Day 29: Deep Clean Small Appliances

Deep Clean Small AppliancesYour task for today is to deep clean all your small appliances – The stove, mixer, rice cooker, blender, toaster, and any other small appliance that you may have in you kitchen.

Don’t let the list of appliances that need cleaning overwhelm you. All you need is a few minutes to get your appliances looking as good as new, especially if you have been quick cleaning them daily/weekly.

If you don’t have the time to clean them all, just focus on the ones you use more often. Move on to the others if you have some extra time on your hands.

Now is also a good time to evaluate which appliances you really use and need, and which you can get rid of.

Important Note:

Keep in mind that the time it takes you to complete the tasks, and the order in which you do them, depends entirely on you. It depends on your skill, your working style, the time that you can afford to put in each day, the size of your rooms and your cleanliness standards.
So, whatever you do, don’t get overwhelmed and work at your own pace. It doesn’t matter if you take a bit longer to complete the challenge.
Do whatever works for you – skip certain tasks, add others. But, just clean something!
Also be sure to check the notes at the end, for some useful tips to help you stay on track and save time cleaning.

Tips to remember during the 30 Day House Cleaning Challenge

    1. Before you begin, gather all the necessary tools and keep them ready. You could get yourself a cleaning caddy or just use a basket or box.
    2. Decide on a specific amount of time that you can/will spend cleaning and set a timer. Work as quickly as you can within this time and don’t get distracted. (Except if it’s an emergency of some kind!)
    3. Start cleaning from the top of the room and work your way down. This will prevent dust falling on surfaces that you have already cleaned.
    4. Work from one side of the room to the other side, in a systematic matter, so that you don’t miss any spots.
    5. When the timer goes off, stop working! You can catch up with what you have missed during your next cleaning session.
    6. Use checklists to track your progress and to ensure that you don’t miss out anything. Checklists are especially useful in instances where you cannot complete a task and need to reschedule it.
