Challenge Day 8

Today is day 8 of the cleaning challenge.  I'm getting an early start to get it taken care of and out of the way!  Lets jump right in...

CLEAN:

Kids toy room, craft room, spare room or extra living room (one only) - Today’s task is a bit of a mix as I realise all our homes are different, some have a toy room for the kids, you maybe lucky enough to have a space dedicated to your hobby, a spare room or extra 2nd lounge room.  I’d like you to clean at least one of the above rooms.    
Today’s cleaning task is to do the following:
If your cleaning a spare bedroom, find cleaning list here.
If your cleaning a 2nd living area, find cleaning list here.
General room cleaning list:
  • Tidy area by placing all items where they belong
  • Empty bins
  • Dust/wipe over all surfaces
  • Clean window
  • Pick up items from the floor to make vacuuming easier
  • Clean skirting boards
  • Vacuum floor
DECLUTTER:

Kids toys

ORGANIZE:

Create a family responsibility system (My kids are too young for this, so we'll go ahead and skip that one.)

NEW HABIT:

Tidy a shelf or small space in your kids room each night before bed.  This helps keep the mess to a minimum.

JUST 5 MINUTES:

Clean up the main room in your home to keep your hard work from earlier going.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

For this challenge, the room I cleaned was my daughters room along with the open side of our living room.  Toys seem to creep between the two spaces, so I treated them as one mess.  Mostly, it was just a lot of picking up and sorting to put all the pieces of things back together.
