Spring is just around the corner. And I don’t know about you, but with the warmer weather we have been experiencing, I keep thinking I should start some spring cleaning. Have you gotten the spring clean itch & looking for tips?
If you are ready to begin cleaning, here are some suggestions on how to start your spring cleaning process.
Spring Cleaning Tips:
- Make a “To Do” List: Know what you want to accomplish and make a list to stay organized.
- Have a Plan: What project do you want to tackle first? Make a schedule to stay on task, but don’t overwhelm yourself by tackling too much at a time. Spread out your tasks so you don’t get worn out.
- Prepare for Cleaning: Make sure to get all the cleaning supplies you need ahead of time. Buy a caddy to organize all your supplies and keep everything in the same place.
- Plan to Maintain Your Home Throughout the Year
