Tackle It Tuesday

This weeks tackle was a big one for me. I decided to tackle my van and not just the usual cleaning of it but the seriously dirty parts.

For instance.....my console is removable and I could see crumbs and twoonies {$2 coins for you non-Canadians} peeking out at me.

I had to remove it first...that took awhile to figure out.

This is what I found...ewwwwwww

I cleaned, I scrubbed, I disinfected and also cleaned the carpet all around the console and this is the result.

That took me a half hour and I still had to clean the rest of the carpet. I used a microfibre cloth and a spray bottle so it took me a couple of hours to clean. I wiped down EVERYTHING..seats, cup holders...oh the grossness of cup holders.

Once again if you know my children, you know exactly who sits in this spot! I found gum {post chewed} and lots of it, a half eaten orange...ewwww...and something else that might have been a piece of melted chocolate bar.

I scrubbed, I cleaned, I disinfected......different view but here is the end result....there were spills right down to the floor but they are gone now.

I wanted to switch the baby and Sasha around so I decided to lift up the seats and clean under there.

After:

So this is what my van looks like without car seats...interesting.....

Finally, after two hours of vacuming, dusting, scrubbing, and disinfecting I was done and everyone's seat was where I wanted it and the floor was finally clean.

What are you tackling this week? My sister is tackling 28 today.....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOOTS!!!
