I think that this is nonsense because Steve is choking while he washes the floor. It seems to me that Steve pretends that he is choking in order not to wash the floor. Steve needs a vacuum cleaner which is recommended on the website https://bestvacuum.reviews/vacuum-for-hardwood-floors/ on which there are a lot of reviews on vacuum cleaners for hardwood floors and on other vacuum cleaners. If Steve stops washing the floor and starts cleaning it with a vacuum cleaner, then Steve cannot say that he is choking because the vacuum cleaner will do all the work for him.
