Style and Focus Weekend: Spring Cleaning


Unless you're a clean freak the last thing you want to do is spend a weekend cleaning. But as much as you hate to admit it, your place is starting to look a little less than fabulous. As an adult it's your responsiblity to clean your place, no more Mom to the cleaning rescue (this goes for those who moved back in with your parents).

Not sure what to do. Before you get started create a chore list that will help keep you on track with your task be it big or small. This also gives you a chance to check your cleaning supplies to see if you have everything you need.

Next, pick a task and get started. The hardest part is getting started.

Still not psych for Spring Cleaning why not give yourself a reward for completing the task. The reward could be something like a day of rest or a night out at your favorite restaurant. There are so many benefits for having a clean home such as not being afraid if guest unexpectedly stop by, all the extra closet space, and the extra money you'll save because you won't have to re-purchase items that you've misplaced.

New to the cleaning thing, don't drive yourself crazy trying to do it all in one day. Just do a little bit a time.

I put off cleaning and organizing til the last minute. I just hate doing it. I know I should just do it and get it over with but after working all day the last thing I want to do is clean.

It's not like I own a huge house or anything. I have a 750 sq ft apt so it shouldn't be a big deal to clean it but I just don't have the motivation to get started.

If I could I would just hire a maid but I can just see my mom shaking her head and telling me to do it myself.
