Tax time always brings about some much needed decluttering for me. So glad to purge receipts, notes and random "why did I save that" notes which have accumulated over the year. Also brings attention to the dust bunnies and cob webs....
Your best friend for spring cleaning is the attachments on your upright vacuum or purchase a small shop vac at your local home improvement store. (When shopping be sure to look for length of power cord and hose for ease of use, one with a 3.5 peak horsepower is sufficient.) If you start by vacuuming all the dust up you won't be chasing it around as you proceed with cleaning.
With your vac brush attachment, 4ft ladder, 2-3 microfiber clothes and an old paint brush begin at the top and work your way down to the floor hitting every surface, knick knack and picture frame. Wipe down with a microfiber cloth as you move along using the paint brush to get in the corners. Don't forget to open those windows and let in the fresh air!! Just don't forget to vacuum up the dead bugs in the window sills!
