Time for spring cleaning Day 1

Today while having my morning coffee (or 3), and blog hopping, I came upon a blog(sorry forgot which one), about spring cleaning.

to add the link to my motivation. Thanks Brooke

It got me motivated to start mine.
The first problem is always, "where to start?"
I live in a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom, apartment, with 2 kids, 2 animals(dog and a cat). I have 2 storage closets (big ones), and a huge coat closet. I also have a "solarium", I call it a porch!
I thought back to the read post, and remembered, the 1 main thing.
"Do 1 room at a time".
Well since this week has been unseasonable warm(hopefully it stays this way), I decided to start with the "porch".
My son has a habit of dropping all his crap out there. Reason being, with the bed bug epidemic going on, I am scared he is going to bring something home with him, from a friends house! >>>insert eyes popped out, grossed out smiley here.
I can deal with the dog having the occasional potty accident, and cleaning the cat box, but not that, thank-you.
I actually was enjoying myself while cleaning. (I have no life, I know).
What a feeling of accomplished joy I had, when I finished.
I think tomorrow I will do the coat closet. I will not be putting any mittens or hats away though. I know if I do, we'll get a big snowstorm.

 Essentials to get started
There is no need to put off spring cleaning because you don't have a cleaner for each job (or you need to wait til you get paid to purchase).
The following is a list that most people will have on hand.

• old cloths ( I always save any old dish cloths/facecloths, that have faded or gotten stained.
• Vinegar (You can clean anything with it, and it's cheap. Plus great for windows too)
• Baking soda (Also cheap, and good for scouring)
• garbage bags (If you can't decide in under 10 seconds, if you'll use something, toss it)

Happy Cleaning!
