This post brought to you by Insurance Hunter. All opinions are 100% mine.
The snow has melted (well, most of it anyways) and it's now time to think about spring cleaning. If you are anything like me, this is a task that you dread. While I really like the feeling AFTER it is done, it's something taht I tend to put off doing - as it is such a BIG project. Insurance Hunter is a great source for auto insurance quotes; they have published an article Tips for getting your spring cleaning chores organized.
The article has steps to help ensure that you complete all your tasks; start with a to do list and make sure to organize it by priority - decide which are the most imporant. Seperate the chores into categories (indoor/outdoor, room by room etc) and assign tasks to those who will be helping with the chores. One thing that I like to do is wash all of my windows (inside and out) I use my Norwex enviro cloth and polishing cloth to get this task done (I like to clean without harmful chemicals - this also lets me get my kids involved, as all they are using is a microfiber cloth and water)
If you create a timeline, it will give you a goal to work towards (an incentive can help too - maybe a special bbq meal on your patio furniture once all your chores are done and the backyard is completely set up!) Hubby and I LOVE to relax on our deck in the summer, and having all the spring cleaning done is something to celebrate! We bbq steak or chicken, pair it with rice and a greek salad and it's a great welcome to spring meal!
What are your spring cleaning tips? Do you love to spring clean, or dread it?

i love to spring clean all the time :) I do this when ever the season changes to remove clutter having a list is so important
ReplyDeleteI so have to start my spring cleaning!
ReplyDeleteI don't even want to think about spring cleaning yet! (LOL!) Great tips!
ReplyDeleteI am usually fairly organized but have definitely been putting off my "spring cleaning", possibly because the weather does not feel very spring like...lol Next week I'll start!
ReplyDeleteI am longing for spring and sunshine and getting outdoors. First thing I need is a new umbrella for the patio table. Spring cleaning can wait!
ReplyDeleteI love Spring cleaning but this year it has been hard for me to get everything done that I normally do in 1 weekend. I just had a baby boy 7 weeks ago and I also have a 2 year old daughter and so now with 2 kids a cleaning list is my MUST HAVE. I just do little things each day. One day I'll do the dusting and vacuuming then the next I'll clean a bathroom and so on. It takes A lot longer now, but hey it's getting done! Lol
