The Apt

One thing nicer about the apt then my house is, it takes about to secs. to do each task....lol, I have one more bathroom to clean at the apt. but that still doesn't take long.

Usually I get up and do things in this order:

Make My Bed
Clean Kitty Litter
Swept Floors
Wipe Down Sinks and Counters
Straighten up a bit

Dust and vacuum once a week

Now home, there is about 1500 more sq foot to do, so it takes alot longer and more crap laying around...lol

I love this one

Not Much

Today's cleaning was just picking up, after not doing it this week and what a mess there was. Dishes, blankets, pop cans, trash. I don't understand the pigs that live here. But any ways I picked it all up. Swept the stairs and bathroom. Unloaded the dishwasher and loaded it back up and is running now. Washed the counters, stove, stove top, faucet, behind faucet, sinks, so all is nice and clean now. That will be it for today, I'm in no mood to do more.

What was done

Even though I didn't feel that great today, I still tried to do some cleaning since no one else ever does it....lol So this is what I managed to get done today.

I unloaded the dishwasher, loaded it back up. Cleaned the counters and stove, wiped down the faucet area and behind it.
I finally finished dusting the living room.
Washed some glass items and glass table tops in the living room
Deep cleaned the bathroom
Swept the bathroom and stairs
Washed the stairs
Put items away that was laying around the family room
Took care of shoes and coats

Nicole did finally vacuum my whole downstairs today.

That was it, then it was off to crochet.

Happy Cleaning

Time to Go

I discovered today while dusting that I just have to much stuff laying out. To much to dust and with all my cats I have, there is just to much hair that flies around. I try to keep up with the cat hair, that is when ever someone decides to vacuum for me. But the more you have out, the more you have to dust and the longer it is going to take. So, I think I'm going to put half of it away and then next month rotate my stuff. I now have the family room, kitchen, bathroom, living room deep dust cleaning done. Now it is time for the upstairs. But I will not start that until I get some stuff boxed away for next months rotating visit.
I'm really getting bad about sticking with a project that I start. I'm going to have to keep pushing on and make myself finish before starting something else.

Dusting

Today was a day of just dusting. It seems to need it more then once a week. I have several cats in my house and the hair seems to get on everything. But since I got most of the house picked up over the weekend, dusting is what is left. I did do the normal picking up today. I haven't finished the whole house yet, but that is what I'll be working on this week. Along with the other normal things that need up keeping.

Fast Note

Just a fast note on all that I cleaned today.

1. Loaded dishwasher and ran a load
2. Cleaned the counters, stove and sink
3. Did 3 loads of laundry, folded and put away
4. Washed walls going up the stairs and down the hall
5. Swept stairs and bathroom floor
6. Picked up living room and family room

Can't remember if there was something else, but I think that is enough for a Saturday

Today was a good cleaning day

I did really good at cleaning in the kitchen today. I got several more cabinets cleaned out and washed. Plus, I did under the sink. I just don't feel like typing out step by step today.

So this is what it looks like before and after. Now mind you it is gross, I have pigs that spill and don't clean anything up, so over time it has added up. This cabinet is under my stove. I never realized it was that bad....lol I need a new bottom board under the sink, so I couldn't really wash it, so I just cleaned it out and put some paper towels down till this summer.

Happy Cleaning

UGH, its the kitchen, gross!

Today was cleaning the kitchen day. I have this old paper that was lined on the board in my cabinet bottom half. So today I removed paper from 2 cabinets. Cleaned all the wood. Looks like it will need some painting this summer. So, while sitting on the floor I thought, why stop there. Since I'm down here, why not clean the outside of the cabinet doors at the same time. So, I didn't get as far as I wanted with the inside cabinets. So here is the check off list:

1. Removed dishes and paper
2. Cleaned inside 2 cabinets
3. Put dishes back in
4. Washed all bottom cabinets outside doors in the kitchen
5. Washed outside of Microwave
6. Washed outside of Dishwasher
7. Washed outside of Refrigerator
8. Washed outside of Oven

9. Washed 2 loads of laundry
10. Folded and put clothes away

Then decided I had enough, time to go take some winter pictures while it was snowing...lol
So, I get all cleaned up and wouldn't you know it, it stopped snowing...lol

But while cleaning yesterday, I came across two items that I had forgotten about in a box upstairs. Pictures are my decorating site. Go take a look.

This Weeks Challenge

This weeks challenge with my friend Deana is cleaning the kitchen from top to bottom. My cabinets are in big time need since no one seems to put things in the right places. Refrigerate needs a good cleaning. Doing these challenges with Deana helps keep my house in line. So for that I'm thankful. As usual, I'll post as the week goes on.
