I always forget about “cleaning” my washer!! I need to put a sign on it that says, “Clean Me, Too”!

Ahh!! Hate cleaning, especially dusting. I seriously feel like right after I dust a counter it is dirty again within like 2 minutes. No joke.. its pointless! This helped.. getting my hubbie to change the air filter today! 🙂 Thanks for some great resources.

Thanks for the tips! I need to do a better job about ‘deep cleaning’. It seems like it just piles up after a while. 🙂

These are such great tips…. the baseboards are always forgotten here too. And dusting is that one chore I never seem to get to. 🙂

I totally agree, cleaning the fridge is so important. I mean that’s where you put your food and sustenance. And it’s no good to use chemicals that you can’t spell or pronounce where you put the food that you put into your mouth!

We try to clean our fridge at least once every other week. It is amazing the number of spills and stuff that happen when you don’t even realize it.
