Hi everyone. I'm Ronnie. And I'm Jessica. And you're listening to Clean With Me, the podcast where we walk you through cleaning your house.

Thanks for joining me. Welcome back to Clean with me podcast. In today's episode, I'm going to talk you through

cleaning a living room or family room or if you're real fast, maybe you could do both if you

have two living areas. So let's get right into the episode. As usual, the first thing I'm going to remind you to do is

get presentable. If you're not already dressed for the day, I encourage you to do that. When we're

working in a living room or family room, we're not dealing with bleach or anything like that. So you don't necessarily need to be

in cleaning clothes. You just want to wear something comfortable yet presentable. Maybe you want to

wash your face, run a brush through your hair, put on some makeup, whatever you do to feel presentable.

Or if you've already done that, you might want to just light a candle or alternatively

open the windows.

I have three windows in my living room.

So sometimes I like to open the blinds on the sides of the room because I don't particularly like to have the front one open.

I don't want to, as my mom used to call it,

feel like I'm on display. So she probably does still say that. But I usually have those blinds

kind of angled upward to where we can see out, people can't see in but when i want to let in

lots of light i open the blinds on the side windows that way nobody can see us but it lets the light in the room because because to thoroughly clean a room, you do want to put some light on the subject.

We all know that tried and true method of keeping things a little dim if you have someone over unexpectedly and you haven't dusted.

But we're going to get the dusting done in today's episode.

So you want to make sure that your room is well lit.

And of course, if you're cleaning it at night, you can turn on all the lights.

I'm going to give you a couple more minutes to do whatever you need to do to gear up for your cleaning session, whether that was getting yourself fixed up, lighting a candle or starting your wax warmer, opening blinds and windows, or maybe just taking care of some glaring issue.

Maybe you're behind on laundry and you just really want to start a load
