Windows are first on the list for me.

Detail both daily drivers.

Scrub down garage floor.

April will ring in the indoor spring cleaning routine.

I think the SUV could use a cleaning. :0)

The whole house! And lastly the front porch on a warm day! I'm hoping to find someone to do my windows this year!

Well it has already begun here since I am off work this week. I have went through all of my kid's books and made 3 piles; one to give away, one for my nephews, one to keep. We need to clean a gutter out that I think is clogged, put up a new door.

I am having some work done due to a leak and so I am picking out paint colors today. I will have them paint what insurance will cover and then probably paint the rest myself.

One other item is to take our shower door off, give it a good cleaning and redo the caulking in our shower.

Also, we got a new grill for Christmas and we have not got it out of the box yet due to the cold weather. I think it will be unpacked this weekend!

The list goes on and on and on and on and on.................

One of the benefits of a tiny (600+ft) apartment is that it is difficult to put off doing anything for very long so there is really not a 'spring cleaning' facing me.. The only time intensive chore is to take the copper pots down and polish them.

Oh man. I really need to clean, and to renovate, my good ol' windows. That's my Spring, Summer, and Fall cleaning list!

Everything, sunroom especially.

I do Flylady, and it's a really good way to stay on top of cleaning and purging. But windows are something I need to tackle. Spring has sprung here, so the flowerbeds have been calling.

Spring cleaning. Hmmmm. Must Google that. Or maybe DH knows what it is. (hahaha) Seriously, plenty on the list.

I have to attack my drapes...we already went through the whole house and did all the light fixtures. When the weather gets better we have some cleaning and straightening to do in the attic. And our store room needs a major clean and toss.

Spring cleaning starts for me when I shut down the fireplace insert for the season. Everything gets vacuumed really well, under the beds, sofas, etc. Wipe down all the wood furniture, doors and cabinets with Old English.

I should have started already but sick family held me back.

I do one room at a time and allow myself 4 days per room. Wipe walls down, windows, ect ect...everything gets wiped down and or vacumed. I had hoped to paint ceilings this year but maybe not. My adult sons will be around to help me since moving furniture out to clean behind isn't somethingI can do any llonger.

I figure it will take me at least 35 days to do the inside...I like to be done when the great weather starts so I can than do outdoor work. My rock garden is a total mess.

mamapinky0 I really like that idea. I think a lot of us feel we have to clean the whole house at once. I like the idea of taking my time and spending a couple of days doing one room. :)

I need to thoroughly clean the kitchen cabinets including the items on top of them, shampoo carpets, I’d like to do windows, sills, and blinds too.

With the weather either being too cold or rainy to work outside, I am actually running out of closets and drawers to clean and organize. Started some seeds inside today. Really hope for some nice weather. The yard really needs Spring cleaning.

The yard....but first...the windows!!!!

I don't do seasonal cleaning, nor do I have a list. I just clean, all the time... one area at the time. Yesterday when the blinds on one window wouldn't work to turn open, I stepped on the bed, to get up there to the "turney thingy" and messed with it. I then realized, I never cleaned these blinds since I moved in.

Thus, they came off, got laid out and vacuumed, and washed off slat by slat.

This is what I mean, by clean one area at the time. ;)

Moni who rather rides her bike or works in the yard in the upcoming spring

Once it gets dry enough, I'll do some yard work. Shampoo carpets, and run the self cleaning oven, are jobs, I like to do, once I can open the windows.

Once we can open windows here( still 2' of snow),the rugs will be shampooed,the dusting high up taken care of,duct work and registers cleaned up,lights and fans vacuumed and washed and blankets out onto the line for a freshening(unless washing is needed as well).

The entire place....right now I am packing to move. I don't know when that will happen but when it does, I want to be ready.

Preparing to move ahead of time is a really good idea. Moving can be so stressful and a lot of people don't realize how much they have. Best to get an early start and get rid of things you don't need because you want to and not because you're in a panic.

My yard man and I have been doing major closet/drawer/basement clean outs since the first of the year. A little more in the basement and my closet, and we'll be finished. I may splurge and have all my windows washed when the spring rains are over.

It's already started within my 4 walls. With the help of Kristyn my granddaughter, the drapes were cleaned and rehung on 2 of 4 Windows. Windows vacuumed out corner to corner then sill washed. Window blinds vacuumed and wiped down. Panes cleaned too. Pulled out bed and nitestands, cleaned baseboards and sprayed for bugs as a preventive move. Vacuumed all corners on bed side of room, top to bottom. Vacuumed under bed and nitestamds before moving them back. Stripped bed, rotated mattress, then fresh linens. Wiped down all electric cords too. Next will be couch side of room.

I REALLY need to get my garage cleared out once and for all.

I just told my DH last weekend that I wanted our new project to be a deep deep cleaning in every room of the house. Each weekend we’re picking 1 room to go through top to bottom, inside and out, windows, closets, drawers and all. He’s grumbling, but I’m excited about loosing some of the hidden clutter.

