YEARLY CLEAN-UP SCHEDULE

Hi! I've been going through my list lately of what I want to accomplish cleaning in the house before winter comes because, well, spring isn't the only time that you should clean! There are obvious items on this list, and then there are others that you're going to scratch your head and think, have I ever cleaned that? Don't worry, no matter what there is always going to be that one spot that you dread cleaning every day, week, or even every season and that's OK.

So put on your favorite Brittany song and get to work!
