Spring cleaning

It was a dreary rainy day today.  We took it as an opportunity to give our apartment a proper cleaning.  The biggest difference came from having the professionals over to shampoo the carpets.  After nine months or so of toddler detritus, the rugs really needed some stain removal.  I learned, after seeing the enormous amount of dry debris they extracted and the gallons of grimy water that it took, that the brushless canister vac that came with our place really doesn't cut it. 

We organised our papers and the closets, did heaps of laundry, and bleached every available surface in the bathrooms.  Amiri's favorite part was helping with the windows.
