Spring time

I am not going to say this is really something I am going to do myself (smile), but I know that it is something I need to do.

Spring cleaning appears to me to not only be a ritual (where did it start anyway), but it does make sense. Over the winter, things can tend to be put off, so the spring and fall seem to be good times to catch up on that sort of stuff.

Also, it makes sense if you may consider selling. A good deep cleaning is step one if you are thinking of selling your home. So, while you are going around cleaning, try to put yourself into the eyes of a potential buyer. What would they like to see?

Another good investment is a black light. No, not for some wild party once you get your home really clean. If you have pets, like we do, they have accidents on the carpet. You rush to clean it up and do the best job you can. But did you really get it all up? The black light will reveal the truth. We recently got one and I was SHOCKED at what I say. Not just the pet spots, but just general dust showing up in areas that I never thought to look.

Here is a good article on this to help kick start your brain on what needs to get done.
