Well hello everyone. It has been a long time since I have made a post, today I have started my spring cleaning and I think many people have started this, but not many now how to start or where to start. Well I am not a professional but I hope I can help some of you. How I start is by going to the homemakers note book ( I will go into that later for you who don't know what that is) and get the master cleaning list. Here is a great site to get ideas for a note book and cleaning lists ( this is where i got mine)

I also make sure i have a good week to do this, some may not need that long but myself I do. Then get my bucket of cleaner, rags, sponges, steel wool, a old toothbrush ( you just never know) and a bucket of nice warm water. Then I go throw everything in that room, getting rid of things that no longer are needed or waited or just in the wrong room. Then remove any curtains or mats. Then start on the dusting ( if you need to make sure to wear a dust mask and or gloves) making sure to clean all the nicknacks and pictures and just under everything that can be moved. Once that is done I take a small brake to let the room dry up a little and to let things settle. Then I move on to the walls making sure i get those nice and clean. some times it can be hard to get all the dirt and grim off but it will. make sure not to use and harsh cleaners on the walls, that can remove the paint. make sure to dry the walls, then place the clean curtains and move on to the floors. For the spring cleaning i get down on my hands and knees to clean the floor, just to make sure its clean. Then place the cleaned mats back in the room. Then take another brake, you are going to need it after washing them walls. Then i move on to windows getting them nice and clean. Then I get the Lysol out and clean the door knobs and anything else that get used a lot by dirty gross hands. The bathroom and kitchen are done different then most rooms ( for me they are) due to the high traffic that takes place in these rooms.
I will go into the tomorrow.
Have a great one everyone.
