The first official day of spring was this week! With warmer weather and sunshine in the forecast, it’s beginning to feel a lot like springtime. We love this season of renewal as we eagerly anticipate the blossoming flowers and trees. One thing we don’t love, though, is spring cleaning. After months of winter, it is time to clean out and organize! Spring cleaning doesn’t have to be a hassle and we’ve got five cleaning tips to help you tackle those projects:
- Spring Cleaning Shortcuts: Some areas in our homes can be tough to clean. Don’t fret! Real Simple magazine offers a great set of cleaning shortcuts for trouble spots, like curtains and windows. These tricks will help you avoid hours of work.

- Freshen Up the Fridge: If you’re like us, you always forget about the fridge when it comes to spring cleaning. Focusing on your fridge is important because it can conceal many nasty germs. Luckily, the Today show has six fridge cleaning hacks, like using a mild detergent to clean shelves, that make this project quick and easy.
