Here in the midwest, the snow is melting, the days are getting longer and the sun is out more. With the seasons changing and I have the itch to clean. (How is that possible?!) With the sun shining, the motivation for spring cleaning tips is driving the post.
Isn’t it crazy when the snow starts to melt, it’s time to clean. When I was growing up, my Mom would enlist all of her children to clean for one weekend. We did everything, windows, curtains, cabinets, carpet, furniture. It was crazy how much we cleaned.
While we cleaned my mother’s home we also purged and got rid of clutter. As an adult, I can understand why she loved this cleaning weekend.
I do plan on enlisting my children in cleaning our house and teaching them the importance of cleaning.
With the itch to clean I had help from some of my blogging friends who had cleaning tips and tricks that I want to share with you today!
