Cleaning Guide for Every Room

For some people it comes easily to keep everything organized and spotless but for some of us it can be overwhelming! Some people can do things off their mind but for some of us it's easier to follow a list! So that's what I came up with, a list to clean every room in your house! Trust me once I start cleaning and following this list I don't stop until I complete it! It motivates me to keep going & finish! The list may seem pretty long but trust me a lot of the tasks are very easy to get done and wont take you any longer than 1 minute! I also listed everything in the order I clean my home but of course you can always customize that!
