Grrr, Spring Cleaning!!

i need to do this myself.. clothes items i usually go through over winter and put them into boxes,as i have time. i actually have a hard time donating tho-a lot of the centers around here are picky.they refuse a lot. (some things i've donated were brand new,too)

I know what you mean. It's coming on that time for us too. I usually put things up on freecyle that we don't want anymore and are decent. I find the best way to tackle spring cleaning is doing it room by room. Take one a day and just work on it all day long (with breaks of course) but that way I can feel like I accomplished something. When I try to do the whole house and get parts done, like flip all the matteresses or do the curtains, it doesn't seem like I accomplish that much. It's not obvious where the other is and that can spur me to do more.

I hate spring cleaning that is such a dreaded job but somebody has to do it so with dread I roll up my sleves and dig in. first the closets if it hasn't been worn in 2 years it goes. If it is holey or stained it goes. and then I straighten things and stuff I haven't used that isn't seasonal stuff goes. cause if you I seen to rat pat everything all year for just in cases but then never use it. then we start on the walls and i found out that OxyClean works well in cleaning paneling and walls then it the floors and In the kitchen cabinets get cleaned out and as witht he other stuff if I haven't used it and it not seasonal it gets tossed I get loads of stuff given to me throughout the year so I will probably donate alot of my stuff to good will or maybe if there is enough and someother want to go together and have a yard sale I might. There is no easy way about sprin cleaning it is always a pain. unless as you store it you write on the bags and boxes what it is and categorize it as you store it for it will be easier next year but that too is time consuming probably. I suggest getting help of family members. It's amazing what some kids will do to help for a few extra dollars in there pockets.

Hi, RachelleDD. I have not done all of my spring cleaning. But when I get around to it, I will be just as busy as you are. I have a lot of sorting to do and it will take me some time to get them all together. I have not even started yet. I will be glad when I can get all of this done. You will just have to keep doing what you are doing and take your time. It may take long, but once you have it all sorted out, you will be glad when it is all taken care of.
