Day 8-Spring Cleaning for the Rest of Us: 30 Days to a Cleaner, Fresher Home

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 8 Task:

Let’s swap out our winter furnishings for our spring/summer ones! Well, unless you are like me and you don’t have special season specific furnishings. If you do though, today make sure you swap out those heavy curtains, rugs and throws for lighter ones. I’ll be taking a break today 😉

Swap Heavy Curtains, Rugs, and Throws for Lightweight Ones: Clean items first. To store, roll material around an acid-free tube; wrap in a clean sheet of cotton, muslin, or polyethylene; secure with twill tape, and label each bundle so you’ll know which is which.

That’s it for today! Be sure to come back tomorrow for the next task!
