If you're anything like me, you sometimes get into a cleaning rut.  As much as I try to make sure my house is taken care of, I just can't seem to get on top of it sometimes.  I am challenging you, along with myself, to complete a handful of tasks every day this week to get your house back on track!  Each day, we'll be focusing on certain rooms, but that doesn't mean we'll be doing everything in that room on that particular day - we may come back to a task later in the week.  I'm all about efficiency, and I'd rather pull out my duster once a week rather than every day.

You'll need to set aside 2 hours every day and gather a few supplies.  Grab a bucket and fill it with these items:

• microfiber cloths or rags (about 4 or 5)
• dish soap
•  natural all-purpose cleaner (my favorite is BabyGanics:  The Grime Fighter)
• spray bottle of distilled white vinegar 
• spray bottle of hydrogen peroxide (you can buy little spray bottles of peroxide at the pharmacy)
• scrub sponge
• natural furniture polish (or make your own with olive oil and lemon juice)
• lemon juice
• baking soda
• optional:  natural glass cleaner (like BabyGanics:  The Sparkle Maker) and magic erasers

Additionally, you need:

• a broom
• a vacuum cleaner
• toilet brush
• dishwasher
• laundry washer and dryer
