Bedrooms and Bathrooms Hot Cleaning Spots
She looketh well to the ways of her
household and eateth not the bread of idleness. Proverbs 31:27
A few areas that we tend to overlook can be tackled this week. Remember the Master Bedroom is the quiet sanctuary for you and your husband. Make it a pleasant and uncluttered room. It's a good idea to establish ground rules for the children, such as: do not enter without permissions, knock before entering, what you bring in with you leaves with you, don't borrow anything without permission (especially for teenagers:), and return what was borrowed.
Monday: Beds
- Flip/rotate mattress.
- Spray mattress and pillows with sanitizing spray.
- Clean out from under the bed.
- When changing bed linens this week, try a new look with a different comforter or bedspread and pillows.
Tuesday: Cosmetics
- Throw away old cosmetics that have not been used in a long time or are outdated.
- Soak brushes and combs in a sanitizing solution.
- Wipe off/clean cosmetics cases from all of those smudges.
- Organize, use a special drawer or basket.
- Clean top of tank, sides and the base.
- Clean toilet lid and seat, again a toothbrush is handy for those hinges.
- Clean inside of toilet, extra thorough, use a toothbrush for under the rim if necessary.
- Take everything out and clean.
- Throw away empty or outdated items (old shampoos, hairsprays, lotions etc..).
- Wipe down items.
- Place the items back in an organized manner, grouped by function, least used to the back, most used toward front.
Friday: Scales
- Dust off those bathroom scales and check their accuracy, replace batteries if needed.
