Housework blitz

I have the rest of the day to do as much housework as humanly possible (untidiness and general household dust/dirt, not horrendous)

If it were you, why approach would you take / what would you prioritise?

Bathrooms and downstairs I think.

Which do you think are the worst areas?

Get laundry going in the background. Washing up & kitchen surface first.

Floors and surfaces.

@Justkeeppedaling upstairs is messiest, downstairs needs the most cleaning.
I keep on top of the family’s washing so everything is clean, but none of it is put away. So I think that’s first one my list!

Clear all the surfaces, put everything AWAY. That will give you a good blank surface to start from in terms of working out what to do next, housework wise.

Definitely put the washing away! It makes such a difference when that’s done. I currently have a whole sofa covered in clean washing and the top of a blanket box upstairs too.

I used to start at the top and work down . Strip each bed and start the washing machine . Make the beds with clean bedding. Collect all clothes from floor and Chuck into basket . Take any dishes , cups etc from each room and put on landing . Tidy each room and damp dust furniture . Brush and mop floors . Clean bathroom. Take dirty laundry and dirty crockery down to kitchen .
Do as above to living room , dining room, hall and stairs etc until you are just left with kitchen to do. Put first load of laundry into tumble drier and put next Machine full on . Put dishwasher on . Wipe down all surfaces . Mop the floor.
Sit down and have a cup of tea. Spend the rest of the day doing lots more laundry Grin
