clean ALL the things!
Nov. 29th, 2011 10:53 pmSpent the majority of the day cleaning the kitchen. Didn't finish cleaning but at least the countertops and floor are clean and lots of random spices & jars of what-the-hell-ever have been sorted and/or thrown out. Tomorrow's plan of attack: scrub the hell out of the refrigerator, sort the junk in the cupboards, and ideally get started on cleaning the dining room.
The area around the oven was the worst to deal with. My parents just kind of cook stuff without paying much attention to what they are doing or cleaning up after themselves so the walls and floors and, honestly, everything nearby was discolored by grease and smoke. Like, the walls went from dull yellow to white during the cleaning process and it was PRETTY GROSS. eeeeeerrrrrghhhhhhhh
On the plus side, the kitchen is by far the worst room so now that it's out of the way, the cleaning process should be less rigorous. And while everything smells like windex and febreeze right now, that's an improvement over old, burned grease and garlic.
Hopefully the whole house will be SHINY and CLEAN by this time next week. c:
