Spring cleaning:
Rugs get steam cleaned- chairs, tables,etc. moved to clean under them
All other floors get steamed cleaned with my handy-dandy Swifter steam cleaner
Scatter rugs, all curtains, shower curtains, Winter blankets (get put away) get machine washed
My Summer nightclothes, summer clothes, housedresses, along with my son's Summer clothes, get washed (I don't like "closet smell")
Walls are washed down (and all those spidery webs on the ceilings are vacuumed- where are those spiders anyway? I don't ever see them)
Every nick-knack gets washed, along with pictures, mirrors that are hanging on the wall
Books get dusted- and the shelves get washed and polish
All furniture gets polished- kitchen table and chairs gets washed down to the legs
Venetian blinds get washed in the tub- windows and their sills are washed also
Kitchen and bathroom cabinets get washed down (as do any other free- standing cabinets)
All electronic equipment get thoroughly cleaned (phones, TVs, computers, printers, gaming thingys)
Stove, exhaust hood, refrigerator, microwave, convection oven, and toaster oven get thoroughly cleaned
Overhead fans and standing fans get washed
Bathrooms are Cloraxed cleaned
All doors- inside and out- are washed down
Washer/dryer get washed- along with the washroom shelves
All light fixtures ( globes are taken down and washed- how do those bugs get in them?) are cleaned
My chest freezer gets defrosted (there's always some ice that accumulates along the top edges) and washed- inside and out
All old magazines are given to the post office (they have a little area where people drop off books and magazines for others to enjoy)
The outside shed gets cleaned out and reorganized (I get lazy in the Fall and just "throw" everything haphazardly back in the shed)
The siding gets washed of all algae (the back of the house is in shade most of the day)
The decks get swept and washed down ( the front deck needs some painting)- along with any lawn furniture/pillows
I don't think I've forgotten anything???
-------------
I might clean what needs to be cleaned at other times during the year, but randomly as needed.
I still have my bathroom cabinets and my bathroom walls to do, the siding, outdoor things to finish.
Wanna help? :floorlaugh: (my son helps a lot since I've aged).
A lot of work, but a nice feeling of accomplishment (and a very fresh, clean new start to the Summer).
I try to get the Spring cleaning done before the heat gets here- I like to clean when all the windows are opened- the heat makes me sluggish and very lazy.
Well the door slammed on me.
What do Gus Fring (Giancarlo Esposito) and Mark Margolis (Hector Salamanca) have in common?
Thank you, thank you Harmony for the new thread !!!:seeya:
Am bringing this over as I was in the midst of posting this when the thread closed.
Well, you have been a busy lady YorN. I'm impressed. Oh, question, how do you go about washing your walls , because mine are sheet rock so I don't think I would want to actually use soap and water, not to mention my wood floors that might be damaged by the water. Idk, just asking. And also for your cabinets, what do you use to wash them with ? Do you actually use soap and water on them, or something else. I bought some wood cleaner, and am going to try it, but our cabinets are stained wood, not painted. I think that makes a difference. Anyway, just for my own future referenceTIA :seeya:
And I'm with you on the heat, it makes me sluggish as well, and we have a lot of humidity along with it. I could seriously not live without air conditioning , not in East Texas . I keep the AC anywhere from 73 to 75 during the day. Now at night, we like it cold, and my DH gets aggravated because he turns our AC to 67 at night but then I turn it down to 65 .... I tell him he can't complain until he starts having hot flashes too, then we'll see if he still feels the same way ... :floorlaugh:

Hi everyone ! :wave: My DH is out of town for a couple days, so I am settling in now to do one of my favorite things, watch a TCM classic movie.My movie pick tonight is "M" starring Peter Lorre. Has anyone here seen it ? It's about a child serial killer
. Just started it, but there are some little children in a courtyard, playing a game, it's apparently in Germany as they're speaking in German, but it's sort of like our "eeny meeny miny mo", game. Does anyone remember that one ?
Except this is a little different, in that it's very, very sinister. I would say much like JA's defense "games" they played at sidebar, in the courtroom, and beyond . :wink:
Anyway, the rhyme goes like this:
“Just you wait, it won’t be long,
The man in black will soon be here.
With his cleaver’s blade so true,
He’ll make mincemeat out of you!”
Creepy huh.... :scared:
IIRC Peter Lorre's daughter said she was approached by Kenneth Bianchi and his cousin Angelo Buono, the Hillside Stranglers.
What no room for Rory Calhoun and Motel Hell?

I never realized what a good looking man he was.

When I was little, Rory Calhoun was one of my "crushes", lol. After Clint Eastwood who played Rowdy Yates in Rawhide. Yet now, I can't remember what it was that I saw Rory Calhoun in way, way back then. Any clues ?
I think he's face similar. Like Rock Hudson, and James Garner. Dark hair, nice smile, but kinda generic good looking?
Oh, I got it, it was that old western, "The Texan" . Back when I was small, westerns, e.g. Rawhide; and cartoons , e.g., Bugs Bunny and Yogi Bear mostly, is about all we watched. Oh, and Captain Kangaroo, Mr. Peppermint, and Jack LaLaine.
And dare I forget the Three Stooges, Larry, Curly and Moe. I just love them. :floorlaugh: :floorlaugh: :floorlaugh:
