Cleaning Tip

Earlier this weekend, the floor refinishers applied the last round of sanding and top coat of polyurethane. Now that all the sheetrock is done, floors refinished, and brick scrubbed clean all the really dusty, dirty work is done. We noticed a film of light brown dust all over everything including the walls after the floors were sanded the first time.

Obviously we'd have to take care of that because there's more painting to be done, and it's just plain gross to li - plus it distorts the way the paint color looks. Cleaning all the walls, light fixtures, cabinets, and trim in a 2400 sq. ft. house seems like a daunting task. So I'm thrilled that we thought of this idea to help move along the process much quicker!

You know those old Swiffer wands we all got when they first time they came out? I'm pretty sure I haven't used mine at all in the house we've lived in the last 5 years, but I reached to the very back of the closet and got that little guy out. It's PERFECT for wiping the walls down all the way from the top (9'-10'+) to the baseboards without breaking my back or moving a stool or ladder from room to room!
