Fall Cleaning Challenge Week 4: Catch Up!

How is the fall cleaning challenge going in your house? If you haven’t quite kept up with the pace – of if you’ve just joined us – this post is for you! We’re visiting family in Florida this week (where it’s gorgeous and sunny – don’t hate me) so, since I won’t be home to do much cleaning, I figured it would be the perfect opportunity to hit “pause” and give everyone a chance to catch up.

So if you’ve fallen behind – or never got started to begin with! – here’s your opportunity to look at the first three “zones” and dive in: 

Zone 1: Up High

• Clean all ceiling light fixtures and fan blades
• Wipe down the tops of door frames, window frames and high windowsills
• Dust tops of high furniture and artwork/framed photos
• Vacuum cobwebs in ceiling corners
• Dust blinds 

If you missed it, find out my favorite gentle household cleaners in this post.

Zone 2: Middle Spaces

• Clean windows
• Vacuum window wells and cleaning sills 
• Dust furniture, TVs, lamps, electronics, and book shelves
• Wipe down dirty spots on walls and door frames

For a detailed list of supplies for Zone 2, be sure to click through to the post.

Zone 3: Down Low

• Vacuum carpets
• Steam clean high traffic carpet areas
• Mop wood or laminate flooring and bathrooms
• Steam mop kitchen floors

Be sure to click through to the Zone 3 post for my favorite floor cleaning products.

I’ll be back next week with Zone 4 and a wrap-up!