I already started a few weeks ago. I went through my bedroom and it looks like it's supposed to: clean and organized. The only thing I missed was the ceiling fan, which will be done today while my sheets are in the washing machine. I cleaned out the utensil drawer in the kitchen and replaced the tray they go in. It's bamboo so it looks so much nicer than the 70's style plastic tray I had. Lets just say in 3 days of steady decluttering, we filled my recycling bin to the top and the garbage bin to the top. They're the ones the side loader garbage trucks pick up weekly. I just got to the point where we have too much "stuff" and decided to clear out a bunch. After I have one more coffee, I'll be at it again.

All your posts are inspiring, and I like Mamas approach....time to clean up here!

Lukki, you will be surprised at what you will find! All kinds of forgotten "treasures."

I did a deep cleaning before we left town so shouldn't have to do a big spring cleaning this year. What will need to be done when we get home is washing the windows and the vehicles.

I started going room by room years ago as its not as daunting a task. I can get off target easily.. as you know even doing one room at a time it always seems like the entire house is a mess. LOL. I'm not good emotionally dealing with disorganization. So seasonal cleaning is a nightmare for me. LOL.

Think I mentioned awhile back that I'm giving the boys hubs bigger bedroom and hubs the smaller room....this will be my hardest project since all of hubs furniture and belongings will need to be moved to the family room in order to move the boys stuff in...AND it will have to stay in the family room a few days while I clean every inch of the room and than clean the boys empty room. I may need a bottle of strong spirit's to keep my spirits in good condition. Haha

I'm currently working on decluttering and organizing the basement, which had just become a messy catch-all over the past 25 years. Maybe I'll even paint it and get some new lighting and nice flooring in -- I have my eye on some vinyl planks.

I finished the fall window washing just before Thanksgiving -- it can't be time to do it again, can it? Tell me it isn't!

I'm getting new gutters and new gutter covers soon which I hope will eliminate the thrice yearly climb up to clean the old gutter covers of the packed -under-the-shingle-edges leaves and debris (perforated flat covers served only to keep stuff out of the downspout-- the covers themselves clogged if not cleaned!)

Also getting a new window in the garage so that will get a very thorough de-cluttering, maybe even a power washing!

I do go through each room, moving furniture, washing all woodwork, washing walls in areas of hand contact, sweeping off cobwebs, washing slipcovers (once a year unless unusually soiled), wiping the wood floors, making sure all nooks and crannies like on light switches, light fixtures, corners, doorknobs are cleaned of grime.

I vacuum the blinds and curtains regularly, and rarely fry foods, so washing the curtains is only done in fall on windows that are open in summer -- when I also wipe the blinds with cleaner.

Last night at about 9:30, for some stupid reason I opened the drawer in my stove and pulled out all my baking dishes and while it took 2 loads, washed them all in the dishwasher and cleaned out the drawer. This morning we pulled the drawer right out and I cleaned under the stove. Because I did a lot of "clutter" cleaning 2 weeks ago, cleaning today was so much easier. My bedroom has clean fresh sheets on it again. No dirty laundry. And I had my windows wide open today to air out the house. We have about 2 1/2 feet of snow in the yard but it's not that cold. It was so nice to air it out. this is my son leaving last night after work. I wish his son was behind him, then you could get a better idea of how deep it is. My son is 6'5" tall. And it snowed more over night. I won't get my yardwork done until next Fall if this keeps up. That's how long it'll take it all to melt. lol

I thought about this post and decided to set the boys up with sorting thru books today...they are boxing up the ones they will donate to Children's hospital, others to the thrift store. They will keep all the special ones and series. They have a LOT of books..good to get this job over with.

Debbie I have my sheets washing now, every five days....used to be more often. Haha

My woodworking shop is a mess. It got cold in the middle of some projects and I dropped everything for now. Soon, that'll be my first priority.

Won't be spring here for another month or more. Usually just about that time I get the energy and drive to do a really great spring cleaning. I clean every inch of every room--ceiling, walls, windows, closets, drawers, furniture, etc. etc. as well as fix anything that needs it, caulk cracks, touch up paint, etc. I usually do 2-3 rooms/month for a couple months. Anal, yes, but well worth it to me! Nothing like a really clean house, and I consider it good exercise.

I hope I am feeling well enough soon to begin working on this new yard. I am very impressed with the azeleas. We have a LOT of them. And we have some very pretty roses. I am excited to see a hydrangea. I have a small round bed that I will plant the bulbs I bought from the other house in. I want to add a little red bud tree and a little magnolia tree. We don't have nearly the trees here that we had at the old house. We can't plant in the front yard because they put the aerobic septic buried lines there under the sod. Unfortunate because we need some there.

In the house I don't have a lot to do. Put up the art work is about it. Everything has a place so far since we have so little. I need to get my new office set up. I was starting that when I got sick. My main project currently is changing my address with every one.
