Thrifty Thursday: Spring Cleaning

April 8, 2010

Thrifty Thursday

Spring cleaning can be a very thrifty and even moneymaking endeavor.  Here are the steps I take each year to get our house back in order:

1. Clear out the clutter.  I am bad about clutter, just ask my hubby.  When you sort items, you can start to see what you really use and what is just taking up space.  I had magazines from October and November that I hadn’t even read!  (Ooops!)

2. Get your cleaning products for cheap or free. Vinegar is a great multipurpose cleaning tool, and it is very inexpensive.  It is also not harmful to the environment.  Many stores are also running great deals right now on cleaning supplies.  I have a whole shelf full of free products!

3. Do one room at a time. I find that it is a lot less overwhelming if I tackle one room before moving on to the next.  Spend as much or little time as you need to get the room looking great.

4. Make a yard sale pile and donate the rest. What should you do with all that clutter?  Well, obviously, some is probably trash.  Put anything that has value in a pile for a yard sale, and what you don’t sell, donate.

5. Organize.  This is tough for me! If you organize, you will save your self a lot of time cleaning up later.  Everything should have a place in your home.
