Spring Cleaning!

Something to know about me.... I am a complete neat freak!
I love to keep our house clean and neat. I take such pride in keeping a beautiful home <3
(eventually I will post some pictures when I figure this whole blog thing out)
I just makes my heart melt when my husband comes home to a fresh clean home and just looks at me with a smile on his face and says "I love you more than you'll ever know"
So, back to Spring cleaning....I started a few weeks ago by cleaning out closets and drawers first. Packing up clothes etc and donating them.
We have a VA donation program where they come to our house and pick up anything, all I have to do is make a call!
After clearing out the old stuff you can start to really get into the cleaning.
I find that if you stick with one room at a time it works best.
Take down curtains, have them drycleaned or wash them your self, clean windows, blinds or whatever type of window treatments you may have.
Then work your way down to baseboards then floors etc.
Dust everything (I do this every week anyway) and get rid of those tacky knick knacks!!
I can not stand knick knacks! All they are is gawdy dust catchers.
Move furniture and clean it too....polish it up,clean the fabrics, or freshen it up by changing out something.
Add a fresh coat of paint to any room to really make it feel like a whole new space!

I would love to hear some good tips or some tried and true ways of how you clean.....ideas???

Anyway, enough of my rambling....I am heading out to pick up some paint for our office space!!
Happy Spring Cleaning!! xoxo
