Sponsor Giveaway | Mary Ann Moss

spring cleaning to me means getting rid of everything that I don't absolutely love or need......I have been not shopping at all this winter and just using up what I have. when the clutter is gone open up the windows, put on some good music, get out the cleaners, light a spring candle and start cleaning......

in the spring i like to take my broom and put a towel over the brissels and wipe the cowwebs down. i hope i win. would love to win. have a great weekend.

Funnily enough I need to get my house in order ready for the new arrival in 6 weeks so I'm reading websites to get tips and so far I think just starting one job at a time would be mine.
Great giveaway as usual Ali

My tip would have to be plan for one area at a time, one room at a time.. start by purging all those spots that fill up with "stuff" first... like sideboards.. cupboards.. kitchen junk drawers.. then do the room.... it makes me feel very productive to know all those spots people can't see are clean and organized too.

White vinegar and salt, perfect scrub that is gentle on most surfaces

Well, I think most people know this tip. My husband makes fun of me. He says I clean "down" not "up" -- I start on the top shelf when dusting because the dust and clutter fall down to the lower shelves. The floor is last because it is the biggest shelf. Seems obvious to me but apparently not to him! Thanks so much for the chance to win. I really need to use up those scraps. I definitely cannot throw them away!

Mine is "be not afraid" (of getting rid of things!!!) Thanks for the chance!

I think i don't have a spring cleaning tip, sorry! But i would love to win this fabolous class! Thanks.

Instead of doing a marathon spring cleaning session, I every weekend (since during the week I work outside the home) I dedicate myself to a detailed organization and cleaning of an area of the house. That way the process becomes more manageable. A big trash bag also helps.

My favorite tip, throw it all away and buy new!!!

I turn on my favorite playlist... open all the windows... and try to clean/dance at the same time!

I try to purge as often as I can.
This class sounds great!

Sounds like a really fun class! My spring cleaning tip is to use wadded up newspaper to clean windows, whether using commercial or homemade (green!) window cleaner. It makes windows squeaky clean and reuses something you already have.

This sounds like such a fun class! My favorite part about spring cleaning is opening all the windows. The house seems cleaner and fresher without even doing any actual cleaning yet. :)

My tip is get rid of clothes you haven't used in one year. I used to have things in my closet from 15 years ago. I felt so much lighter when I gave those away!

I also use the box theory. If I put something in the box and don't need it again for six months--I either throw it away or donate it to our local thrift store. Works for me!

My spring cleaning tip is to just get it done (something I have been neglecting lately)! Planning and do-ing are completely different things and I just need to organize closets, clean all corners of this house, thin out toys, and organize, organize, organize. But unless I just get to it, it will continue to just be a list item! Time to get it done!

I would rather play outside in the Spring, so I try to stay ahead of cleaning on a daily basis. This way the house is always ready for pop in friends and relatives, and cleaning is never a big chore.

My spring cleaning tip is the 5 SECOND RULE... to say YES NO or MAYBE. I hold an item (clothes, toys, or dishes) and quickly decide. I revisit the MAYBE pile the next day or week as I think of someone that could benefit from the item... it makes me happy that someone else can use the stuff I no longer need. I just cleaned my basement and all my closets over christmas and spring break...I ended up taking 4 truckloads to Goodwill... It was a great bonding experience with the kids as they got involved too.

Part of my spring cleaning is organizing my spring wardrobe. Everything comes out of the closet. Clean the closet. Try on the clothes, get rid of stuff I don't wear, make a list of things to buy. THEN put the clothes away.
