Cleaning Month - Window Casings

Welcome back to Cleaning Month - it's week 2 and we're well on our way to cleaning up our homes a little bit at a time.  This week is all about windows - we're going to REALLY clean them every little bit of them.  If you don't like to clean windows, you're just going to have to give it a try.  Wait until you see the results - it'll totally be worth it!

This week we're playing for my best selling Cleaning Kit and New Weekly Docket!  Two people will win one of each - yay!  Comment about Cleaning Month, follow, blog about Cleaning Month, tweet about Cleaning Month, subscribe to Clean Mama, whatever - just let me know you did in the comments through this week and you'll be entered to win!

Now onto Week 2 and  Windows....

Today we are tackling the window casings - say what?  Here's what we're cleaning - pictures are so much easier, don't you think?

It should come as no surprise that I'm using Basic H2 to wash every single part of my windows - another picture to illustrate how I'm washing the window casings....


You can spray the casings, use a wet rag, or wipes....regardless of how you clean the casings, it'll make a big difference in the overall clean of your windows this week.  (If you live somewhere other than the cold Midwest, you might want to open the windows and do the tracks - I'm saving that for spring cleaning.) 

Don't forget our daily tasks - they should be easier this week (I hope)....

•SWEEP FLOORS
•WIPE COUNTERS
•LAUNDRY
•CLUTTER
Then every day of the week, I choose a larger cleaning task to do - Monday is bathrooms day.  Go here (to last week's post)  if you want more detail on Mondays and the daily cleaning tasks.

Have you been looking into Shaklee and want to just get this over with and order it all ready?  I know, so much to research and compare - if that's you, the research has been done - it'll SAVE you money AND keep your family SAFE from toxic chemicals.  Need some guidance and help?  Shoot me an email (clean.mama@yahoo.com) - I am here to help answer your questions.  I always have an awesome special and want to help you on your quest for clean!  Been hit by the economy and need to supplement or make an income?  I can help you with that too - I'd love to have you on my team!

    I am so happy I stumbled upon this website! Thank you for sharing your insights. I am less than organized and generally run through life scattered. I'm looking forward to some order. :)

    Got the window casing done yesterday. I have to agree with Katie, they looked clean before, but they are clean now.

    Thanks for the tips.

    There are times that we need to replace our windows, but before you replace those, I think it is better to check those well. Maybe your old windows just need a repair or a simple cleaning. With that, you can spend your money wisely.

    is it true that cleaning aircondition once a month will destroy the applicances?
