Today I defrosted the small freezer.  Since it is only the size of a bar fridge we take it out on the verandah and let the ice thaw without any added assistance.  I pack all of the contents into the camp fridge and set it to ‘freeze’ so there is no problem with anything defrosting.  The freezer lives in the office so I took the opportunity to give the room a good clean.

Here is what I did:

• Cleared the desk of some random papers
• Sent some emails which related to the paperwork which was then discarded
• Threw out a pen which no longer works
• Wiped down the bookshelves and desk
• Clean mould off door and architraves
• Cleaned the windows
• Washed the flyscreen
• Removed the light fitting and washed out the residue of bugs
• Wiped lemon oil around the cornices and corners to deter the spiders
• Wiped down all of the computer items
• Vacuumed the keyboard
• Cleaned power points and light switches
• Vacuumed and washed the floor

While I try to keep the house in reasonable order most of the time, I do find it good to give one room a good clean from top to bottom.

How do you clean?  One room completely or do you tackle all of the vacuuming or perhaps clean every light switch in the house?
