Spring Cleaning

I know some people start spring cleaning in January however I despise cleaning. It wasn't until I got the gardening itch that I decided to start with my spring cleaning. My thought process is the sooner my house is done I can be outside when spring is actually here. We came here half way through the spring/summer and missed all the spring work outside...it is going to be a lot but worth it. I love our place!!!

Anyway yesterday I cleaned our back entrance, storage room and my laundry room. I did some reorganizing and moving of things. I think I will tackle one room a day (here and there) and I should be down in no time. I want to wash walls, windows, screens, etc. I got some bins to start up my recycling again. I do miss that about Edmonton; put everything in one bag and put it on the curb....no sorting. Anyway we have been accumulating a lot of garbage and it has been weighing on my conscience.

I also want to get a compost going this year. If I recycle and compost it should cut down on our garbage immensely. I am also trying to change my cleaning supplies to more "green" choices. I have switched my laundry detergent and dish detergent.I have found some websites that have natural cleaning recipes that I will also try and use. I feel bad saying it but it seems I am more aware of what I use when we have a well and our own land to protect.

Are you done your spring cleaning or is this something you do throughout the year??
