- Burn some calories! Instead of spending the day at the gym, use the time to work your muscles by doing some deep cleaning. Scrubbing, sweeping, and mopping are all great ways to get your exercise in. You may find that after you have cleaned the house you have some extra room for that yoga mat!
- Having a clean house will help save you time. How many mornings have you spent at least 10 minutes trying to find those car keys? Putting everything in its place will not only save you time, but it will also keep you from having to stress about being late to work. Besides, who wants to come home to a house with laundry all over the place?
- Cleaning out your fridge may help you on your way to eating healthier. Who wants to cook a healthy meal if they have to dig through expired cheese and moldy tomatoes? Cleaning out that fridge will make cooking at home more appealing and will help your house smell a lot better.
If you're looking for an inexpensive green cleaner that you can use just about everywhere, try http://www.vinegartips.com/.
Don't throw away all of those unwanted items, try http://www.freecycle.org/ or http://www.craigslist.com/. Another fun idea is to have a CD, book, or DVD swap with your friends and family. Invite them over for a fun-filled evening of snacks and shopping. Ask your guests to bring their unwanted books, CD's or DVD's with them. Lay them all out on a table and guests can have a fun time trading their items.
Happy Spring Cleaning!!
