I don't know about all of you, but I'm in full spring cleaning mode. I spent last weekend cleaning out the garage and cleaning up the yard and soon I will be tackling the house. We're planning on having a yard sale over Memorial Day Weekend, so I'm psyched to get rid of a ton of junk. I feel like we have very little room in our house, but in reality it's a 3 br split level with a finished basement so there's plenty of room. We just have so much CRAP crammed everywhere. Seriously, right now my dining room has TWO hutch cabinets in it! One was a recent gift, a family heirloom and the other was the old one which now needs to be disposed of. I'm such a pack rat, but I love the feeling of purging stuff every once in awhile. It's so freeing.
I'd love to hear all of your strategies for tackling spring cleaning. Do you go room by room and purge and clean at the same time, or purge the entire house and then clean? Do you try to do it all in one day or do you extend it over several weekends? How in-depth do you go? I know some people who wash the walls and remove all area rugs to be aired outside (I might do this this year!!).
Also-what are your "secret" tips for cleaning? I just read one- lining a shower door with a thin coat of furniture polish every three months or so will keep it from getting scummy.
