Spring is here and you often hear it is time to Spring Clean your home. A clean start this spring can be so refreshing. But do you feel like you can’t get in the mood? Like you just didn’t want to clean? Here are some things I have found to be helpful to Spring Clean your home.
Set The Mood
I put on my favorite music and I let it radiate through the house. Whatever makes you feel good. It can be an ice coffee or a smoothie. I get cleaning supplies. Lately, I have been making everything homemade and my Dr. is so impressed by my bloodwork and numbers on paper but that’s for another article.
Declutter
Ugh! That closet, that junk drawer, the clutter place we just want to forget, we all have it! It’s time to get through it and get rid of things that we don’t need or use. Do you need 500 pens? Meh, probably not. What about that old pacifier you took from your last kid? Whatever that is in there it all needs to be removed and gone through.
