WATER AND VINEGAR TO CLEAN WINDOWS. WIPE WITH NEWSPAPER.
Hire someone to do it. 🙂
My spring cleaning tip is to use the right cleaning chemical for the right job, because if it isn't right, it not only won't clean right, it may do damage to whatever it is that you are cleaning.
Start with one room at a time so you aren't overwhelmed and get rid of as much stuff and clutter in that room as you can before you clean it! Less stuff and less clutter makes for a lot less cleaning time and a better organized house!
My best spring cleaning tip is wait for fall! LOL!
My favorite spring cleaning tip is to use microfiber cloths to dust. They grab the dust and hold it instead of just spreading it around.
We start from the top down - cobwebs, walls, floors - then windows.
make your own cleaner out of vinegar and water. works better than expensive cleaners
My spring cleaning tip (or anytime) is to start cleaning at the top of the room and work your way towards the floor.
I like to hang all of the bedding and rugs outside on the clothesline after I wash them. It works great for curtains too!
When I spring clean everything in the house is cleaned from top to bottom,always start from the top.
My best spring cleaning tip is get rid of clothes you don't wearable and any clutter

My steam mop!!! The timesaver..
Spend time on one room at a time.
Hire someone to clean the bulk of it, then you can focus on the details.
Make a plan - try not to do it all in one day.
I just clean/organize one small area at a time. This prevents me from getting overwhelmed.
Pretend it is winter
My best spring cleaning tip would be to do a little at a time so you don't feel completely overwhelmed!
Do some cleaning everyday - there is no way you can do it all at once, so break it down into a series of manageable jobs. One closet a day is a phenomenal achievement when that closet is done well.
My best tip is to listen to music......I always get more done when I'm having fun 🙂
My best tip is to wash from the top down. That way the dust and dirt that falls, will be cleaned up when it's time to do the bottom. Otherwise, you'd have to wash, wash, wash.
Go slow and be thorough. Take one room at a time. When you are finished with a room, look around and admire all of your hard work.
My spring cleaning tip is 1. Music 2. If you haven't used or needed in the last 2 years let go of it
Use newspaper to clean windows. No streaks!
Clean window ledges of dust first and wipe down before cleaning around the room
I just start in the corner of each room, and work my way around. Open windows, and claen them first.
My best spring cleaning tip is to take all the curtains down, wash them & let them dry outside, love that fresh air smell!
dust off window sils first then vacuum
vacuum (or dust) the ceiling fans FIRST!
Dont try to do it all in one day.Pace yourself.
i like to do a little bit each weekend so that it gets done but not too much at one time.
Put things into bins and label them all.
Sometimes Spring Cleaning can be overwhelming when thinking about it as a whole. Do a little each day, and before you know it, its completed. Also, I like to use real lemon juice (diluted) in my cleaning supplies, the fragrance lasts a long longer.
Don't forget the venthood over your cooktop (cleaning it monthly makes it easier).
I like to add vinegar to my cleaning water. It really makes my floors shine and get everything cleaner.
Best tip... Get someone else to do it..!!!!
Just do it!
my best spring clean up tip is do one room at a time
I just cleaned all of my fans with the vacuum attachment.
Open up the windows-the fresh air helps!
Get rid of the stuff that you haven't used in awhile. This will make it easier to clean because it won't be in your way anymore!
I start in one corner and I keep on going till everything is finished. One corner is a better view than the whole house.

My tip is to listen to music while cleaning. It lifts my mood, and it keeps me focused.
Clean under the bed, sweep the walls and ceiling and change to light, spring colored sheets and blankets!
\ake a list, put some music on and take your time. Don't stress out. Tomorrow is another day.
My tip is to put on some lively music and take your time cleaning. Reward yourself for your accomplishments often.
My apartment is so small that I actually clean once a week and so I don't even call it spring cleaning anymore. My best tip is to get organized, getting all my cleaning supplies together, open up all the windows and dust first,then use the vacuum. Thanks for this chance to win! connie danielson

My Spring Cleaning tip is put music on and start from the top clean to the bottom.

My best tip is to steam clean the carpets with amoinia
To clean walls, I start with a clean sponge mop, making sure that excess water is squeezed out. It makes the job so much quicker and they're evenly cleaned. Just change the mop bucket water often. Especially if there's a smoker in the house.
Sterlize your planting pots before reusing them.
I like doing one room at a time is the best way to clean in my house even on weekly basics

Start early and use a checklist!

My best cleaning tip is do one room at a time. I'm moving so I'm doing my spring cleaning at the same time. Thank you for the chance 🙂
For me, the best thing is to bring a trash, cleaning supplies and some baskets in each room and do one room at a time. That way you're not running from one room to another and getting lost!

Take care of donating gently used clothes, toys and shoes! Clean under furniture!
I use a pumice stone on porcelain and marble. Works great.
