No Spring clean this year for me!

I have a cleaner.

Me too!

With 4 of us in the house and 2 of the 4 having 4 feet each, any cleaning I do has to be on a weekly basis not once a year in Spring.
When it’s sunny days like today I’m outdoors and Spring cleaning doesn’t get a look in.
Decluttering goes on year round.

I have dusted off the furniture in the conservatory and renamed various things that had been put there ‘just for now’ over the winter. I cleaned the window glass too and was feeling very pleased with my efforts.

Then I closed the door. Windows were sparkling but I had forgotten the door glass! Guess what I was doing at 5 o’clock this morning.

That’s the spring cleaning done for this year.

What do you do it a spring clean, that isn’t done routinely during the year?
I’ve never done one, and don’t recall my mum doing one either.
Come to think about it, neither did my dad, and my husband certainly hasn’t!
Do men do them 🤷🏻‍♀️?

No need. I do all the cleaning throughout the year.
And it helps being the absolute opposite of a horder.

I've thought about it, but not started, and I do need to have a clearout, but this morning, with the sun shining, and a bit warmer outside, I did make a start on my pots in the front, I took all the old flowers and moss ( it grows and spreads ) and binned them...

You binned moss 😥

I wouldn’t know where to start fortunately. 😉

I think the buzz word now is ‘deep’ clean.

Well, I just cleared out and cleaned 2 kitchen drawers. Does that count?

I doubt if my adult children have ever heard of Spring cleaning. I think it will die out within a generation.

I’ve never spring cleaned in my life. I thought it was done around 100 years ago in the era of coal fires and cigarettes, when walls were distempered and curtains washed to get rid of the smoke and pollution. The floors must have needed scrubbing too because people wore shoes indoors and they had no Hoovers.
We and our homes are much cleaner now.

I spring clean every year, but the same thing happens, I get so far then get fed up, loose interest and then can’t get going again. I’m in the waiting to get going again phase.
Someone give me a kick you the bum !

I mostly do things when I think they need doing but will washing curtains etc (yes, they say must be dry cleaned but I wash them on a delicate wash and they’re fine!) when it’s a bit warmer. I’m happy just to be able to get some washing on the line.

I remember washing my curtains every spring but now I never wash them .

“Ne’er cast a clout till May be out”. I fear we may need our winter coats again for a while.
I don’t do spring cleaning as such, but the sun does show up some cobwebs and streaky windows, so they’d better go on my To Do list.

I don't spring clean but some jobs are easier to do over the summer months.

I thought this was much more of a thing in the days of coal fires. Can’t say I’ve ever done it, but I do have a bit of a blitz now and then anyway. Usually overdue!

I shan’t be washing my winter coats and putting them away at the moment - I think there’s potential for further cold snaps yet.
However, whilst it is nice, I have started some fettling, but I don’t tend to do a massive spring clean, but rather keep on with bits throughout the year. Having said that, what I will do as soon as it warms up a bit is wash all the curtains, as some are looking on the grubby side. They take ages to dry, so I need to wait for a warm, sunny day to do them.

What is this Spring Clean? Not part of my vocabulary!! 😏
We just clean as and when it’s needed whatever the season.

My spring clean is just about getting ready for summer. I have turned the heating down, and will be taking my winter curtains down too for a wash, and putting up the lighter, summer ones.

I will be washing/cleaning my winter coats and putting them away too.

My normal cleaning routine doesn't change otherwise.

I was going to start a declutter this week, but have twisted my knee and am out of action. We also have a visiting puppy for a couple of weeks, so I will put it off until normal service can be resumed.

Sort of. I had a new dishwasher last week, and as it’s integrated I thought that as the fitter would be on his knees for a while in my kitchen he’d see any marks at low level. Once I’d started with the base boards and lower cupboards I carried on, and my kitchen is now gleaming, even on the tops of the cupboards. The rest of the house is clean, but not to that degree, I’m waiting for the sun to highlight the bits I’ve missed.

Never done it, never will!
