3 Weeks to a Spring Clean Home: Task #8 Update

Today started out really well. The sun was shining, the birds were chirping. I was actually looking forward to cleaning the trash cans.

That’s when life happened.

Elliott had a few accidents that I had to clean (we just started potty training), and then Kaylee was fussy for about an hour. Then it was lunch time.

The next thing I know it’s 12:30pm and I still hadn’t tackled the trash cans.

When Elliott went down for his nap half an hour later, I emptied all the bins and started to wash them.

I find it easiest to wash trash cans in the bathtub.

I set them out on the porch to dry, only to bring them in 5 minutes later due to a sudden thunderstorm that decided to stop by.

Because of all the rain, I couldn’t get to the outside trash can (I don’t like washing it in the garage), so it will have to wait until tomorrow.

At least the indoor trash cans are clean!

A tip my mom gave me: keep an extra trash bag at the bottom of the bin so you have a replacement the next time you take out the trash.
