to most of the products you'll find on the shelf. So is vinegar and baking soda. Now that the weather is warmer, and we can throw open the windows, we are doing something similar. I don't mind it. Like you said, put on some music, or a sports event, and get it done. Your posted comic is great, grumbles at first, followed by a sense of well-being. The hardest part is the first ten minutes. Four hours later and I'm still going.
