Three-week Challenge: One Room

Do you manage with weekly cleaning but keep putting off less frequent tasks? I have a challenge for you: get one room completely clean/tidied up by March 28th. Get your stepladder and dust the top of those cabinets. And isn't it time to wash those curtains? When was the last time you moved your furniture and hoovered behind it? Threw out or donated what you no longer needed?

Come on, just choose a room and do what you always postpone to never later. Feel free to comment to say which room you want to tackle, mention whenever you managed to accomplish something - small or big - so that we can cheer you on, and ask for or share some tips.

(P.S. Thanks, Yvi!)

Done and dusted! (Literally). Bedroom is clean. Granted, my clean is not everybody's clean--there are still some odds and ends on one of my desks, for example, though only the necessary ones. My sheets look raggedy because they always do (they're queen sheets on a full bed). But I cleared off surfaces, dusted, folded my "not quite dirty, not quite clean" clothes and put them in one place, cleared off the chair, made the bed, organized my under-the-bed boxes where my clothes live, got the dirty clothes in a trash bag, and vacuumed. I still need to clean my computer screen but other than that, I'm finished.
