My little corner in the world

Firstly an apology - I did post right at the beginning of the month - but it landed in my journal rather than in the comm - oops! So here's a repeat of that post - feel free to pick up with either week 1 or week 2 as fits for you:

Happy May to Everyone!

May's theme moves on to the idea of Deep Cleaning parts of our home. It's an opportunity to really concentrate in on getting in and making a difference while doing a serious clean of areas in your home. Depending on your particular position in regard to your space on how you tackle this and what you might want to take it to mean.

My thoughts are that this could be an opportunity to pick up those tasks that we don't need to do so often - like windows and carpets but I know that in certain areas of the house, intending to clean the carpet for me is a step ahead of where I am so rather than cleaning the carpet what I really need to do is get rid of the extraneous clutter and really clear the carpet space so that cleaning it becomes an option later.

So interpret this how best suits you - if it best suits to work towards creating the environment where a specific type of clean becomes possible, that's good too.

Week one's focus is on windows and doors. So it might mean clean windows either inside or out (or both if you have time and energy and ability to do so) or it might mean clearing/cleaning the space near the window so that later you have the option to work on the window. It might mean giving a door a good clean to rid it of dust that's accumulated and sticky fingerprints or just making sure that you've got rid of those germs that build up on handles.

Monthly plan
Week 1. Windows and Doors
Week 2. Carpets/Floors (this can be giving an area a thorough vaccuum/brush/wash as needed or clearing more of the floor that later this because an option)
Week 3. Bathroom - take a bit of extra time to clean the grout between tiles, deep clean the sink/bath
Week 4. Curtains or revisit - speaking personally despite all the other issues I have with keeping my space organised and as clean as I want, I do like to try and wash the curtains once a year to reduce dust and allergens - when I do this somewhat depends on time and weather - trying to get the curtains washed and dried in a day so that I can get them back in the windows in time can be a struggle. So I shall put it here as an option because even if I got just one set done I'd be pleased but if the weather isn't in my favour then it's a good chance to carry on tackling one of the earlier areas as I'm sure I won't have finished them all.

We'd love to hear how your work on this week's 'Windows and doors' challenge progressed. Remember even a 10 -15 minutes stint could have the inside of a window clean or a door wiped down properly. Have a great week.
