Love random cleaning?!?
I have a random cleaning schedule. Really it's totally weird. But it's the only way I can get all of the things clean that I don't really want to do. And honestly I don't think about doing them either. Dishes, floors, bathrooms etc. I'm cleaning all of the time. But ceiling fans, kitchen cabinates, windows all of the things I use all of the time but don't think about cleaning can get very dirty with just a short span of time without cleaning. So how do I remedy this? I first praise The Lord for my wonderful mother for instilling this in me;) thanks mom! As for the doing a little picking up every room every day I have been doing well really well so far:) actually finishing laundry once I start it. No more living out of clean clothes baskets. For my random cleaning schedule I decided to set it up to go along with something I would always remember on a regular rotation that does not come around too often. What is that? My car insurance. It's the perfect thing to sync my randoms too. It's due every 3 months like clockwork and over the last 12.5 years of marriage I've not forgotten it. The things I do on the 3 mo rotation is windows and doors, clean all appliances (fridge, dishwasher, stove, microwave, toaster oven, washer and dryer, vacuum cleaner and carpet cleaner.) for those grossing out right now we don't use the microwave very often and the fridge gets a tidy up every Monday night. Why? Well bc Tuesday is trash day. I'm not big on making huge meals that we can eat on for days. When I cook dinner it's usually for just that night and we have a sandwich or something easy for lunches. The exceptions to that are lasagne and spaghetti of course;) so there isn't usually a ton to clean out. Very little in fact. I have a few things I put on the "clean the first day of the even months" schedule. Base boards are my biggest picky item on this list. I cannot stand for my base boards to be dusty. It truly does not bother me at someone else's house but in my own. It is not happening. Cleaning out and vacuuming the car is also on the even month schedule. Sweeping the porch and patio. That sort of thing. I had a sweet friend who thought I was crazy for my cleaning schedule but it gets the job done my way:) We work hard for our income and pay for the things and home that we have so I want to take care of it the best way I know how. My husband had asthma and bad allergies when we first got married and I am from a home that used natural cleaners for the most part so I've been using them from the beginning. His allergies have gotten much better and asthma is way better too! I'm from a shacklee home and we use basic H, vinegar and baking soda to clean. And a lot of it. And I just really like the smell of vinegar. It's not for everyone but I love it. Well I think that's all for today. Anyone else have a very random way of cleaning to get the job done?
