Cleaning Living Spaces Week 5 of the 8 week cleaning challenge title image

Welcome to week five of the 8 Week Cleaning Challenge!

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:

Cleaning 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 (If there is a television/computer in the room)-You can learn more about my favorite dusting products HERE
  • 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
  • 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

As always, here is the printable version for you to use: 8 Week Cleaning Challenge: Living Spaces

Happy Cleaning!

    I too love the idea of getting away from shop bought chemical type cleaning agents.
    I have just found your site, very interested in your ideas.
    Warm regards
