15 Minute Tasks for the Week
This week we'll work on disinfecting the living room.
Monday
Take down and wash curtains and other linens.
Tuesday
Clean the ceiling fan and knock down any cobwebs from the ceiling.
*Helpful tips for cleaning ceiling fans*
- Use an old pillowcase to clean the fan blades. Just slip it over the blade, grip it tightly, and slide it back off of the blade. The dust will be contained inside the pillowcase instead of floating around in the air.
- Clean the rest of the fan with a swiffer duster or a damp rag.
- Keep a spray bottle of water handy, and spray the air around the fan as you dust. The mist will help the dust particles fall to the floor instead of floating around in your face and making you sneeze. (I tried this for the first time this week, and was amazed that I had no problems with sneezing, itchy eyes, sore throat, etc. like I almost always do when I’m around dust.)
Wednesday
Mist walls with a non-toxic disinfectant. Scrub any smudges, crayon drawings, etc. off with a rag.
Thursday
Move furniture out from the wall. Dust the baseboards and spray with disinfectant. Vacuum the entire floor, including underneath of the furniture. If you have a wood floor, sweep and spray the entire floor with disinfectant.
Friday
Spray all furniture with a non-toxic disinfectant and wipe down with a rag.
Saturday
Remove any items that do not belong there. Place them in the correct places in the house, throw away trash, and get rid of things you no longer use.
