clean my home

I made a very detailed duty list. For instance, I wrote down each room and sectioned every part, like for the kitchen, Clean the fridge, Clean the outside of fridge (top and sides, doors) Wipe down fridge side baseboards, and wall..etc..

I think I have 5 pages total for my apartment but most everything doesn’t take long and whoever does a task can cross it out. Like with the fridge, one of us can just clean the top and cross it off..Some things take a minute, some take a lot longer but it’s being caught up and from then on it can just be wiped down or whatever and not so much work.

Anyway, so far it’s working out really good! This way it’s not so overwhelming and the house is really starting to look great! It wasn’t horrible before, but it needed detailing really bad.

I wish I had Excel on my computer so I can print it up and check it off so we can reuse it. I’m gonna have to look into that :)

Two cats and a boyfriend..I’m always behind on housecleaning. He helps a little. Very little. Mostly he’ll wash the dishes so I can come home to dirty them up again when I cook dinner. I’m tired when I get off from work and on my days off I just want to chill. I need to pick an area every day that I don’t work and clean it.

I doubt it will take me a month to clean my 820 sq. foot condo, but when I say “clean” I want it to be VERY clean. This goal will be acommplished when:

My cluttered desk is cleared,
The never-ending pile of papers beside the desk has been sorted and filed
The kitchen, including the drawers, cabinets and appliances (inside and out), is clean,
And everything is swept, mopped, dusted, polished and tidy.

I’d also like my sofa to be steam cleaned if I can come up with the money to pay for that.

I don’t even know where to start, it’s so overwhelming.

I got a wild hair last night and dove into my kitchen. I rearranged a few things so I have more counter space for working. I’m only halfway done with the whole thing, but for once I can see the progress I’ve made!

I’m cleaning today, but it never seems to be enough. And it never stays that way long.

My goal is to do this by the beginning of March so I may throw a dinner party for friends.

I got my place reasonably straightened out for the BBQ. I managed to get it even cleaner for a visit from my parents. Now I’m focusing on cleaning a lifetime’s accumulation of clutter. I’m going to take it one box at a time so that it doesn’t seem so overwhelming. With some effort, I should have a reorganized life in a few weeks!

It looks much better now. My possessions are organized fairly well and I’m seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.

I have friends coming over for a barbecue in 1 week. It would be pretty embarassing if my place was a disaster. Time to get to it!
