Wow. I've been writing about the
ring o' crap in our condo for a decade. D A N G . Part of me thinks that rings o' crap have a longevity to them because they morph from one type of crap to another and another to another and so on. And part of me thinks that is just an excuse. Regardless, I shall tackle this problem again. Here are the first small areas that looked awful and are now clean.

Good job! What did you do with all the stuff you removed? If you put them somewhere else, that doesn't count :)
Most of it went into the trash and recycling. But I am guilty of keeping a few items, for sure.
Okay, well done then!
Did you read the popular book by Marie Kondo -- The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up?
I read it and got rid of a bunch of clothing shortly after, but haven't done mores since then.
I read the book and I went through my closet and pretty much stopped all cleaning efforts after that. I'm not going to get rid of books no matter how clean it leaves my house. Her 'touch each piece method' sounded super, well, ridiculous but it worked for me because I tend to form sentimental attachments to things. It felt less guilty about getting rid of things I never really used/liked/wanted.
