The real story behind spring cleaning

I know spring is coming to a close but I still have bunches to do in the spring cleaning department. I'm finally feeling the motivation. So far I have: washed the curtains in our house, washed the carpets in the living room, dusted a bunch, and cleaned the refrigerator (I do that more than annually my dears). I had quite the time of it. When I was putting the curtains back up on their rods I ended up tearing one day and almost badly injuring myself. When I washed the carpets (baby pooped on them YAY) I left the wet vacuum on the carpet over night. Well, I guess our vacuum is broken because a gallon of water leaked into our carpet (it was sopping). At least it was clean water and not the brown crap I sucked up the night before. Then when I cleaned the refrigerator I couldn't remember how to put things back together, that took some time. I still have a list of things I need to do. Like: scrub the floors really good, scrub the walls, doors, and cabinets in the house, clean our bar chairs and dining chairs, wash the washer, and there are probably more things I ought to do. I am afraid that something catastrophic might happen when I finish up my cleaning. Such as, using the wrong cleaner for the chairs and ruining their varnish (or whatever it is). I guess that wouldn't be the worst though- maybe I could get new ones. Another possibility would be using too much elbow grease on the walls or cabinets and "magic erase" the pain away.

What do you do for spring cleaning? Give me some ideas because I am sure I am missing something obvious.

Hope you guys have better luck than I am.

  1. Move all the furniture, even the beds to make sure you get rid of all the sleeping spiders and to kill any eggs (spider) before they hatch. mom

  2. I haven't really started...I suppose I should. my excuse is that I'm waiting for the yard to be under control and the garden planted. That's valid, right? :-)

    1. Sounds good to me. I dont really do yard work so it makes sense you have to do one project at a time.
