Believe it or not spring cleaning CAN actually be FUN. Especially if you grab a friend and get busy together. Taking care of the usual mundane chores of house cleaning can be a much more uplifting experience if you are laughing about how your dust bunnies have turned into woofies over a year.
Spring cleaning comes in many forms and levels depending on how serious you want and need to get. First of all you will have to remove the clutter and piles so that you can get to the surfaces that need to cleaned. I suggest that you get a few boxes and sort them the moment you have to pick up the object and/or put them in their respectful place right away. This alone will make your house and rooms feel more open and airy for the fresh air to flow through.
Second, expect to be cleaning in places that you don’t normally clean. Places such as baseboards, under the couch and knocking out the crumbs from the toaster are all a part of this effect.
