Warning: Sarcasm is afoot.
Fall is on it's way and I am eagerly beckoning it to come in. With more time spent indoors, it's time to get down to the nitty gritty. Here is a list of a few easy to miss places, that you'll want to freshen up... dun dun dun
1. Trash can. They are super gross, like always. If you open the lid and there's no trash inside, yet the smell is breathtaking, and not the good kind, it's time. Scrub that thing out. Take it to a car wash if you must. Add a few drop of peppermint in the bottom and on the underside of the lid and you'll be ready to show off that can to all your guests.
2. Mirrors. I'm not sure what it is about a sparkly mirror and kids, but they find a way to speckle that thing up the instant you've finished. Sooo, you're gonna have to distract the kids with snacks to make this one happen. Then, with ninja like skills, splash a bit of vinegar on the mirror and give it a quick wipe. 5 minutes of a clean mirror is better than none. Am I right?
3. Vacuum. It's sole purpose is to pick up dirt, so ya, it's dir-tay. Take your vacuum apart and wash the plastic pieces and filters, or replace filters. That vacuum is gonna suck way more than before.
4. Cupboards. You could probably feed your family for a day, on the crumbs alone. Yup, day four, we are gonna wipe those things out. Pull everything out, take that freshly cleaned vacuum of yours and make the crumbs disappear. The mice ain't gonna be happy, but you will be!
5. Oven. You know the cherry pie that boiled over last Thanksgiving and is now burned to the bottom of your oven? Ya, now is the time to take care of that. Give yourself the the gift of a clean oven for a short, before the next pie fiasco.
6. Bathroom sink. Not the actual sink, but the unders. Who knows what's down there? Simply take a trash bag, empty contents in bag, and get rid of it...like, House-warming gift for the new neighbors.
7. Switches and knobs. Try not to think of how many people, with unwashed hands, have left their filth behind. Now you're gagging, me too. Probably will need cleaning gloves, and a respirator, but it must be done.
Tackle one of these a day and in a week you'll feel a little safer in your home.
