The Susan Strizich Program, 7-Days to a Sparkly Clean House

You're probably eagerly wondering where I am in this program. Well, I did a great job. My house is SOOOOO clean.

Well, it's REALLY clean.

Uh, well, it's a LOT cleaner than it was last week.

In earnest, the downstairs got done, including walls, furniture moved, complete dusting, baseboards washed. (skipped the playroom, it needing the thorough mow-down clean out, that it does. And I skipped the storage room too, as that's a whole 'nother animal in itself.) Moved on to the stairwell (pictures down, walls scrubbed), the kids' room, same deal, the office (didn't wash curtains, they're new enough, didn't take all the books off the bookcase, too much work); the living room (now tired of washing walls, so I skipped those), the kitchen (scrubbed about 1/2 of the grout because it's just such a pain, and the junk drawer just got cleaned out like two months ago, so that'll do, wanted to clean the top of the cabinets, but way too yucky up there), but the master bedroom- it's truely sparkly- my Mother's Day present to myself.

Two days later my giant dog poops downstairs on my previously cleaner-than-clean carpet, smelling up the cleaner-than-clean air down there. Twice.

So, all in all, I'm thinking that Mrs. Strizich and her sparkly-clean house can beat it. I don't know why I listen to her anyway.
