What can I clean that will make me feel better

[Anonymous]

I’m having a terrible week. A lot of things took a bad turn. The house is also a mess. I know I need to declutter and organize but is there something I can scour or insanely detail tonight with a podcast on that will make me feel better?

I think clean bathrooms are nice. Also they don't usually require a lot of putting things away.

I scrubbed out the refrigerator yesterday. Highly satisfying.

The bathroom get on your hands and knees and clean behind and the sides of the toliet and tub, baseboards, walls all of it.

Baseboards, switch plates, doors

They get grimy and it is easy to overlook at own house. Satisfying. Also - go through the fridge.

Hope you can not stress.

I take everything from the one wooden counter it gets dumped on, put it in a pile, and use the nice smelling wood cleaner.

I'd pick one drawer or cabinet to organize. Easy, low effort. Once you get on a roll it is much easier to mvoe onto other things and feel like you had a win.

Take a picture of one cluttered place in your home. Then, run around (like an unexpected guest is coming to your house in 10 minutes) and clean that place. Maybe you just shift the clutter to another room. Then take an after picture.

Keep doing it all the low hanging cleaning fruits similarly until you have a mini-flip album on your smart phone. Set it to music.

1) Then, throw away the trashes and take care of the recycling.

2) Shoes away, coats hung

3) Do the dishes and clean the counters

4) Run one load of laundry.

I think that is the easiest cleaning of the house in 1 hr or less.

Pantry. Take everything out, toss any food that needs to go, wipe down shelves, and then put everything back in an organized and aesthetically pleasing way.

Fridge, same thing.

Bathroom drawers/cabinet. I have two drawers where I keep all my makeup, hair stuff, and medications, and no matter what organizational stuff I put in there, they always get messy after a few months. I love pulling it all out, tossing old products, cleaning it, and then putting everything back just so.

If organizing isn't your jam, I also enjoy:

- Kitchen deep clean. Scour sink and stove top, de-grease hood and backsplash, wipe down cabinets and drawer faces inside and out, wipe down countertop appliances, re-fill salt pig, etc.
- Clean out all your bathroom sinks and drains. Pull out the drain mechanism to remove any hair or other gunk, flush out with vinegar and baking soda, clean inside of faucet where sometimes hard water can build up, clean under counter where it meets the sink, etc. If ambitious you can do shower drains too.
- For lighter but still satisfying work, clean and dust bookshelves and media center. Pull everything off, wipe down both the shelves and all books and other objects with a damp cloth, then replace and make it look nice as you put things back.

I did this today too. Removed the shelves and washed them. Bright and shiny inside now.
