Spring cleaning might not sound like a good time, but for many it’s a welcomed chore. That’s because it means we can say good riddance to winter.
There are a couple of ways to approach your spring cleaning. You could do it all at once by setting aside one weekend and attacking your home from top to bottom. Or you could it in stages, dedicating several days or weekends throughout the month for the various chores. You could also hire someone and go sit on your patio with a book and an umbrella drink.
If spring cleaning is a DIY task for you (hopefully you have some helpers), here are some handy resources we’ve found that will help you divide and conquer so you don’t end up cleaning for an entire season.
