Here’s some great tips to help you with your spring cleaning
15 Spring Cleaning Ideas
1. De-clutter – Donate, Gift, Sell, Move, or Throw It Out
De-cluttering is actually more of a mental exercise than a physical one. You have to take a look at each item that you have and decide why you are keeping it and if it is worth the space that it is currently taking up in your home. Answer yourself honestly, and if the item does not need to be in your home, donate it, give it away, move it to a place that makes sense, sell it in a garage sale, or throw it out.
2. Move What You Want or Need to Keep to a Storage Shed

Move everything you don’t need to store in your home to a storage shed

3. Wrap a Towel Around Your Broom to Help Clean Ceilings and Corners
4. Let the Sunshine In With Clean Windows

5. Use Those Single Socks for Dusting
6. Clean Out Your Fridge
7. Make Your Microwave Magnificent
Place a microwave-safe bowl with one cup of water, a few tablespoons of vinegar, and one whole citrus fruit such as a lemon, lime, or orange chopped up inside your microwave and let it cook on high for several minutes until it boils and you see steam on the door of your microwave. Let the solution cool down for about 15 minutes without opening the door, then remove the bowl and wipe the inside with a sponge. Your stuck on messes will easily come of now and your microwave will smell springtime fresh.

9. Brighten up Your Copper Pots with Ketchup
10. Clean Off the Burned-On Reside On the Rest of Your Pots

Simmer your pots with soap and water to remove burned on stains
