8 Week Cleaning Challenge: Living Spaces

Welcome to week five of the 8 Week Cleaning Challenge! This week we are working to clean and organize our living spaces.

 

We are half way through our 8 Week Cleaning Challenge! Four weeks down, four more to go. This week we’re concentrating on our living spaces: living rooms, rec rooms, playrooms, etc. … the places you unwind and relax, play games, do puzzles, and have conversation.

As a reminder, you have an entire week to work on these spaces. I know a lot can accumulate in these areas, especially if you have young children. Just take it one day at a time. Here is your To Do List for this week:

Clean & Organize Living Spaces

• Depending on your flooring, vacuum or wash the floors. If your carpets are a little smelly, freshen them up with this DIY Carpet Deodorizer.
• Vacuum/Dust Baseboards
• Dust All Surfaces, Wall Frames, Ceiling Fans/Other Fans, and Screens. You can find some of my favorite dusting hacks here.
• If you have wood furniture, polish it. You can even make your own furniture polish with vinegar and oil
• Clean the Windows and Window Sills- I know I talk about this every week, but these glass cleaning cloths are my favorite thing ever!
• Dust/Clean Blinds
• Wash Any Blankets You May Have
• Clean Mirrors
• Remove Couch Cushions… Find Treasures… Vacuum
• Deodorize your Upholstery- Here’s an easy DIY Upholstery Spray or use the Carpet Deodorizer mentioned above
• Sort, Organize, Donate/Toss- This is another areas where the DONATE, PUT AWAY, NEEDS A HOME boxes may come in handy, especially if going through a playroom.
• Dust/Clean Heating Vents & Cold Air Returns
• Disinfect Door Knobs & Light Switches- Try using these DIY Cleaning Wipes
