Spring cleaning for sloths

[Maitri108]

I need to deep clean my place if anyone wants to join me. The thread will just consist of people saying what they intend to do and letting us know when it's done at a leisurely pace.

If you’ve never seen Remi Clogg on YouTube then I’d recommend watching some of her videos - she really motivates me to make a start.

I did a few bits yesterday but the one thing that REALLY needs doing is my windows. I don’t even know why I hate doing them so much 😂.

I'll check that out, thanks. I'm currently having some work done in the house so I'll start once that's finished.

I don't think I've ever cleaned my windows.

Can I join?

Hi joining in as am on mission to try and deep clean my grimy house! I really struggle to find time to do it, I can manage keeping on top of laundry, dishwasher, quick wipe of bathroom but the deep thorough cleaning just never gets done, I hate cleaning and am so unmotivated. Yesterday I wrote a list of all the kitchen jobs like wipe cupboard fronts, clean window etc and ticked off a few. Am going to try and do a few each day and in theory by next week I should have a clean kitchen. Did sink area, window, stove top and splashback. Took an hour! Today am so unmotivated though, but been to groomers with my dog, school run, laundry, it's not like I haven't been doing anything at all!

@Stuffocation Welcome aboard. My place is a state. I will start at some point soon and hopefully gather momentum. Hopefully we'll encourage each other.

I have started. I've just organised for a rug to be cleaned.

Oh me too, everywhere I look theres dust, all skirting, doors, picture rails, even walls need a dust/clean. light fittings, windows, cooker, it just feels too overwhelming. I try to keep on top of the bathrooms and tidying, but that's it.
I'm going to try and do an hour a day of dusting/cleaning.

My place is awful. I've had people over to do work and there are cobwebs everywhere.

I have no excuse of workmen, mines just a dust heap. My house is so dusty anyway, you dust one day and it's back the next, or so it seems like, but you have motivated me with this thread to get started......tomorrow 😄

It's a thread for sloths, take all the time you need.

can I join u all pls . I need to remove lots of cobwebs and my oven is in desperate need of a good clean I will tackle that tomorrow.

OK so this sloth has done a bit more this afternoon. Cleaned out cutlery and utensil drawers, how do so many crumbs get in there? Ugh. Cleaned all around airfryer. Dusted living room and shelves in kitchen. Am so bored. But I need to do it.

Yes please join. I forgot about my oven 🙄

Very good. I eyed up the fridge earlier. I might tackle it at some point.

My fridge isn't too bad but the oven is another story. Forgot to say I am decluttering ruthlessly as I go, am determined to make everything easier and really quick to clean (when I am feeling motivated and can be bothered!) Kitchen looks better already with less clutter.

Decluttering is miraculous. The effect it has on your mental health is amazing and it feels so good afterwards.

I just removed loads of cobwebs round the fireplace in living room. It was so grim. Feels better now it's done though. I hate oven cleaning. Have got one of those liners in the bottom which helps a bit but it still takes ages as I don't do it often enough. Breaking down tasks into smaller ones seems to help though as it can all feel so overwhelming.

Yes I am actually enjoying the decluttering bit, it is making such a difference, it's just the cleaning that I hate with a passion, I just don't have a natural affinity for it like lots of people

Any recommendations for cleaning the oven racks?

I love decluttering makes me feels so much beta. I’ve bin using those oven pride bags that u out the liquid in and put the racks inside and leave them to Soak

Put

I've just finished decluttering. I threw out seven bags of rubbish. I like it once it's done.

I'm giddy with excitement as I've cleaned some bathroom shelves and part of the fridge. I'm going to order something for the oven racks.
