I am participating in the 31 Days to Clean Challenge by Sara Mae at an ultra slow snail pace because I can and because that is about as good as it gets from me right now. First things first is to create a mission statement as to why I want a clean home. Make it specific, find a place to write it down, and then frame it. A personal note to self- don't over think it!
Mary Challenge:
~WHY CLEAN?~
A clean house reflects God
It reflects His order, His love, His protection
God is a God of peace
A peaceful house is one
where we can find things without confusion
God is a God of love
A loving house is one
where we can feel hospitable without apology
God is a shield and hedge around us
A safe house is one
where we do not fear (as best we can)
germs, tripping over toys, and unpleasant
odors and accidents that can occur
in a house that is not
CLEAN
Martha Challenge: Make a list of all the supplies needed to complete the challenges in the future.
-Baking Soda (usually on hand)
-Bucket (check)
-Sponges
-Pledge
-Dish/Wash Rags
-Lemon
-Windex
-Find out a way to best clean blinds that are VERY large
-Swiffer Wet Jet Mop
-Dust Buster or small vacuum of some kind
-Pick flowers or get some fake flowers to brighten the kitchen (I prefer fake because of all the maintenance of the real ones)
-Mr. Clean/Febreze cleaner, or any all purpose cleaner that smells nice, ANYTHING but Pine-sol would probably work
-Wood floor cleaner
-Steam Cleaner
-New Bedding for ALL
-First Aid Kit supplies and Cold Medicine supplies
-Bathroom Cleaner
-Create a home office or office area
-Drano
Good thing I am taking this slow- wow! I don't think I could get or afford half of those things in only a month. God is gracious and will bless this project no matter what the speed. This will be hard work but a good challenge.
