Clean – Dishwasher
Our dishwasher is used once a day. It usually cleans our breakfast dishes, dinner plates, cups, mugs and cutlery. With all this, there isn’t enough room for anything else. However, after time the dishwasher itself gets a little grotty and needs a good clean.
Cleaning task
Today’s cleaning task is to clean your dishwasher:
[wlchecklist name=’CleanDay12′]
I use a clean & dirty dishwasher label to help alert the family if the dishes are clean or dirty. I use this as a subtle way of saying “the dishes are clean, so please unpack the dishwasher for me!”
Label is available in my shop. Use coupon code 20daysdish to download for FREE (saving $2.95) Click here to download
Declutter – Bathroom Cupboards
Todays task is to declutter your bathroom cupboards, throwing away items that are broken, you have not used in over a year or have expired ie perfumes, lotions and makeup all have an expiry date. Find more details here about these expiry dates.
See how I organised one of my friends bathroom cupboards here.

Organise – Bathroom Cupboards
Make it easier for yourself to find something the next time you are looking in your cupboard.
Plastic storage baskets are great to hold lotions, soaps and shampoos so if they leak it’s easy to wipe clean.
Find more details here on how I have organised:

All done!
The base of the dishwasher door did have decent gunk which i cleaned for the first time in almost 4yrs. I just never thought of it.
Bathroom cupboards decluttered and organised as well
I’m pleased.
Thanks Kat
Its something you don’t really think of hey!
All done. Thanks for the dishwasher label. What a great idea 🙂 It is lovely to have clean cupboards & drawers with space in them now.
its so handy isn’t it! oooh what are you gunna do with all that extra space!
loved tackling the dishwasher, although quite surprisingly erky!
it’s much better now
🙂
and I ran out to my fav reject shop to buy trays for the bathroom cabinets, yay
sorted!
I love the reject shop, I’m hoping to get there in the next few days for some drawer dividers!
Many thanks for the free download Kat. Since Day 8 when I did our family responsibility system the children have been unloading the dishwasher in the morning (all three of them – ages 3, 6, and 9). They love it and now that they can put the label on the front of the dishwasher they’ll love it even more 🙂
It’s just a fun little play on a chore 😉
So happy to have sorted the kids bath toys etc and to throw out make up etc. The girls love that their school and hair ties are all sorted and colour co ordinated.
Another day done 🙂 Thank you Kat for the free dishwasher sign – I’m definitely going to use it!!
Thanks for the FREE dishwasher label Katrina. Can’t wait to pop it on my dishwasher.
you are very welcome lovely x
Finally completed day 12!!! Was on such a roll and then my daughter, who is special needs, had an accident and has been off school so I have got nothing done!!! Thankfully I managed to get the dishwasher done at the end of day 11 ( thanks for tip about cleaning along the inside edge with a toothbrush!!!!!????) and now I’ve just managed to sort the bathroom cupboards whilst she’s having a sleep! Yay!!!!!
Well done, Louise! You are making great progress. Hope your daughter is okay x
