8 Week Cleaning Challenge: Entry

Welcome to week seven of the 8 Week Cleaning Challenge!

Here we are. Week 7. We are headed into our final two weeks of the 8 Week Cleaning Challenge. This week we are going to be working on cleaning and organizing the entry. This includes the front entry, mudroom, vestibule, etc. While these areas tend to be smaller in nature, a lot can accumulate: coats, shoes, hats, scarves, mittens, backpacks, grocery bags, mail, etc.

Cleaning the Entry

Depending on your flooring, vacuum or wash the floors- If you have tile, try this for cleaning grout.
Vacuum/Dust Baseboards
Wash Rug(s)
Dust All Surfaces
Clean the Windows and Window Sills- I know I talk about this every week, but these glass cleaning products are my favorite thing ever!
Dust/Clean Blinds
Dust/Clean Heating Vents & Cold Air Returns
Disinfect Door Knobs & Light Switches- Try using these DIY Cleaning Wipes

Bonus Points

Do something to spruce up your entry: Add some pictures, art, fresh flowers or a welcome sign.
