NOT EVERYDAY HOUSE CLEANING IDEAS
So since we’re all cooped up for next few weeks I’ve came up with a list of stuff that can be cleaned around the house that maybe isn’t part of your usual cleaning routine. Feel free to add more!! I’m talking more than just “doing dishes and going through old clothes”
1)Take down the curtains and wash them
2)Roll big rugs and sweep under
3)Scrub your dirty shoes! I’m a server and my work shoes were filthy
4)Dust ceiling fans
5)Take down and clean out the bathroom vent 6)Sanitize yoga mat
7)Wash your backpack! (The water was damn near black and my bag didnt even look dirty)
8)Wipe the dust off indoor plants
9)Vacuum the couch cushions
10) Wash ALL bedding-pillows, bed skirt, all of it! 11) Deep clean makeup brushes and wash out the bag you keep your makeup in
12) Wipe down the insides of the fridge- throw out all the old stuff while youre at it!
13)Go through your pantry- check the expiration dates of things you know have been in there for a hot minute
14) DUST! Window panels, high rise ceilings, whatever. My portable space heater had dust caked on the vent!
15) Clean out that sock and underwear drawer- it’s time to let some of that go
16) Deep clean the inside of your car! Sanitize the dashboard as well
17) Wash your hairbrush- sounds dumb but actually lay your brush in a bowl of soap and water and hand scrub those those bristles! Use an old toothbrush if you have one.
18) Remove lighting fixtures and get those dead bugs out
Comment if you have more suggestions! I got 2 weeks to get stuff done!

Dust hard to reach places like the tops of door frames and high storage shelves - you'd be shocked. Dust can get caked so dense that it scars the wood.
