    Kitchen Sink is done! (and it's still clean this morning - Yay!) Also cleaned off the entire kitchen island when I finished the sink. Today, I think I'll try to tackle the MUDROOM! Anyone else up for a whole room/area??

    WHY did you have to pick the CRAZIEST room in our house.... I'm up for it, but that will have to wait for tomorrow.... I am up for dining room legs, though. Bring it on!

    I like this! My room will be my Dining Room. It needs a good once over.

    My mud room cannot be done within a day, it really is a storage room. I have an idea for a challenge for next week Mon-fri clean either one shelf, cabinet, or drawer a day in any room in your home.

    finished windows my son did diningroom table legs, bed will be done later after my exercise class.

    I need this! I'm in. Also, feminism was about being able to choose what we want not having it predetermined for us because of our gender. I choose to clean, but so does my husband. Win.

    Hi again....windows are done here, we'll the glass sliding doors anyway, but only finished the one as it took a while! Cleaned all the runners too, amazing how much dirt builds up isn't it!!!

    I'll tackle table legs tomm

    Ok, for the next challenge is anyone up for the entry hall skirting boards (baseboards)?

    Open to any other ideas, I just know after doing my laundry hall ones there is a whole lot of dirt there I don't know existed!!!!

    Sounds great to me! I need motivation on the weight loss front, fallen right off the wagon in the past month and I really need to get my house clean too! :)

    Sinks done....downstairs bathroom & baseboards done. I'm also following "unf***yourhabitat.tumblr.com" so I'm picking areas of the house & cleaning & organizing along with this challenge. I've got a utility room that needs some attention today & I'm gonna do the dining room legs.

    I'd like to suggest that one of our challenges be cleaning the ceiling fans.

    Hey Folks! Sorry I wasn't around this weekend. It was busy with the kids. I want everyone to feel free to post tasks on here too. I run a small day care out of my house so some days are hard for me to get on here. If you have a good task please add it. I do have an important task for today though.

    Disinfect all door knobs, light switches, remotes, keyboards and anything that people tough often. There has been so much sickness coming in and out of this house that I want to sterilize.

    After that my microwave is getting a clean down. Inside, outside, top and bottom.

    I've just got down on my hands and knees and scrubbed half he kitchen floor and walls. Other half is to come

    After that I will most definitely clean the sink with an old toothbrush

    Hello everyone....apologies, I fell off the cleaning wagon for a couple if days....little one is teething.....ok, I'll start on dusting (but just furniture) tomorrow, and if I catch up then I'll do the sterilize doors knobs etc, that's a great idea, especially with babies and children around!

    Yes, I think lots of men clean, my husband certainly does, but domestic goddess kind of has a nice ring to it! I'm sure it's not meant to offend people, rather encourage us to do beautifully :-)

    I should have put Domestic God and Goddesses. My husband helps plenty too. LOL I wasn't thinking. Today I'm going to work on the kid closets. They have too many things in there that doesn't fit. I need to purge.

    :ohwell: Just found this today, I am IN! When I get home from work, the sinks had better look out, they are getting the first attention, and going from there! I would try to do it all today to catch up, but with three kids, it just isn't going to happen!

    Hello! I've been playing catchup! I've just cleaned out our babies clothes that don't fit, and cleaning the covers for couches tonight!

    Tomorrow I'm planning on doing a half hour "sort through" the kitchen to clear out any things we've not used in twelve months! Anyone with me on this one?

    ok, so I see i am behind! I was getting geeked about the sinks and then 4 pages later saw microwave, door knobs etc.

    it's "sink time" for me today

    so a song seems to come to mind almost every second of the day and the one that comes to mind right not is "hammer time" ok so maybe I am dating my self a bit. I can assure you this jingle will be in my head whilst cleaning sinks later today.

    thanks for the inspiration!
