10 step plan for Fall Cleaning

This could also work for Spring Cleaning. Same approach in every room.

1. Take a laundry basket and collect all clutter.
2. Take down and wash light fixture glass. Clean ceiling fans. Dust light bulbs.
3. Remove all curtains, slipcovers, bedcoverings, doilies, or couch blankets. Wash them.
4. Remove items from shelves or cupboards, wipe shelves, return items (dusted if needed) and wipe down outside of shelf or cupboards, wipe inside and out of doors.
5. Thoroughly dust or wash or wipe all pictures frames and small items and furniture.
6. Wipe, dust or wash all window casings, windows, and walls, doors, light switch covers and mirrors.
7. If there are counters, sinks or appliances wash them.
8. Sweep, vacuum, and or mop all floors even under furniture.
9. Replace all removed and washed items.
10. Sort through your clutter basket and put everything away.

If you notice we work from the top of the room and go down. Ever vacuum and THEN dust a ceiling fan? You have to vacuum again. If you go through this process one room at a time, it isn’t overwhelming and doesn’t take so long. Almost any job is possible if broken down into bites. Hope this blesses you!

Spring or fall cleaning time is also a good time to touch up paint on trim or baseboards.

This list was my Tackle it Tuesday project for today, I had it in my head and had been meaning to write it down. Lots of the things I write for my daughters I post here too.
