8 Week Cleaning Challenge

Welcome to week three of the 8 Week Cleaning Challenge!

The bathrooms are clean. The bedrooms are clean. Now it’s time to tackle the laundry room. As I created the list of things to do this week, I realize some things won’t apply to you, so you’re off the hook. If, for example, you don’t have windows in your laundry room; no need to clean something that’s not there, right?

Cleaning the Laundry Room

  • Wash the Floor- If you are able, wash the floor under your washer and dryer as well. You will not believe how gross it gets under there… Here’s a peek at what mine looked like when I got under the dryer… yuck!

Cleaning the Dryer

I used my DIY Floor Cleaner to get all the grime off the floor.

  • Vacuum/Dust the Baseboards
  • Dust All Surfaces- With all the lint flying around, dusting is a must. Try using a microfiber dusting mitt, like this one, to really trap dust well.
  • Clean Windows & Window Sills- This Norwex Cleaning Package is my favorite cleaning “tool” ever! I highly recommend it for cleaning all the glass around your home… windows, mirrors, etc.
  • Dust Blinds
  • Wash Laundry Sink/Tub
  • Clean your Washing Machine
  • Clean your Dryer
  • Organize Laundry Supplies- Toss items that are old/no longer used
  • Empty the Trash- If your laundry room is small, here’s an idea for creating a lint box you can hang on the wall.
  • Wash Rug(s)
  • Dust/Clean Vents and Cold Air Returns
  • Disinfect Door Knobs and Light Switches- Try using these DIY Cleaning Wipes
  • Wash All the Laundry… Fold It… Put It Away
  • Iron

As always, here’s a printable cleaning list for this week: 8 Week Cleaning Challenge Laundry Room

Remember not to neglect the areas you have already cleaned (bathrooms and bedrooms). Go through each room and tidy up/clean areas that need addressing.

    Erin,

    You don’t know how nice it is to finally meet another list maker. Making lists tends to keep me more focused and organized while I’m cleaning! I ran across something this morning I thought you might be interested in, if you haven’t seen it already. Its for your laundry, or maybe even other fabrics. Its called “how to remove something with something else.” Not sure how I’m going to get it to you but I pinned it on my cleaning tips board. I know your usually up for a challenge, and thought you might like it, especially if it works. sam

    Hey Erin, love how you breakdown the cleaning for all the rooms… I’m almost tempted to clean! Unfortunately, our laundry room does have a window, I opened the blinds once, got scared from the amount of cobwebs (there could be live spiders there!) and have not opened them since 🙂

      I always think taking on the whole house at once can be overwhelming. I’ve always found that focusing on one room, or area, at a time makes the process feel more manageable. Love your window story… you can just skip that part 🙂
