Don’t you just love a challenge?<\/span><\/p>\n

The new year always inspires me to challenge myself, but now I’m going to challenge you. What is my challenge exactly? I want you to complete this list of cleaning chores by the end of 30 days. Do one challenge each day and stick to it. At the end of the 30 days, your home will be sparkling clean. No more excuses! Let’s get started!<\/p>\n

\u2666 Day one: Grab all of the clothes in all of your closets and drawers. Place them in piles on the living room floor (the best way to do this is by owner of the clothing.) Now sort them into even smaller piles: to keep, to put in storage, to give to charity. Don’t stop until all of the clothes are sorted and put back away.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2666 Day two: Clean the baseboards. Start by using the brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner and vacuum off hair, dust, and dirt. Then, spray an all purpose cleaner on your baseboards and scrub them clean. Rub a dryer sheet over them for an extra finishing touch.<\/p>\n

\u2666 Day three: Clean the windows\/ window sills<\/p>\n

\u2666 Day four: Clean out the kitchen cupboards. Organize, determine what you need to give away or throw away. Empty them out and scrub with an all-purpose cleaner.<\/p>\n

\u2666 Day five: Clean out the refrigerator. Once everything is out and old things are tossed, give your fridge a really good scrubbing.<\/p>\n

\u2666 Day six: Clean your dressers. You’ve already sorted out your clothes, so all you need to do is just dust and clean out each drawer. Throw in a sachet of potpourri to give it that extra feeling of clean.<\/p>\n

\u2666 Day seven: Organize DVDs, CDs, books, and magazines<\/p>\n

\u2666 Day eight: Wash the walls with a bucket of hot water and a small amount of cleaning solution. (Check what type of paint is on the walls to prevent chipping or fading!)<\/p>\n

\u2666 Day nine: Wipe down every appliance. Again, make sure the cleaning solution you’re using won’t ruin the appliance. Remember to never wash the front of the TV!<\/p>\n

\u2666 Day ten: Sort through your bills\/ mail\/ papers. Do yourself a favor and register to take yourself off the junk mail list here: http:\/\/bit.ly\/qo9lzE . It will save you money, time, and space. Not to mention it’s a huge green initiative!<\/p>\n

\u2666 Day eleven: Sort through all of your kids’ toys.<\/p>\n

\u2666 Day twelve: Clean underneath the couches and between the cushions.<\/p>\n

\u2666 Day thirteen: Organize the bathroom cabinets and clean out with a warm rag and an all-purpose cleaning solution.<\/p>\n

\u2666 Day fourteen: Organize the pantry. Buy new clear containers for cereals, rices, beans, etc. Wipe down with an all-purpose cleaning solution.<\/p>\n

\u2666 Day fifteen: Clean bedroom closets. Vacuum, organize clothes by color, occasion, etc.<\/p>\n

\u2666 Day sixteen: Dust all the lamps in your home.<\/p>\n

\u2666 Day seventeen: Dust all the ceiling fans in your home.<\/p>\n

\u2666 Day eighteen: Clean the oven.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2666 Day nineteen: Clean the washer\/ dryer. <\/a><\/p>\n

\u2666 Day twenty: Clean the dishwasher.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2666 Day twenty-one: Schedule a carpet cleaning<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2666 Day twenty-two: Power wash the patio\/ front porch.<\/p>\n

\u2666 Day twenty-three: Wash all your bedroom\/ bathroom linens.<\/p>\n

\u2666 Day twenty-four: Dust picture frames.<\/p>\n

\u2666 Day twenty-five: Dust all your wooden furniture using a wood polish.<\/p>\n

\u2666 Day twenty-six: Take all of your rugs and beat the dust out of them outside.<\/p>\n

\u2666 Day twenty-seven: Wash your table cloth, fabric napkins, and any other linens that you may have missed before.<\/p>\n

\u2666 Day twenty-eight: Schedule an upholstery cleaning<\/a> for all your furniture.<\/p>\n

\u2666 Day twenty-nine: Organize your attic or basement. Again, set aside things that you want to keep, things you want to throw away, and items that need to be donated.<\/p>\n

\u2666 Day thirty: Donate any and all items that you’ve accrued to charity.<\/p>\n

There you have it. That’s my challenge. I’d love to see how all of you do on it. Let me know your progress!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
