The Challenge:
I have started a series titled, “Spring Cleaning for the Rest Of Us-30 Days to a Cleaner, Fresher Home“. We will be going off of Martha’s spring cleaning checklist here and completing each major task, only we’ll be doing just 1 a day.
Now, I know some of you will likely go on vacation or get sick or maybe you don’t do housework on Sundays…and that’s fine. You’ll just have to double up some other days (or go a bit longer than 30 days). It’s also likely that there will be a day that doesn’t apply to you (maybe it’s a day we wax our floors and none of your floors are the type to need waxing), so you get that day off. Some of you might also have older kids that can help out with some of the more complex tasks, that’s fine too! I encourage you to get the whole family involved, cleaning is everyone’s job .
All that matters is that we get this stuff done, without getting even further behind on our day to day housekeeping.
***Day 5 Task:
Today lets head into our bathrooms and start throwing out everything that is past it’s expiration date. I’m looking at you old tube of mascara! Keeping expired makeup around *just in case* can really make for a cluttered make up bag! You might run out before you can buy more, but is it really healthy to put expired cosmetics on your face? Probably not worth it. Go ahead and do a big purge of all your health and beauty products and feel the relief of having everything up to date!
Discard Expired Cosmetics & Beauty Products: Secure these items in a plastic trash bag, and keep it out of reach of children and animals.
That’s it for today! Be sure to come back tomorrow for the next task!
