Spring Cleaning

I have started a little bit of it but not very much. We put plastic up on our windows this winter and we have went ahead and taken it down and got out our bikes(if that can be considered spring cleaning) but other than that I haven't done anything else. There are quite a few things that we want to get done this spring/summer. I need to clean all the windows, paint the kids rooms and my craft room, put new gravel in the driveway, plant some plants around my garage, retile the kitchen floor, and fix the steps on both sides of the house. There isn't really a time limit on the few things just want them done by the end of the summer. There are a few things that have a time limit only because of a few of the things that we will be doing throughout the summer but not a big rush on things.

I started my spring cleaning last week. Because my older daughter had off school for the week to give me a little help and so I didn't have to leave the house. Our house needs a major spring clean. I have thrown away tons of stuff this week. Other family memebers have lived in this house and left there stuff here for storage for up to 10 years. So my goal is getting rid of it, giving it back, or putting it in the basement. So we can finally make this "our" home. Oh and this week I am organizing this and that. Like throwing away spices over 6 months, putting away winter clothes, and mopping all of my wood floors. Lots to do for me. My spring cleaning will probably keep going through out all of spring lol.

I've made a start on my spring cleaning and managed to clear the spare bedroom of clutter. I'd like to be able to clear the main bedroom next and sort out some of the clothes in my wardrobe too. My house is an on-going clearance at the moment though, there is always more to clear and tidy.

OH! You're so organized. If I get the top of the fridge washed off before my son visits in June I'll be doing good. Oh, wait I have to clean out the spare room so they'll have a place to sleep too. Bummer! If I don't get the fridge cleaned it's ok, 'cause he's tall enough he doesn't have to have a ladder or chair to reach it. I'll just put him to work. Really I don't do spring cleaning any more. When I'm able or when it gets so cluttered I can't stand it any more I will clean one room a week top to bottom, but I usually run out of steam before I get it all done.

We're in the process of drywalling the living room so everything is a muddy, dusty mess - I am ITCHING to give everything a good clean! We took the carpet out of the living room, hallway and staircase before we started so at least the dust can just be vacuuming and mopped up without too much of a problem. I've started trying to get the basement organized and I'm trying to donate/throw out as much stuff as I can before it gets nice out and I just want to be in the yard. Hopefully this weekend the sanding will be done and I can really start with the spring cleaning, but it's kinda hard to prioritize it when we're in the middle of renovations!

hell0! yes, I have started with it but i am not in a rush so that's why I am doing it slowly and have made my list with all the things that must be done and all the place that I must clean the most, because they are not cleaned out since years :)

I've been decluttering a little at a time. Or maybe a lot at a time! I took a whole trunkful of things to a charity a couple of days ago and already have a few more things to get rid of. I'm going to do a little painting and then need to wash windows. It's hard to find enough time to do it all because I want to be out getting the garden ready, too.

Well, here in India summer is already breathing down our neck and spring was here and gone by early March so I’ve kind of finished off with my spring cleaning around that time. What overwhelms me about spring cleaning is mostly the piles of woolens that I have to wash, fold and then store away. Being born and brought up in summer climate and loving summer, I am naturally disinclined towards woolens and winter and the laziness it brings with it so you can well imagine the amount of household cleaning that’s accumulated over two months. I am done with most of it…cleaning the kitchen inside out, dusting out the cupboards, sunning the clothes and generally cleaning the house….only thing left to be done is stashing away the pile of washed woolens lying in a heap. Its been weeks now but I just cant seem to find enough time to carry them all and arrange them into their places inside the cupboard…lazy me, I guess LOL

for me it is just hard for me to keep up with the day to day stuff but every couple of months we do a major cleaning (like washing floors, carpets etc.) right now i am so busy with planning a baby shower that the outside spring cleaning will have to wait.

Even though I just moved into my house 3 weeks ago, there was still spring cleaning to do. One of the first things I did was clean the windows, still have a couple to do, I love having my curtains/blinds open on sunny days, I can't stand looking through dirt lol. Since I'm just getting moved in and my stuff has been packed away in storage, there really isn't any major spring cleaning to do. The other main thing to do is getting more work done in the yard, fertilize it and plant some flowers in the flowerbeds.

Hi Doran. I'll be doing my spring cleaning tomorrow. Focus would be my room and my computer table. For my room, I'll do some sweeping and mopping of the floor, change my bedsheet and pillow cases, clean up my closet, bookshelves and the lights/electric fans. I might also need to call someone to do some maintenance cleaning on my airconditioner. After that, I'll sort my files on my computer tables, the dvds, cd's and other stuff that are all piled up here. I like doing this. It's meditating. LOL.

Hi Dorann, So you are on for a general spring cleaning. i know you are tired now so sit down, relax and i will give you a neck and back massage friend. can you feel it friend? take a deep breath and relax. are you now ready to welcome summer? here in our country we are already in the peak of tired summer season.

Ho ho ho . . . I had to chuckle when I read "Spring Cleaning" - not so much the Spring part - but the cleaning - hee hee!! This has been an ongoing project for us since a couple Springs ago! I look at this "stuff" and it's not junk . . . we just have too much stuff and not enough storage space as we don't have a big place. Well, now that things are a bit easier (only a bit), I'm just starting to get rid of the extra things that we really truly don't need. First, because we are tight on moola, I'm trying to sell off a few of our things - even if for a few bucks. Getting some cash motivates me to sell more things. And the rest I know I can get rid of via Craigslist or Freecyle or just taking it somewhere (which would be faster). I just want to make our place look more presentable if anything . . . so I can feel good (comfortable) when someone comes over or my daughter can have playdates here without worrying about kids tripping over things. Time frame? By next week would be nice (but ahhhhh, I know it's not going to happen!!). Happy Spring cleaning!

I will start mine the second weekend in April. My husband and I are both in school right now and I am almost done with mine. I finish April 9th. I cannot wait to start Spring cleaning. I have a lot of things to go through that are in the shed. I also need to go through the closets, clean the bathrooms, the kitchen, the dining room, the living room, the computer room and the bedroom. If the snow keeps on melting like it has been I hope by the middle of the month (April) I can start planting.

I really haven't started my Spring cleaning yet but I really do want to get around to it. I cleaned some things out of my grandparents house this past weekend but at my apartment on the other hand, I haven't really done much. I hope I can get around to it soon enough. I'm sure there are so many things I could stand to get rid of that we have yet gotten rid of.

My room certainly needs a good tidy/clear out. I keep putting it off but hope to get it done with soon because I need to clear space by my desk as I hope to start a distance learning course in criminology soon.

hi dorannmwin oh boy do I have it made, the care givers come in here and make our beds, change the linen several times a week, vacumn every day, and clean our bathroom, and we just sit here, well reallY I am typing while my roomie spends most of her time lying around and listening to music. But he he, I even get my clothes washed and folded and all for me, life of leisure and with out mylot it would be plain boredom. Mylot is my lifeline to the outer world. At least we have again got a driver so we can go shopping once a week. I am going out with my best friend when she comes here from work. so no more spring house cleaning but I have done my share when we had our own apartment.

Started working on some spring cleaning but haven't gotten very far. My plan is to gather a bunch of stuff that just needs to go away for a church yard sale in a couple of weeks. Then the clothes that I no longer wear are going to the goodwill. Once I get rid of the "junk" we no longer use around the house, the house will be pretty clean. I am going to borrow my sisters carpet/furniture cleaner and try to get out some small stains my boys have left me but other than that I don't worry about a little dust here and there. I will get it on the next trip through with the dust rag.
