Spring Cleaning?

Every year those of us who are very particular about our environments, will look around and say, "Time to start doing some spring cleaning!"  This may consist of sorting old clothing, appliances, shoes, book, videos, and more.  Items are bagged and ready for a local donation center.  Others will clean house from top to bottom.  Some will just do a little light housekeeping and hope one day that the other stuff will just work itself out!

If you are interested in spring cleaning, there are many blog entries on this site that will help you organize one room at a time.  The key to a successful spring cleaning is to work one room at a time.  Don't try to do everything all on one day.  That kind of cleaning is overwhelming!  It makes you and those living with you resent spring cleaning; rather than embrace it!  If you want others to help you, consider giving them something in exchange for their service.  Don't expect people to just want to do something just because.  People living with you may not consider cleaning the house from top to bottom all that important.  Besides, if you maintain your cleaning all year round, you won't feel pressed to complete the majority of your tasks exclusively during the spring.

Now for those who are new to all this organizing and cleaning, this is the time of year that those 30 plus moms and dads just might be putting many things out for yard sales, online auctions, and flea markets.  The best thing about spring cleaning are those treasures you might find that people simply don't need or want.  The holiday season wasn't that long ago and chances are many households inherited things that they really didn't need or want.  So make plans to bargain shop!

When you are ready to clean and organize your home, do remember to list all of the supplies you will need to get your tasks done ie.) cleaning supplies, bucket, organizer, boxes, garbage bags, etc.  Save some money so that you aren't going into funds at the last minute reserved for something else like bills.  It can be frustrating to start cleaning a room only to realize you don't have anything to effectively completely your tasks.

Spring cleaning is a great time of year, but what is better is when you know that your house is clean and organized enough that this time of year can come and go and you wouldn't miss it!
