Spring Clean

I'm compiling a list of things that often don't get done as often as they should for some final spring cleaning this weekend. Maybe my list will help someone else:


  1. 1. The bed - it's probably time for you to wash your mattress pad on a hot-water sanitary setting (kill all the dust bunnies), and if you're taking that off you might as well rotate the mattress, and while you're at it you should probably vacuum under the bed. And wash those random socks that you'll most likely find under there.

  2. If you have one of those one-piece shower/tub fiberglass surrounds, you should probably clean that ledge around the top.

  3. Dust your lamp shades, and take a damp cloth to glass shades on your other lighting fixtures. They literally become hot messes.

  4. Vacuum the lint from your dryer lint trap.


And here's a good tip - start from the top down. Clean light fixtures, wipe upper cabinets, clean counters, dust tables...and THEN vacuum/sweep/mop. There's no use doing the floors before anything else.



This weekend there are 30% off cardigans at The Limited, free shipping at Lands End Canvas (become a FB fan to get a code), and deals on fragrances at VS. I have a $15 Off Any Purchase coupon for The Limited which I plan on using for an Outback Red tank that I tried on last week.
