Preparing for the Warmer Weather: Spring into Spring Cleaning

Spring has arrived and most of you are heading outdoors to enjoy the weather but a lot are also organizing and giving your home's a fresh feel with the traditional spring cleaning! The beginning of spring is a popular time to do some deep-down cleaning on your home. This goes for the inside and outside, top to bottom! Many like to organize as well and throw old things away in order to start fresh with the new season! A great way to do this is by using the "out with the old, in with the new" process. Donate any clothes, toys or other items that you don't need anymore and give others a chance to start fresh this spring, too!
