Spring Cleaning, Day 4
Wednesday was my final day of freedom babysitting for the grand spring cleaning adventure, so I thought it best to do a good cleaning throughout to prepare for the professional carpet and tile cleaning.
I tackled the kitchen first by doing the few dishes that were hanging out. I wiped down all of the counter tops and refrigerator handles and fronts of appliances. Then I cleaned the sliding glass door and then used the vacuum to clean the door track and the cobwebs and dust on top of the vertical blinds. I cleaned the mirror and then wiped down the table and chairs, including the legs.
I then moved on to the dining room. I cleaned the light fixture, wiped down the switches, art on the walls, and the doors. Then, I dusted the tables and bar and the window blinds. Then I cleaned the windows and cleaned the a/c unit. I did a quick dusting of the inside of the bar.
Next, I moved upstairs and stripped all of the beds and dusted all of the furniture in the 3 bedrooms and also dusted all of the blinds and cleaned the windows, and any mirrors. There was a bit of picking up to do so I did that, and then ran the vacuum on the carpet and floors, and then moved down to the kitchen and dining room to vacuum the floors down there.
I started a load of laundry and then made up the beds. Then I went to the basement and picked up the toys and sorted the clothes on the laundry room floor, and then vacuumed the carpet, laundry room floor and stairs.
I am so proud of all I accomplished during this time! I feel quite blessed that I had the resources to be able to do this. It is so wonderful to have the house so clean and organized!
