I see a lot of spring cleaning guides around this time of year that are so complicated and I just don't understand how cleaning can be such a task. So here is my list and here is how I spring clean my home.
First step, open your windows! Ahhhhhhh, feels nice doesn't it? Let that fresh air come and let it swift its way through out your home. Now you are ready to clean.
Rule number one: One room a day. That is right, do not over do yourself and try and spring clean your whole home in one day. One room at a time and it usually lasts a week.
Rule number two: Everything has a place. While you are cleaning your house and you find something you just end up throwing on the counter top or in a drawer. Throw it is the trash or get rid of it. If you don't have a place for an item you don't need it. This helps eliminate clutter.
Rule number three: Always go and straighten up the rooms you did the day before to help keep it spotless and clean.
