Ta Da!
Bathroom full deep cleaning - 14 minutes
I cleaned the tub, sink, and toilet with Comet
I swept the floor
I took the trash out
I swiffered the floor
No clutter had to be taken out, or items removed (except bathmat to the laundry basket)!!!!! Everything was in its place still!
Bedroom - This room took ten minutes exactly
Picked up items on floor
Made bed
Vacuumed
I am choosing not to swiffer in here because it doesn't need it at this time. (is that allowed?!?!?!?
)
Son's Bedroom - 6 minutes (is that really all it takes!?!?!?
I put a couple of pens and books away
cleaned up a sticky mess on the table. I first stuck my hand in it, and then realized a book was stuck in it. I almost went back to my squalorly ways and left the mess, thinking it was too hard. Was almost frozen by it. But then I went and got a wet wash cloth. I cleaned the book off and put it on the bookshelf (thirty seconds) and then I cleaned the table (another thirty seconds) then I washed my hands (thirty seconds more)
I made the bed
I hung up the shirt and a couple of hangers that had fallen in the closet
I vacuumed
I would normally have my son help out, he does all of his maintainence (and does it well, obviously!) but he was out at church, and it was pretty clean anyway, so I went ahead and did it. He made me so proud today, he put his own cereal bowl in the sink and rinsed it with absolutely no reminders from me! I love him!
Kitchen - I forgot to time this, but it took about ten minutes or maybe fifteen.
I washed four dishes
I cleaned the sink with dish soap and a washcloth ( it is stainless, so I am not sure if I can use cleanser)
Cleaned off the table top
Closed the cupboard
Checked to see if Stove needed cleaning (nope hadn't been used)
Put the hot dog buns in the freezer so they can't go bad on me
Took the trash out.
Now, the trash was nasty, and it is a leftover from my full blown squalor. I had filled up our trashcan on Monday last week, and they don't take it until Friday, so the trash had to stay in the house for quite a while and was gnatty despite being closed up. Terribly gnatty. It was disgusting. BUt I did it, I did it.
The last steps are to clean the guinea pig cage and vacuum the living room and I am totally done. Can I handle finishing a project, or will demand resistance kick in? We will find out shortly.
I finished the living room! That means the entire house is clean! The cage and the living room are clean and it took about 20 minutes.
And so ends our day of household cleaning! Next week I think I will split this up into two days, for less time.
More to come...
