Spring Cleaning
Maywood Spring Cleaning began Tuesday, we stripped the couches of their covers, emptied the refrigerator, lazy-susan, and cabinets. We also swept, mopped, and cleaned both bathrooms. Took a break to danced a little. And even emptied the fireplace, opened some windows, and celebrated the warm weather.
Spring Cleaning Tips:
1. Never save it all for Spring Cleaning.
(Keep up with routine tidying all winter long.)
2. Always have some music.
(Make sure it's something upbeat, dancing while you work will make the process more bearable.)
3. Don't do it alone!
(You'll be overwhelmed and calling in reinforcements is not a sign of weakness. Try calling that lingering party guest, they've done their fair share of dirtying and won't mind helping you clean.)
4. Take breaks.
(Stop and think about what you want to clean next, have a bite to eat, five minute dance party, whatever. Just don't continue for hours on end, you'll become very cranky.)
5. Have something to look forward to at the end.
(Go out to dinner, go to a movie, just get out of the house you spent all day cleaning.)
Good luck!
