I've been trying to tackle ever-so-tiny things around the house since I haven't had any energy. I've also been trying to think of things I can make the kids do for me. :)
You know all the smudges that show up on doorknobs and light switches? In my house, with 3 little ones running/crawling around, they also show up on walls, windows, furniture, you name it. And they're usually not just smudges from body oils. They're more like peanut butter, snot, spit-up, plain old dirt, and who knows what else?
I figured that if they're going to make that mess, they can help clean it up! Let me tell you something that mother-in-law got me last Christmas that is absolutely perfect for the kids. It's called a KAYWOS cloth. You can clean mirrors and windows with it, using only water. It cleans them beautifully and is totally lint and streak-free!
The reason these are perfect for kids is that I can just wet the cloth for them and turn them loose to clean. I don't have to worry about their using a spray bottle and getting chemicals in their eyes or soaking the house by spraying too much.
Yesterday I was able to get the bathroom scrubbed while they worked on cleaning windows, mirrors, doorknobs, and walls. They always do a good job, especially when there is a monetary incentive involved.
Your turn! Go get those fingerprint smudges cleaned up. If you've got kids, this is a project for them!
