The way I like to do spring cleaning is to take a week and take a room a day. That way no room or space gets overlooked.

Open the windows and front door and let the spring air in! This class might just be my new favorite tip - to help clean out my stash. Heaven knows my stash needs a good spring cleaning. Thanks for the chance.

Favorite Spring cleaning tip of all time, and its super easy...........................open the windows and air the place out!! Get all that stuffy, winter air out, let the fresh stuff in:)

I love hiring a maid service when I spring clean, just to do a serious deep clean once a year! I love how they come in and just make everything sparkle!

I have always wanted to sign up for MaryAnn's class. It in it's self is a bit of spring cleaning for all those scraps! My tip: tackle spring cleaning one drawer, one shelf, one corner at a time. It is not so overwhelming that way.

wow a lot of fun and intriguing things to learn this week! thanks Ali for sharing.

Spring cleaning means cleaning out all the closets throughout the house. My tip is to immediately put all donations into your car whether or not you plan on dropping them off that day. They are in your car when you are driving around and near that donation box, and you aren't tempted to pull things out!!!

I love having my 3 year old grandson helping me out with any cleaning. I give him a rag and a spray bottle of water and let him run free. Keeps him out of my hair when I am trying to sort, and the water doesn't harm too much!!! LOL!

Do one thing at a time. For example, work on your closets one day, then the garage the next day. If you try and take on too much at once it won't get done.

This year I have 2 kids under 2 and I am anxiously awaiting that spring cleaning bug...thanks of all the tips ladies! My tip is to do as much while your little ones are sleeping...yes, even if that means one o'clock in the morning!

My favorite tip is an old one. I work on one room a day. I make sure it's a nice day out because we remove everything from that room and set it in the back yard to air out. It's easier for me to start with a blank canvas. We wash walls, repaint them (early in the morning as it needs dry time and we don't want to leave the furniture outdoors overnight)...we clean windows with soap and water and repaint trim. We then steam clean or replace carpets. Move everything back in and we are good for another year. With the room completely empty it all goes pretty fast as we get all our supplies ahead of time. Kids go to grandmas the night before and my dh and I work from morning til night getting it done. We have 10 room house including the bathrooms. Both bathrooms we do in one day, and some take longer than others bit we are most often done by summer.

Well spring cleaning for me includes rotating food and going through my deep freezer and making a week or two's worth of menu's so we can do that rotating!

I break up spring cleaning into smaller tasks with one room/project at a time & then give myself something to look forward to do outside. The outside is likely another spring task but it is so nice to be outside it is fun!

I, too, wish I had a fabulous spring cleaning tip to make the job easier, but I would rather spend my time scrapping! I tend to hold on to things--which is why I would LOVE to win this class to use up some of my scrapbooking stash.

Great giveaway would love to win a spot in this class.

My favourite Spring clean tip is open all the windows to let the fresh air in, tackle 1 room at a time, and use natural cleaning products where possible.

My sister would love this class! I'm not sure I have a favorite spring cleaning tip - unless it's let the boys do it . . . ?

My favorite is to go through everything and if I haven't used it or worn it in the past year it goes. Good clothes to a charity helping women get started in new jobs; old but still serviceable clothes to Good Will; and yes I clean out my scrapping supplies and distribute them to nieces and other students who love this hobby but can't necessarily afford the expense of it right now.

What a great giveaway!!! My spring cleaning tip, is to always start with the horizontal surfaces - floors, tables, kitchen counters etc. It makes such a difference when these are all decluttered and clean.

I've always wanted to take this class! Cleaning comes at sporadic times for me, but one big thing I love to do with every change of the season is to change something up. Freshen the room up. It might be switching out pillows, centerpieces, tablecloths, bedding, you name it! Making a small change makes me feel so much better. And, it never hurts to add some fresh spring flowers! That will cover up any dust you have lurking :)

I donate stuff to the after school program at the school where I teach. Art teachers will love stuff that you no longer use.

Every spring I clean out my closet getting rid of the winter stuff that I know I won't use next winter. Makes it easier come late fall/winter to know exactly what I need to get. Also the first warm enough day I open all the windows and air out the house getting rid of all the stale winter air.

I always have a donation box on the go. If I find something that I don't want anymore (old books, decorations...), I just put it in the box. When it`s full, it can be dropped at the Salvation Army or other charity.

Everyones closets also has a plastic bag so they can drop clothes that are too small. That means less clothes on the floor!!

I also like to open up all my windows, but it will have to wait since we are having a blizzard!!!

I skip the "Spring Cleaning" and do it in the fall (usually November) instead... this way my house is clean and in order for the holidays. Plus it's much cooler in Phoenix that time of year.
The class looks fun :)

I label 3 bins and piles ---good will, garbage and to keep. I feel good about giving away items to charity and then less stressed about the other garbage.

my spring cleaning tip.......have the husband do the housework!
