Spring Cleaning

Re: Spring Cleaning

  • I can't really help with ideas as I'm hoping to go through and clean out/organize my entire house and garage (we emptied a storage unit into it to save $).  I'm hoping to follow FlyLady as much as I can.  I've started with their "bingo" on Facebook and it's helping little by little.  I have to say that it is motivating me to do the rest of the house.  I'm even thinking of running a little business promo with my FB friends/fans to encourage them to do a specific spring cleaning task with me to motivate me to finally do it since I don't have any excuse for why it's not done yet, lol.
  • I started the other day. I plan on doing my whole apartment. I'm having a baby in July so I want to get everything cleaned and organized!!!! I've already done my fridge and bedroom closet. I'm working on my bedroom today.

    Just search the internet. There are lots of list and blogs out there!!!

  • DH and I did a huge spring cleaning a couple of weekends ago. We got rid/donated a ton of stuff.

    I usually start with rooms that are used most often and then tackle other rooms. Our 2nd bedroom was a wreck so we saved that for last.

    We made sure to vacuum all corners, baseboards, ceilings, and vents.

    Probably in the next couple weeks we will do another deep clean when it is nicer out. 

    Maintaining it is our worst problem!

  • Ditto on what Jkip0705 said - I like to wait until its nice enough to open the windows while I'm cleaning.  For some reason it makes everything go faster, plus it smells better when I'm done. 

    I usually use the Martha Stewart Handbook for tips on what to do.  I've seen copies of it a couple different libraries if you want to check it out (I'm a total Martha girl).   

  • My main goals for this spring is to clean the carpets and get rid of some things in our closets.

    At some point, I'd like to clean the blinds and replace some of our curtains.

  • I started this weekend. I decided to start early to get my house in good shape for our engagement party this weekend. me and my fiance just made a list of all the repairs we wanted to do to the house and list of things that needed to be cleaned. the biggest thing was the Guest room that had be collecting storage since we moved in last may.I painted cleaned, and refurnished that room and I also replaced a kitchen light fixture and planted some small tress in the yard. have about a list of 12 other things that need to get done this week before the party but i guest thats the life of a young house wife/student
