Do you do spring house cleaning

I am spring cleaning also.....since I live by myself the only room that really gets to be a big mess is my craft room and right now I am not touching it until next week. I am going to my friends in Wisconsin for the weekend....and when I get back I am going to go in there and reorganize! paint or paper....then do my bedroom....then the outside painting.....then.....relax.

Hi 2004cqui, It's called a Spring clean for a reason! Only takes place once a year! LOL! I do like to keep a clean house, I dust and hoover downstairs practically every day or every other day at least. Upstairs gets a hoover once a week and a dust maybe twice. Bathrooms are cleaned every day or every other day. Floors are mopped once a week, this time of year beds are changed once a fortnight but will do them weekly when the weather gets warmer. We shower daily so it's not a major issue if the beds are left a little longer. Now, a Spring clean for me is literally turning the place upside down and inside out and will take a few days. Curtains are all washed and hung immediately so I don't have to iron them. Beds will be moved and hoovered under them (I do do this every few months too as well as hoovering mattresses and wipe skirting boards) but I'll also turn the mattresses round. Wardrobes will get a good clean out, I'll go to town on the kitchen cupboards and appliances like the oven and fridge. Everything is kept sort of ticking over and I never let the place get manky to the point that when the Spring clean comes round that the place is filthy, but I just love a clean house! IrishGal77 :)

I "like" to have a sparkling clean house but it never happens! Sometimes I feel like I spend so long cleaning it and trying to tidy everyone else's mess, I just give up after a while and leave it. At least that way, I can see that I've done something when I do get round to it! I try to do a thorough clean as often as I can but that's not always very often. I've usually got loads of work to do and then, if I take a break from that, I don't want to spend it cleaning the house! I also try to keep the house clutter-free but that's difficult when my other half seems to be constantly bringing more clutter and never getting rid of the old stuff! I counted 11 cans of deodorant of his in the bathroom! At the minute though, I'm working and studying and my partner isn't really doing much at all so I leave the housework to him. Then I do it when I've got time!

I would love to have a sparkling clean house all of the time but I do not have the time. I am doing good to get the every day things done. I have started the spring cleaning. With that I have cleaned out closets and dressers for everyone in the family. I still have to go through the guest bedroom closet where extra clothes are stored. I am going to sell the extra clothes at a yard sale or give them to Good Will. I have a 2 year old toddler and 5 month old twins so my time is limited. I am doing good to get done with all of the laundry and get it put away. I wish I could be up to par on my cleaning but I am not.

I clean when I feel the mood to do so. At this moment I am cleaning up my house and scrubbing too but not everywhere. The shining sun shows more dust and also I am packing to leave to Hungary. So I like it to be clean when I return. I am not the way I was years ago. cleaning and scrubbing whole day on and feel deadly tired. Each day a bit mostly what is bothering me most.

I love your statement, "I am no domestic goddess!" That describes me completely. As I get older I clean more and more, but I still hate doing so. I appreciate the way my home looks and feels when its clean, but its such a pain to get it that way and keep it that way. The way I see it, I wasn't put on this earth to [cook or] clean. Therefore, I won't dedicate my valuable time to doing so. I do not live in a dirty home by any means, and I cook and clean when I have to. The rest of my time is spent working, caring for my child & dog, and having fun with family and friends. I only have one life to live, so I'm going to live it, not spend it cleaning every day.

Yes I do like my home to be clean all the time. My whole house is always clean even the dishes are washed and put away when they are used. I dont throw my clothes on the floor they are always put away. I dust every other day and vacuum once a week. The only thing I do for spring cleaning is shampoo all the carpets in the house wash all the windows from inside and out, and wash all my walls.

i have washed some draps but i dont go crazy, i just dont have the energy to do that. i try to do a little every day and my house is not the cleanest but neat and tidy.

I do vacuum the floor everyday and swept too.. but when i feel lazy i just skip sweeping the floor..hihi and i do dust off every stuff i have everyday.. im not really a clean person but i just dont like dust..and we just had two bedrooms.. one living room and kitchen so its pretty easy to clean.. but our lawn is kinda big but i dont really bother to clean it sometimes..haha

Well, dear friend, talking about housecleaning, you found me, probably the right person. I want to immediately point out though that I love living in the clean throughout the year. not only for the spring! I do not live alone, but with parents and a younger brother. I like, and gives me great satisfaction to do the housework. If need a few tweaks. I also like doing the dishes, and to do such work, are very quick! Like now, I should give to the white walls of the chamber of my little brother, I should do next month (April) as I get enough money to buy the material. Live in cleanliness, in my opinion it is much, much better than!

Oh I love spring cleaning! I like a clean house, but I don't go all out on it all the time. Spring cleaning is time for really getting down and getting things all clean. Like you said, cleaning windows, deep cleaning the carpet, and paying attention to all those places you'd normally skip over. Cleaning out the closets and getting rid of things that are no longer of use.
