Cleaning

We had a 'pre-white glove clean check' this morning, so yesterday we were cleaning like CRAZY. I wiped down all the baseboards, magic erased all the spots I could find on all the walls and doors, mopped, vaccuumed, and scrubbed our bathroom floor, vacuumed and scrubbed the kitchen floor, cleaned up my room, vacuumed my room and the hall, cleaned the entire interior bathroom (toilet inside and out, tub, walls, etc) and picked up the bath mats to be washed, folded my towels, wiped down the fridges, dishwasher, oven, and cabinets, vacuumed the pantry, washed the stove burner bowls and helped wrap them in new foil, got all the tape and junk off of the inside and outside of the front door, and organized the storage closet. When I opened the storage closet, it was full from the front to the back and all the way to the ceiling, just this teetering pile of boxes and suitcases and tubs, with a 5' TV box on top threatening to smack you in the face. I took everything out, and put everything back in so that we people who are moving out in a week have our things at the front for easy removal. There's the same amount of stuff in there now as there was when I opened it, except now it's only taking up about 1/3 of the closet. Success :) For the REAL white glove check (possibly Saturday), we additionally have to wipe down all the blinds and windowsills, redo the bathroom baseboards, scrub the tub even harder (it's white and there are no marks- what do they want?), lift up the stove surface and clean under there, clean the inside of the oven, sweep out the corners of the hall carpeting and vacuum that (which entails buying a broom...), clean the inside ceiling of the microwave (someone tried and failed), clean the light fixtures, and clean the tracks (for lack of a better word) of the suctiony seal thing that keeps the fridge door shut. Wish us luck!

  1. I hope someone else was cleaning and it wasn't just you! Sounds pretty thorough to me.

  2. Kendra cleaned the rest of the kitchen, and the bathroom counter area. Mel had the flu but she vacuumed the living room.
