Days 9 & 10-Spring clean your bedrooms


Days 9 & 10 : Bedrooms-Do this to all of them.

Take down any cobwebs-use a Webster or a broom with a rag on the end. Wash or dust light fixtures. Wash down walls-wipe outlets & light switches and baseboards. 10 minutes

Clean the blinds, wash curtains, wash windows, clean out window tracks and sills 10-30 minutes.

Dust & wipe down furniture (pull out and dust shelves and books of bookshelves) pull out drawers and clean the drawer rollers, go through drawers and take out stuff that doesn’t fit or you don’t like and fold and put away neatly.  Move all furniture and vacuum and steam clean under it (take the crevice tool of your vacuum and run it along the edge of the baseboards, wipe down baseboards.30-60 minutes

Declutter rest of the room besides the closet (shelves, nighttables, etc).  Then attack the closet, go through and take out anything that doesn’t fit (try it on), you don’t love, etc.  make a list of pieces you need to keep an eye out for. Clean that shelf above the clothing, wipe down & dust the closet, declutter everything else you store in your closet. Go through your shoes, belts, accessories, etc.  Everything else turn around  the hanger of. When you wear it, turn the hangers back around. Anything still backwards after a year, donate. 40-100 minutes.

In the kids’ room, see what you have of the next size and if they need to switch over to the next biggest size do it now. If they have some time, note what they have and what you need to keep a look out for on sale or at garage sales or online.  25-50 minutes

Declutter anything hiding under the bed.  Flip the mattress, change the sheets, wash the pillows and throw them in the dryer with a tennis ball or if they are flat, get new ones. 10-30 minutes.

Vacuum the rest of carpet and steam clean or schedule steam cleaning for it. 10-30 minutes.
