So even though I was sick this past weekend, it didn't stop me from thinking of all that needs to be done around here cleaning-wise! I think being laid up in bed actually accentuates what needs to be done because you can't do anything about it! So I decided to make a list - which works best for me - of what needs to be done. This will be combined with de-cluttering and purging/organizing the rooms as well, since that's a spring cleaning item. I'm also happy to say that I've accomplished some of this already!
I'll be updating this every couple of days (along with photos of the areas I'm re-organizing with before and after photos) to hold myself accountable!
1.
Make vinegar cleaning solution (I found this recipe online: Mix a solution of 1 part water to 1 part vinegar in a new store bought spray bottle and you have a solution that will clean most areas of your home.)
2.
Clean all glass in the house with the solution (windows, sills, patio door, glass picture frames, mirrors)
3.
Dust thoroughly (i.e. pick up items and dust underneath them)
4.
Vacuum thoroughly (i.e. move furniture when possible and vacuum underneath them. Also pick up couch cushions and vacuum underneath.)
5.
Clean off mat underneath Santi's high chair
6. Clean out cabinets in kitchen and wipe down
7. Clean out refrigerator
8. Clean out cabinets in guest bathroom
9. Clean out cabinets in master bathroom
10. Clean blinds and curtains
11. Wash duvet and all blankets
12. Go through each room and purge items - place on EBay, craigslist and Amazon if they can be sold. Place in donate box if they can't be sold
13. Go through Santi's clothes and pull out things that are too small, worn, etc. Donate what can be donated and save what can be saved
14.Organize extra photos in photo boxes by dates
15. Clean all floors in kitchen, bathrooms and entryway
16. Clean out catbox and wipe down inside and out
17. Clean out Santi's humidifier
What are YOU doing for spring cleaning this year?
