Clean House - Day 8

I haven't forgotten about this! Yesterday I did a second day in the basement and made good progress but today we are back upstairs and in the Living Room! A big relief for me since I don't think I could take another day with allergies running rampant :) On the weekend we will do the attic so that's why we are skipping a couple of days in the order (technically the weekend is days 6 & 7)

8. Living Room

• Make a sweep of the living room with a bag or basket to hold items that go elsewhere.
  
• Straighten items on mantel, coffee and end tables.
  
• Vacuum, dry-mop or sweep floor.
  
• Spot-clean dirty surfaces and dust the rest.
  
• Wipe mirrors and TV screen with damp paper towel.
  
• Straighten or flip cushions and fluff pillows.
• Trouble spot:
  Use a dry sponge or vacuum on low suction with dust-brush attachment to clean lampshades.

and our every day stuff:

• Make beds.
• Sweep floors.
• Clean kitchen tables and countertops.
• Load/unload dishwasher.
• Tidy up living areas.
• Sort mail; toss junk.
