Dec
We’re all a bit different. Some of us look forward to the day we’ve set aside annually for dusting, decluttering, and dumping half the things we own in the trash. Some of us avoid that day until it’s almost Thanksgiving, and we realize that the entire family will be here tomorrow…
But no matter who you are, you’re probably looking forward to spring! A new season, a fresh start, and a bit more time in the great outdoors than winter would allow for. Even when you’re stuck inside doing chores, it’s nice enough you can prop open a window for the breeze and catch a whiff of daffodils and tulips!
Perhaps your flowerbed isn’t quite blossoming yet. Regardless, there’s a restlessness all around that begins with the first itch of warm weather. We’ve been itching on and off for a while, now. Maybe that’s what has me in spring cleaning mode; wanting to wipe down windows, scrub the floor, and dust off even the space behind the books on the shelf. Maybe you’ve been feeling that itch too, but don’t know where to start this year.
For those who don’t have as much time to clean, this month-long cleaning guide from Stain Removal 101 might just be what you need. For those who want to set aside just a day or two, perhaps this list will help you make sure you get everything done.
