Homestead home update


Today’s update is not so very exciting. Unless you like the look of really really dirty blinds. 

I have taken down 8 sets of formerly white blinds and soaked them in the tub with some disinfectant and dishwashing detergent.  After a good soak, I brushed each side of each blind, sometimes scrubbing a little more.  Unfortunately, either the scrubbing or the detergent caused some of the paint to come off. I let them dry a little in the tub, and then hung them back up.  One last wipe with a microfiber cloth, and they’re almost as good as new. 

The water after each blind was black and kind of sticky. Ick. 
But they are so much better than before!  
Check out the grime and dust on the blinds.

 

In mid process, soaking and scrubbing in the tub.  


Mostly cleaned up, but a lot better!!


We’ve gotten the preliminary layer of dust removed from the first floor, and it feels so nice.  With every gunky bucket of water going down the drain, I feel so much better.
