Clean & Declutter
Spring cleaning is popular this time of
year. It's a great way to start fresh and let
go of the unnecessary extras. Something
about the dramatic change of season makes
us want to reevaluate our lifestyle and
necessities. These changes open the door to
unlimited possibilities.
Sometimes, spring cleaning feels more
doable when you set aside a day for heavy-
duty cleaning! Start by opening up all the
windows on a sunny day, then roll up your
sleeves and turn on some tunes. Go room
by room, think about the items that room
needs, what items can be put into storage
and what can be thrown away.
Once you've cleared your space, zoom in
on areas that get neglected on your weekly
clean up, such as window sills, the tops of
bookcases, etc. Give it all a good scrub.

Pro Tips:
• Take some time to research preferred
cleaning methods for your furniture. The
last thing you want to do is ruin your
valuables by cleaning it the incorrect
way.
• Invest in microfiber cleaning cloths –
they're worth it.
• Use as many natural cleaning solutions
as possible. Some of our worst toxins come
from the cleaning products we use.
It can seem like a daunting never-ending
list of chores, but I promise that once you're
done, you will feel the difference. Research
suggests that cleaner homes promote
productivity, help you focus and can help
reduce stress.
