8 Easy steps to Spring cleaning!

I love love love cleaning! It calms me. 

And its that time of season where we are all trying to spring clean.

Here are 6 tips from me that I feel will help!

1. You can have a clean house but still have a messy house. This come from too much clutter! So its time to throw away!! Get your donation bags or your garbage bags and get cracking.

2. Make a plan. If you stand and realize how many rooms you have to do, you will get overwhelmed. Pick one room a day or even two depending on your house/place. I start with bedrooms.

3. Take the room apart piece by piece then as you clean it put it back. My boyfriend has a wall of Nascar cars, I take them all down,dust,wash wall,wash shelves and then put them back and move clockwise around the room. 

4. The dollar store has cheap baskets and organizing tools. My daughter has play food all over her room, I bought her 3 dollar baskets that are pink and lined them up on her shelf's in her room labeled. No clutter and looks adorable. Anything you can find to help update,orginize or hide items will improve any room.

5. Wash curtains!! Sounds funny but really,when you spring clean give it your all. Curtains get dusty and loose color after awhile. Go to tag sale? Look out for some new curtains,it will help any room. Same with blinds,set them in a tub full of soap,or bleach, anything to clean them then wipe them down. Your going to find cobwebs in places this also gives you time to dust with the stuff down and away from windows.

6. Wash windows!!

7. Try change. Sometimes changing a room around does wonders for a persons mood or even for the household. You might find more space with it another way or realize you can fit in that comfy recliner you have in storage now. =)

8.This is the funniest one but for me cleaning my ceiling in each room. It seems to be dirty even though they never look it. Also spruce up your floors. Do a bleach run down or get some polish for those wood floors. Maybe rent a Rug Dr for those nasty stains on the carpets.

Clutter for me is the worse that and the up high cob webs. I also wash my windows once a year. I know shame on me. 
Spring cleaning when I am done feels amazing. You don't realize how much got dirty till you see the room afterwards. Or even de-cluttering a room. Its worth the time. 

Most of all think of it as a "worth it" moment not a "have to" moment and if you have some extra cash add something new to each room. New pillows. New curtains. New area rug. New paint. Etc. As a woman we can find good deals on new stuff. And it makes us feel fresh and good at the end of the day.
