Woo-Hoo!!!! Upper Level Bath is done and during the middle of the Week 19 "Project Cleanup". How I could not get into focus on this one is just beyond me, but I am happy to say it is finally done!! One thing I learned about this bath, which most of the kids use, is that I am already well aware that I have 5 sons in my mix of 8 kids, but this bathroom really proved it (more than I wanted to know!) Boys pee on everything...yuck!!!! I have always known this as I have to clean 4 bathrooms, but when you are doing the deep cleaning, you notice where else that pee goes....
Needless to say...it is done! Excuse the few Easter decor pieces that are still up. I usually keep decor up a few weeks past the holiday. Here is how I did it:
Going into the bathroom...wasn't sure if I really wanted to do this...
__ Open windows
__ Empty all cabinets Wash inside, replace items neatly. Fill cotton swab and cotton ball jars. Combine bath bombs into one container, discard empty containers.
__ Clean toilet, inside and out. Remove seat and clean around seat bolts.
__ Wash switch plates. Wash walls and trim. Wash doors and door knobs.
__ Wash floor registers and other vent covers.
__ Sweep and wash floors.
__ Reseal grout lines if necessary.
__ Wash toilet cover and rug, if applicable.
__ Scrub toddler potty chair, if applicable.
On the way out of the bathroom...
__ Touch up scratched wood on back of door with wood marker.
__ Clean "show" towels.
__ Scrub down the tub. Walls and bed.
__ Wash down shower supplies hanger and throw out any almost empty bottles of shampoo or body wash. Throw out small slivers of soap.
__ Replace body scrubbies.
__ Clean liner and shower curtain.
__ Open drain and clean out, replace drain cover.
This curtain was so gross! Since it is next to the toilet, my "boys" lovingly peed or let pee splash onto it. All washed and hung back up!
__ Remove curtain and wash, wipe down curtain rod, replace.
__ Wipe down each piece of the mini blind.
__ Wipe down all wood, sills.
__ Take out screen and clean.
__ Windex the window.
__ Remove any cobwebs from corners of inner window.
__ Remove all items in towel cabinet.
__ Examine towels and washcloths. Throw out any with holes.
__ Throw out old duplicate tooth brushes. Corral together in a cup.
__ Wash outside of cabinets and vanities.
__ Remove all items from inside of tub toy cabinet. Wash baskets. Clean all tub toys. Discard any that are bad.
__ Clean sink and drain.
__ Shine faucets and knobs.
__ Clean mirrors and frames.
__ Dust down wall decor and shelf.
__ Scrub trash can or purchase new one.
__ Add new bottles of hand soap per sink.
These specific light fixtures were terrible to clean! Frosted design makes it hard to see what is dirty. There are also little crevices that have to be cleaned out.
__ Clean and dust down light fixture.
Added my own items as well...
__ Replace toilet scrub brush.
__ Purchase fresh hand towels.
Onto this week, Week 19: Game Room!
See you soon!
