If you spring clean what do you do?

[kansasmum]

I'm really trying to de clutter and organise my house and whilst some rooms

Bugger hit post too soon!
Basically what do you do for spring clean. I'm decluttering but haven't done anymore than normal cleaning.

How far do you go? I can't imagine washing walls but washing skirting boards I could manage!!

Some people DO wash walls.

A tip was do all of the wall otherwise you will be staring at a clean bit

The only spring cleaning I have done so far is the huge bay window in the sitting room. It involves teetering on the step ladder -it's really scary-

I have had to rest since then

I pull all furniture out and clean behind, wash skirting boards, doors, banisters, kitchen cupboards etc, climb up and dust/clean on top of high surfaces like on top of units and appliances. Lights also need cleaning - and ceilings hoovered from cobwebs etc. Radiators need cleaning, sofa cleaning, shampoo carpets etc

The list goes on but basically I just pick a room and clean it from top to bottom.

I start with being realistic about how much time I have.

I had a good few hours free yesterday and did the children's bedrooms - rearranged a room in fact. Found some old books and toys and a hell of a lot of dust.
I have yet to sort through Spring clothes..need another hour for that at least.

Oh yes I certainly don't do it all in one go! I do one room at a time and sometimes that maybe done in one day, other times it may take a week to complete - just whatever the time allows.

Yes, I did the living room recently, so I as well as washing the walls and pulling out the furniture, I also washed the curtains and sofa cover and the lamp shade. Istill haven't cleaned the windows though.

This confirms what I thought. I am a lazy slattern:(

Oh well I shall make a list of jobs and tick them off slowly ( probably VERY slowly!!)
