Housecleaning

Goal per member: 10 Minutes

Clean Clutter. My downfall is cleaning my house when both my husband and I are the same.  Everything is cluttered, dusty because there's so much to dust, rugs that need to be vacuumed & shampooed, but there's so much furniture in the way and having a dog things get back to the same state within a week.  The walls need to be tsp'ed (trisodiumphosphate) because we were both smokers and there is grime.  I resent that the housework falls all on me and therefore it doesn't get done!  So take 20 minutes and clean one counter off by sorting by need, undecided, trash, and then file the important things like paid bills and unpaid bills, stack the undecided, throw away the trash.  Do this every day until you can see your desk or countertop or table or floor or whatever flat area once was that can be again!  (PS:  this is more a challenge for myself than it is for anyone else, but I'd love the company...you know misery loves company)  But I did get some wonderful advice for changing it into something positive...is to let your mind wander to things you need to work on or tell yourself how wonderful you will feel seeing an uncluttered home or change that negative feeling into a positive and see the results of your life)

Working hard between the kitchen and the foyer.
EdenscapesEdenscapesI just can't stop
I thought I was done for the day on cleaning, but I was looking at the kitchen chairs.  Thank God they are vinyl looking leather.  I scrubbed those babies from top to bottom.  We don't have a fan in our kitchen, except the one we rigged for the kitchen window to blow all the smoke out the window.  Anyhow, the grime is all over everything and I spotted the chairs and it took me another 45 mins. just to scrub those down.  Looking Good!  WooHoo!  I'm on a roll.  Better slow down for awhile though, don't want to hurt my body again.
EdenscapesEdenscapesCome to my house!

EdenscapesEdenscapesTSP
TSP is a cleaning agent.  I think it stands for TriSodiumPhosphate.  That is a major job for taking everything off the walls and protecting the rugs.  Baby steps first, I need to work on decluttering to bring peace of mind.
martind43martind43Keep me on my toes

Just got in with an hour to spare.

I did a massive declutter a number of weeks ago, But I've been slipping a bit, not as bad as it was before the declutter, but this will keep me on my toes.

I'll be posting in minutes, I'm sure that is what it says above, Confused got me confused for a minute, but its minutes for me, I do the checklist 10, but not enough time.

eiamrweiamrwConfused

Edenscapes, sorry I am a bit confused. You measure in days but what does that mean exactly? Does that mean you spent the day cleaning or does it mean that on that day you spent some time cleaning.

 

Rather than measuring in days it might be easier if you decide to measure in minutes or times cleaned

 

Also it seems you need or want to do more than only cleaning you also want to tsp the walls (whatever tsp stands for) Smile
