become a neat freak

Winter has come.

This weekend, I washed my shoes with Dettol, re-organized all my books and CDs into a large box and clean the table again.

I wash my feet with soap before putting on and after taking off my shoes, which are then put under strong sunshine. Socks are always washed with Dettol solution.

I have my shoes aired under the sun with the insoles taken out every time I took them off, in order to prevent bacteria that generate smell. I air my pillow at times too because it cannot easily be washed and dried.. I like airing things under sunshine; they smell good afterwards. I call it the UV smell, or the aseptic smell.

Dettol contains mostly PCMX. I use Dettol whenever and what ever I wash or clean. I washed my sheet, quilt, and all clothes with a solution of Dettol a couple of days ago. Now I just feel nice sleeping on my bed.
