This is one of my favorite times of year because nature is naturally cleaning up the dead and brown world of winter and transforming it into the colorful, bright days of spring. No wonder we all feel like “breathing some life” into our own homes with a little spring cleaning.
If you get overwhelmed, you could end up with analysis paralysis and either not get your projects done - or worse – not get out there to enjoy any of the beautiful spring weather. So here is Spring Cleaning Made Easy – Courtesy of your favorite carpet cleaner…
