It’s springtime and that means it’s time to open the windows after a long winter and air out the house. Spring cleaning is something that’s been done for decades as the weather warms up and the house gets a good work over. There’s more to spring cleaning than just cleaning out the refrigerator and cleaning the drapes.
I’ve put together a collection of cleaning tips, homemade household cleaning recipes and even some free printable labels to use. Are you ready to get started?
