Spring Cleaning....Week 1

Every season I like to deep clean my house. However, Spring is when I do the most of the heavy cleaning like above wardrobes, behind furniture, wash all the curtain and change some of the decor to get a fresh and brighter look. Usually I clean all the house in about 3 or 4 days, which means at least 12 hours cleaning per day non stop (except for bathroom and eating breaks). At the end of this cleaning spree I am shattered. This year, I decided to give myself 2 full weeks to clean the entire house. This first week I have cleaned Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday. Monday and Saturday I wasn't home and Friday I did laundry. I started with the master bedroom, continued with the bathroom on Wednesday, my room on Thursday and today I cleaned the kitchen and living room. Next week I will clean the hall on Wednesday and the last room on  Friday. And  after that I will be done. To help myself remembering each cleaning task I have to do for each room in the right sequence, I like to write the tasks in the respective order in an old diary. Below you can see an example.


Although I am super clean and organized, at times to an OCD extreme, I do not enjoy every single cleaning task. I like ironing clean curtains and putting all the furniture and decor items in their place once everything is clean. I don't mind hooving and washing the floor. But I do not like washing windows and yards. But almost everything must be cleaned, not only at the beginning of each season but at least once a week. I do enjoy sitting and looking at the result at the end while having a cup of tea or writing a blog post as I am doing right now. 



As you can see in the images above, I love orange in my kitchen and living room. I think it's the perfect colour for Spring and Summer. 

What about you, do you like spring cleaning? What chore do you enjoy the most? 

STAY FAB
