Spring is here in Connecticut and I am so thrilled because being cooped up in the house for 6 long months is enough to drive a person crazy. I need light and air and flowers and sun! What I don’t need is dust and dirt so that means it’s time for Spring Cleaning.
Spring means it’s time for me to open the windows and watch the cat hair fly around the house. Yep, those darn long hair cars of mine are growing their own cats I think and I find myself chasing rolling cat balls down the hallway.
That’s Kitter – she’s not as innocent as she looks and is cause of some of the hair balls in this house.
P&G sent me some Spring products to try out and my favorite has to be the new Swiffer Duster Extender with the head that bends and handle that expands. Now I can clean the cat hair off the fan in the kitchen – yes, there’s even cat hair up there. I am loving this thing and will be using it a lot.
The handle expands so you can adjust it to be a long handle or a short handle. With the long handle I can reach all of the way up to the ceiling and on top of the fan blades.
Another thing they sent me was Cascade Complete Packs for the dishwasher. I’ve been wanting to try these and now that I have I think I am hooked. They are these little packettes that you put in your dishwasher instead of measuring out soap. No mess and they smell fresh. Another winner
The last thing in my box was Vicks Nature Fusion for coughs but since I haven’t been sick I will store that away until I need it.

open the windows and let the fresh air in. then wash the windows inside and out so the sun shines in.
I open the windows – but here in florida it is opposite. When it starts to get warm we shut everything and turn on the AC. Sand and dust is a problem year round here. Of Course my house has pets and the hair starts to shed with the warmer weather.
I like to clean out all my closets, cabinets and drawers. I think that Spring gives me the chance to “purge” all the clutter that has accumulated throughout the fall and winter months. It’s also time to clean windows, curtains, blinds and also to give those walls a fresh new coat of paint!
I love to open all the windows to flush out the old air. Then I do a dusting from top to bottom. Love sitting outside on the patio furniture. Wasn’t sure we could drag it out of the shed, but I’m hoping spring is here to stay!

Clean the windows
I clean the house from top to bottom. Usually I find a few piles of hair that have piled up and I always joke with my husband and tell him that I didn’t know we have more cats. We have 3 dogs and 5 cats so I really have to clean good to get rid of pet hair. I like to throw open the Windows and let my pets breathe in the fresh air and I feel that also de-germs the house from all the winter germs.
I can’t wait to start gardening again
When it gets nice and warm outside, I like to open all the windows. Of course, it’s nicer when their clean so I start with that task and then listen to the birds singing as I clean the rest of the house.
We change the comforters and pillowcases and the decoration on the front door and deep clean the carpets and spend time at the pool.
First thing I do when it gets warm is to open up the windows and let the fresh air in. It gets me in the spring cleaning spirit.
