Spring Cleaning

By

I’ve deemed next week 2013 Spring Cleaning Week here at the Jackson house. It’s marked in my calendar and I’m doing my best to not schedule too much extra during the week so I can complete this daunting task! 
{My father will be so proud :)}

It’s been awhile, actually an embarrassingly long time, since we {really I} did a thorough top to bottom, inside and out cleaning job. I am hoping to get through each room of our home with a rough cleaning schedule in one week but in reality I think it will take longer. At the same time, I’m hoping to go through all our things as I clean and possibly donate or throw away items that we no longer need or that have expired and are taking up space. 

I ordered a few cleaning supplies online a few weeks ago to prepare. 

No Scratch Scrunge 
Wright’s Copper Cream that a client highly recommended for our large hood in our kitchen
Clapham’s Beeswax Furniture Polish for our wood furniture pieces  
Lexol Applicator sponges to apply the furniture polish.

I also stocked up on my favorite Bona hardwood floor cleaner and I’ve got my giant bottle of Folex upholstery and carpet cleaner {hands down the best product of this type that I’ve used-I’ve got a few stories to back this product up that you wouldn’t believe! And they are a local company; an added bonus.}  And ordered Shaklee Scour Off that I read about on A Bowl Full of Lemons blog {an amazing cleaning and organizing blog that offers easy step by step solutions.} I have already deep cleaned about half of my kitchen and used this to completely clean my double ovens. It worked great and has a nice scent and it’s non-toxic which is my new kick: Trying to use up most of our every day cleaners and replace them with more non-toxic products where I can. I use a ton of Method products but I could definitely use more.

I am by NO MEANS {at all!} an expert in cleaning!!! And there are a ton of sources out there {which I hope to compile a few for a post next week to help with ideas, products, tips, etc. on spring cleaning} to help achieve a successful spring cleaning. I’ll share my own schedule and some ideas I’ve come across as well as any other inspirations that helped me in this deep clean next week on the blog. A clean house is the first step to a beautifully decorated house!

Til then, I’m off to scrub my kitchen cabinets inside and out :) 

Happy SPRING-‘ing forward, this weekend too!

{these are all products that have been recommended or that I have personally used…no compensation, just my personal opinion :) }
