Hobbit-ish Spring Cleaning 2010

So this is what we are going to be doing this winter/spring... Lot's to keep us busy. My goal is to have the whole list finished by the time we go on vacation in May. It will be a stretch, especially with the painting on the list, but I think we can do it.

  • Go through closets and dressers (including boxes in master closet)
  • Clean & Organize linen closet and entry way
  • Clean & Organize spare room
  • Clean & Organize storage room
  • Clean oven
  • Clean & organize kitchen cupboards
  • Purge books
  • Clean fridge (inside & out)
  • Clean top of kitchen cupboards
  • Clean & organize medicine cabinet and bathroom cupboard
  • Wash windows in living room, kitchen, and bedroom
  • Wash walls in bedroom, bathroom, living room, and kitchen
  • Clean behind fridge and stove
  • Clean Laundry room
  • Clean carpets
  • Vacuum couch and chair
  • Clean baseboards
  • Fix the faux finish in the living room
  • Touch up paint in bedroom and living room
  • Paint bathroom

And for those who asked, my housekeeping schedule that we are trying out is:

  • Monday - Living room
  • Tuesday - Kitchen
  • Wednesday - Bedroom
  • Thursday - Bathroom
  • Sunday - Laundry

  3. You've just reminded me that our house does indeed have baseboards. And that they need to be cleaned...

    What a helpful list! And congratulations on your Iron Commentating. Truly admirable!

  6. I should make a list like this. I sometimes try to do the Fly Lady method of cleaning. We did a lot of cleaning over the past few days and it makes you feel happy when your house is in order. :-)

Hobbits are social creatures, and love hearing from friends old and new. Pull up a comfy chair and let's get to know one another.
