Sponsor Giveaway | Mary Ann Moss

I just cleaned my windows (use a squeege, one horizontal pass at top to stop drips). I can't believe how much better I can see the plants in the backyard. Makes me so happy!

Oh, wait - spring cleaning tip. Just start! :)
You'll be pleased to get something done and then you'll have momentum behind you.

I use vinegar and water to clean windows. Wear gloves and wipe with old newspaper. Cheap, no chemicals, and works great. I also put vinegar and a little water in a spray bottle for the floor and baseboards. Ants leave a trail for their friends to follow, and vinegar erases that. Ants also hate the smell. It may not be lemon- but I can open the windows and smell the country air while I am doind it.

Starts with lots of fresh air. Open windows, windows hmm-mmm-mmm they do need cleaning don't they.... and away we go,,,,

wow, this class looks COOL! MY Spring cleaning tip? If you are cleaning out your supplies, stash, etc....donate it to a local school, to the ART TEACHER {like me}...we REALLY appreciate those types of things, especially with all these budget crunches..trying to come up with enough supplies for 800 students can be challenging, to say the least....Thanks for the giveaway!

I always change my dried flower arrangements that are around my home to spring colored flowers and I also change all the comforters in the bedrooms to spring colors. Thanks for the chance to win the online class!!

Hi!
My favorites are the light and the sun, windows open, green, water, flowers ... love
Petonets xoxo

Was just thinking of the cleaning because the shower stall needs major work. I like to open windows and air everything out. I find it "disinfects" the winter crud best.

The best start to spring cleaning is opening all the windows and letting the fresh air pour in. That's so invigorating it helps me get in the mood to start - one room at a time.

Here in the south, the best spring cleaning tip I can give you is wait til pollin season is over. You can't beat it! Pollin is everywhere! It's like a fine yellow snow from mid March til the end of April. The best you can hope to do is keep those little yellow footprints wiped up fron your floor. Thanks for the give-away and chance to win.

Far and away the best spring cleaning tip if you haven't touched it or used it in over a year - toss it!

I take a few minutes before starting the day to jot down specific things to tackle on each floor (I have a 3-level townhouse). I break these down into do-able things, and things that really need to get done that day (in order to progress - like to have a bag to take to Goodwill or for a charity to pick up, or whatever). Then I set a timer. 15-minute increments. You can do anything in 15-minute increments, right? I find that if I don't write the priority things down, I get sidetracked. And I get more done than I think I will.

Looks like a great class! I open the windows to air out the house, wash all of the bedding, and hang it outdoors

THROW IT AWAY! Items have to fight to stay in my house. Have to use it, love it or bye bye. It's so delightful and freeing to have what you want or use. Less to organize or dust or clean. FRESH! And heat up some lemon water in your microwave - cleans in a snap. MARY ANN MOSS ???? I'M ACHING TO WIN!! MY SCRAPS ARE DANCING...What a wonderful giveaway - thanks!!!

I am a list maker and I break my cleaning projects down into bit size pieces of small projects to complete each day. Write it on the calendar and COMMIT myself to it. One little bit each day adds up to accomplishing what I want to get done..........sometimes the big picture is too overwhelming, but the little snapshots each day are doable!

Space bags! I love these suckers! Grab all your out of season clothes and with about 8 I get mine and my 2 girls packed away in about 30 minutes! (Including the trio to the garage to use the shop vac since my Oreck doesn't have a hose attachment!)

Great giveaway--I've been wanting to take this class! I'm not a good cleaner so my tip is when in doubt Febreeze it.

Don't wait til the day before your daughter's eighth birthday party to do it? (Happy Birthday, Esme!)

my favourite tip? draw back the curtains, open the windows, turn up the music and let the fresh air and sunshine in, then start dusting while dancing. :D

The first 2 things that came to my mind were - open up the windows and declutter the house! The fresh air gives me more energy to tackle the stuff that has collected over the window. Piles of books - give them to the library for their book drive. Winter clothes you don't wear - now is the time to give them away. You and your house will feel lighter and brighter!

Very fun project! Thanks for showing us new things!

What a unique way to use that scrap paper. As always thanks Ali for the great giveaway.

i clean out the closets in the spring and if we didn't wear it/use it all winter then it usually goes.

Sounds like a wonderful class. My best tip? Call Merry Maids!
