More Deep Cleaning

Last week, we deep cleaned another room in our house! Our task on this day was the living room. Thankfully, it was much easier than the kitchen. Here are some photos and “job descriptions” of our deep clean:


Josiah helped by cleaning all of the baseboards and vacuuming the couches, inside and out. He did a great job!
Rubia helped deep-vacuum the living room. She moved out end tables, couches, and make-shift bookshelves to vacuum under them. She also changed out the dog’s bed and cleaned off all the fur. She and Mommy wiped down walls, especially behind the furniture.
Josiah and Mommy worked on organizing his toy bin and cleaning out all the dust and dirt. Mommy also vacuumed the window screens, and boy, do they look a whole lot better!
Roma helped out with the deep-vacuuming, which included cleaning the lampshades.
Benjamin wiped down doors, dusted our fireplace and ivy border thoroughly, cleaned a kitchen light fixture left over from last time, and set a date to shampoo the carpet.
And I washed the windows, inside and out. You would not believe how much dirt gets trapped in between the screens and the glass! It took a lot of elbow grease, but there was a noticeable difference!
Two rooms down and plenty more to go! Which room will be next? Oh, the suspense! J

I thought I heard singing....."Hi Ho, Hi Ho, it's off to work we go :-)
Summer is a great time for extra projects. We do wait until winter to do our windows. It is so hot that the cleaner dries before you have a chance to wipe. Plus, evertime someone does a cannon ball in the pool the lania windows get splashed.

Wow, it must be really hot for your window cleaner to dry before you have a chance to wipe, Aunt Debbie! Right now our temperatures aren't that different from yours. I think it's around 90 degrees! We will probably be doing indoor projects with the air conditioning on today. :-)
