Cleaning Rush!

Today, let's try something a little different.  No Everyday Cleaning Concept.  Throw your cleaning plans to the wind.  Forget the dishes, the laundry and the dusting.  Forget major projects and yard work.  Forget any type of task that would require more than ten minutes to complete.

Today, let's power clean.

Fill a bucket with water and a capful of ammonia.  Grab a clean washrag.  Tackle everything you have not cleaned for a long time:
  • shower curtain rod
  • tops of all your doors
  • chair rails
  • air duct vents or baseboard heaters
  • thermostat
  • smoke detectors
  • refrigerator door handle
  • laundry basket
  • window sills
Just rush through the house cleaning anything that catches your eye with your washrag and ammonia water.  No plans, no structure, no dwelling.  Just do it.

It should take you between fifteen and twenty minutes.  If you are overtaken by a sudden urge to keep going, then by all means, clean away!

By occasionally power cleaning your home, you will feel accomplished, your home will feel clean on a whole new level, and you will have the opportunity to clean all those small objects you have never thought to clean before.

Since it will only take fifteen minutes, you have no excuse not to.  So, get your ammonia water and washrag and power clean through your home today.

Ready, set, go!
