Deep Clean the Extra-Room Storage Units


Today is Day 20 of the “30 Day House Cleaning Challenge” and you will be cleaning up in the extra-room today.

If you don’t have any additional rooms, you can catch up on any part of the challenge that you may have missed so far.

Let’s get started with today’s task of deep cleaning the storage units in the Extra room.

Day 20: Deep Clean the Extra-Room Storage Units

Deep Clean the Extra-Room Storage UnitsToday you begin with deep cleaning the storage units in the extra room.

The storage units you have in this room will depend upon what exactly you use the room for. For example, if this is your home office, you might have a cabinet for files and documents; if it’s a play room, you might have toy storage etc. So just clean whatever is left to be cleaned.

Important Note:

Keep in mind that the time it takes you to complete the tasks, and the order in which you do them, depends entirely on you. It depends on your skill, your working style, the time that you can afford to put in each day, the size of your rooms and your cleanliness standards.
So, whatever you do, don’t get overwhelmed and work at your own pace. It doesn’t matter if you take a bit longer to complete the challenge.
Do whatever works for you – skip certain tasks, add others. But, just clean something!
Also be sure to check the notes at the end, for some useful tips to help you stay on track and save time cleaning.

Tips to remember during the 30 Day House Cleaning Challenge

    1. Before you begin, gather all the necessary tools and keep them ready. You could get yourself a cleaning caddy or just use a basket or box.
    2. Decide on a specific amount of time that you can/will spend cleaning and set a timer. Work as quickly as you can within this time and don’t get distracted. (Except if it’s an emergency of some kind!)
    3. Start cleaning from the top of the room and work your way down. This will prevent dust falling on surfaces that you have already cleaned.
    4. Work from one side of the room to the other side, in a systematic matter, so that you don’t miss any spots.
    5. When the timer goes off, stop working! You can catch up with what you have missed during your next cleaning session.
    6. Use checklists to track your progress and to ensure that you don’t miss out anything. Checklists are especially useful in instances where you cannot complete a task and need to reschedule it.

  1. This is really useful! Distraction is my biggest detracter … I really need to focus the task at hand and leave the phone far away.😀
