I am going to DO IT !! Spring Cleaning here I come ..



Starting Monday that is . LOL Once again A Bowl Full of Lemon's has inspired me !
I am going to adjust the schedule a little bit to try and give me a couple more days of "Free" time since my boys will be gone.
Here is A Bowl Full Of Lemon's Cleaning tips and schedule for spring cleaning.
Here is what I will attempt to do :

Day 1:
  • Clean all baseboards, banisters, walls, windows & mirrors (spraying everything with Basic H eliminates the need for a bucket of water & cleaner)
  • Clean all glass surfaces
  • Wipe down electronics
  • Wash all curtains (including shower curtains)
  • Wash all bedding (including quilts & pillows)
  • Flip mattresses
  • Empty all trash cans, clean and sanitize them.

Day 2:
  • Clean the kitchen:
  • Clear the entire counter top and sanitize
  • Wipe out & organize all cabinets. Throw out old food and dishes you no longer use.
  • Wipe off the top of fridge
  • Dust fridge coils
  • Clean out fridge and freezer
  • Clean out oven (including vents)
  • Clean microwave
  • Sanitize the sink and garbage disposer
  • Wipe down all appliances.

Day 3:
  • Change all filters (furnace, water filtration)
  • Add salt to water softener
  • Polish all furniture in house (and wax if needed)
  • Clean toilets, sinks, medicine cabinets and showers
Vacuum out couches & chairs
  • Wash couch cushions
  • Vacuum and mop all floors
  • Wash rugs


Day 4:
  • Shampoo all carpets
  • Replace all smoke detector batteries
  • Replace burnt out lightbulbs


I will attempt to do all of this in 4 days .. I do have a part time job that I work . So hopefully i can finish the Spring Cleaning on the days that I work and Be "off " on the last 3 or 4 days of spring break and have some down time and a very clean house.
I have realized this blog has been very helpful to me. Mainly it helps to hold me accountable !
So Monday I start ! here goes !!
