I forgot to do an update post for yesterday’s task! Basically imagine a picture of me wiping the light switches and door handles.
This morning, we did a quick mini road trip to visit some friends and to pick up my birthday freebie from Sephora so this afternoon was dedicated to light cleaning! I did all the lights and ceiling fans except for the one over our dining room table. That’s because we will be replacing that light with a new ceiling fan over the weekend! I can’t wait to be rid of the current light fixture! (I’ll try selling it in a local Facebook buy & sell group.)
Here is the picture evidence that I did do today’s task:
And the very dirty cloth after I cleaned the ceiling fans:

Task 10
- Clean all ceiling fans and light fixtures. Replace any burnt out bulbs.
I can tell this task is going to be one of those satisfying ones for me. I really enjoy things where I can see results right away!
As I go along, I’ll be purging items that I see we don’t need or use anymore. I’ll either put them in a donation box or try selling them on a local Facebook Buy & Sell site.

Task 9
- Clean door handles and light switches. Take a damp cloth or a disinfectant wipe and quickly wipe around all the switches and handles.
I’ve got this one today! I’m sure I’ll have it done in less than 1/2 hour! I may even enlist Sienna’s help. She loves to clean 🙂

Here’s my eighth Spring Cleaning update!
Today I managed to wash all the curtains and vacuum the bamboo blinds in our bedroom. I also washed the windows inside and out. It really helps that we have a small home with only a few windows and doors! My husband even washed the blinds in Sienna’s room in the bathtub and raised the curtain rod in the kitchen for me!
The only thing I didn’t get to were the blind in the kitchen. I have to do those by hand 🙁 and ran out of time.
For the sake of keeping it real, I share with you photo evidence of my poor housekeeping skills.
That is a picture of the dust web I found behind the living room curtains. I haven’t washed/cleaned there since the curtains went up over 5 years ago. I’m so embarrassed! (at least it’s clean now!)
How did you do today? Did you find any dust bunnies? Let us know in the comments!

Task 8
- Clean blinds/curtains. Throw your fabric curtains in the wash. Dust, wash or vacuum the blinds. Wash the windows inside. (Outside too if you’re feeling ambitious.)
As I go along, I’ll be purging items that I see we don’t need or use anymore. I’ll either put them in a donation box or try selling them on a local Facebook Buy & Sell site.

Well, I sort of knew today wouldn’t be one of my better days for accomplishing my spring cleaning task. We had a doctor checkup and a few other interruptions in our day that didn’t let me get to any furniture moving until late afternoon. I did manage to clean under quite a few furniture/appliance items including under our stove.
I’m pretty sure it wasn’t that long ago that I cleaned under it, yet it was full of dust bunnies and a piece of broken glass!
My camera was being funny today and Jesse had the cell phone as he was at the park with Sienna so I only have that one lone picture. But, I did vacuum under the dressers in our bedroom, the TV stand, the computer desk, the fridge, stove and another cabinet. I didn’t get to the BIG cabinets or the washing machine and dryer since my husband wasn’t around to help.
