I’m happy to report my get up and go, got up and returned yesterday, and I spent most of the day putting the house back in its proper order. Three little days of neglect and the house came dangerously close to looking the way it did before I turned over my neat leaf.
And, yes the foundation of cleanliness and organization that I’ve been building did help make Saturday’s cleanup much easier than it could have been. I just peaked under the sink a few times to see all the soaps and cleaning products in their proper places to inspire myself.
And, as the final act of cleaning, just to put the icing on the cake, I hauled out the old carpet cleaner and shampooed the kitchen chairs.
They used to be a beautiful cream color, but over the years developed black splotches. I don’t even want to know what the splotches are. I just want to know that the carpet cleaner gets rid of them. The splotches, yes, but the chair seats themselves remain a much darker, dirtier color than the less-used backs. I’m planning to experiment with some bleach, just a touch, to see if they get brighter and return to something closer to their original color. I’ll report back once I’m done.
