(1) August Deep Cleaning (2025)
I do a deep cleaning every year during Golden Week and in August-September.
I did a major cleaning three years ago.
It seems I get the urge to do a major cleaning about once every three years (lol).
Deep cleaning goes much faster in the warmer months than in the cold season.
After all, working with water is a chore when it's cold.
When you do a deep cleaning in the hot season, especially tasks that use a lot of water,
it dries in no time, and it's not cold even if your body or clothes get wet,
so it's actually quite pleasant and very efficient 💗
I started planning this year's cleaning around last month,
and started yesterday!
First, I moved things to create more space,
took out all the wooden drawers without casters to make them lighter,
moved them, gathered and threw away the papers that were laid underneath,
and removed the dust sooooo cleanly.
I felt so good at this point 💛
Furniture with casters is a breeze to move ♬
After all the dust was gone,
I wiped away the dirt with floor wax,
and finished by scrubbing with a damp cloth until it was sparkling clean!
The space on the balcony side increased a little, and I feel wonderful ♬
Dust is a mysterious thing,
when dust accumulates in the house, it also accumulates in the heart.
Just as the mind and body are one,
the state of the inside of the house is the same as the heart~.
So, it is perfectly natural that cleaning the house
makes you feel refreshed as well 👍
I also took the opportunity to dispose of my towel blanket, quilting mat,
and bath towel!
I'm happy to have fewer things again 💗
All of them were still usable.
I've been using the towel blanket for about 17-18 years,
and the quilting mat for over 20 years!
The bath towel has been about 7-8 years, I suppose.
Since they were still usable, I hesitated a bit, but
I've used them enough, and it's a time for various changes and transitions, so
I decided to dispose of them!
Instead of just throwing them away, I decided to cut them up into disposable rags
to let them serve their final purpose~ 🎵
I plan to clean the balcony, washroom, kitchen, and entrance next,
so I will use them without hesitation then.
Cutting them up with large scissors
feels so good 🌸🌸🌸
It's just cleaning, but it's more than just cleaning.
Cleaning is great
for refreshing your mind 🧹
Stay healthy in heart~ 🎵
~To those who read until the end~
Thank you from the bottom of my heart 😊
