Anyone else have special things they do on the first of the month beside their regular items?
I change the vacuum cleaner bags and fill up all the hand soap bottles.

First of the Month chores?

I am so glad I'm not the only one!!! Thanks
It seems so easy when I do this every month. I never even think about it, I just do it.
I'm trying to write down some of these things for my notebook. Will have to add garage can cleaning. That's a good idea. Our gargage will be picked up a day late because of the holiday but I'll get it this week.
When I had animals I did the animal baths too.

The stove fan has filters? :haha:
Actually, I know now -- but I didn't know for a long time. So thank you for the reminder. It sounds so easy the way you suggest - doing it on the first of the month.

OMG!! You can put them in the dishwasher!!! Why didn't I think of that!!! :thud:
I was at my ds apartment a few months ago. Asked him if he cleaned his stove filters. He didn't have a clue. So I showed him his. It was almost dripping with grease. Much to greasy to even put into the dishwasher. I soaked it in boiling water in the kitchen sink. Looked a little better but not much. No telling how many years that filter has been in use since he rents.
The next time we have a cleaning day at his house I'll take some Calgon to soak the filter in. You would be surprised at how well Calgon water will clean grease. I just put about 1/4 cup calgon in very hot water and let any greasy item soak for half an hour.

I deep clean my fridge and stove the first f every month....I know I've got too much time on my hands. :slap:
I change the filters in both furnaces (one upstairs, one downstairs) on the 1st of each month.

I have chores which I like to complete on a monthly basis such as:-
Clean windows inside ( whole house)
Wash all ornaments and glass
Hoover blinds & curtains
Hoover sofas
Hoover bed mattresses
Wash mattress covers
Clean door handles and light switches with anti-bac
Sweep the driveway
Clean windows outside and wipe down paintwork ( I'm not too good with this one)
Descale kettle and washing machine
Clean dishwasher and fill up salt etc.
There are probably others which don't spring to mind at the moment, as there are too many to do all in one day I try and work them into my routine during the first week of the month.
Have done pretty well this month apart from the outside stuff as it has done nothing but rain here pretty much for the last 10 days. I'll try and do them later in the month if the weather allows.

Snowbelle, You added a few I had forgotten!!! Funny how when you do things on a routine, you forget you even do them.
