Dear Home-Ec 101,
My house is a wreck. I’m scared to open the fridge, I swear something growled at me the last time I grabbed a soda. I think a dust bunny ate the baby.
Help Me!
Signed,
Don’t Know Where to Start.
Heather Says:
I begin with the kitchen sink, it’s a small area and it can be conquered!
Empty your sink of all dishes, fill it with hot water and a little bleach.
Come back and read for a few minutes or empty the dishwasher, if you’d prefer.
After the hot water has had time to loosen the crud, drain the sink, and use a non-abrasive cleaner to scrub it. Don’t be afraid to use a little elbow grease! Now, if you have a sink like mine, you may have to use a mild abrasive like Bar Keeper’s Friend, or in a pinch, baking soda.
Finish by shining the faucet with a little window cleaner and wipe with a paper towel or soft cloth.
It’s a lot easier to face the day when you don’t have to shovel dishes out the way to brew a pot of coffee.
Now go find that baby!

I don't know what's wrong with me lately. I want a sparkling home, that's what I love but lately I just don't have the energy to do anything. In my head I clean and organize but when I get up to do it I just can't. I just don't know what to do. I can't hire it done for there is no extra money. thanks for the articles.
