Winter has almost gone, says I as I’m scraping the ice off the car again this morning!
Of course by lunchtime that frost has cleared and the clear sky means a lovely early spring sunshine emerges.
That spring sunshine however has the less than desired effect of bouncing off all those surfaces covered with a layer of dust, and the cobwebs which have kept the spiders in food all winter.
So now is the official time for a spring clean, well in my house anyway!
It’s a great opportunity to have a good old sort out and a rearrange whilst I’m at it.
What I tend to do is to take a room at a time, I take all my ornaments and bits out to give them a good clean and polish. I pull all the furniture into the centre of the room to give behind and underneath a good vacuum, I then tackle all those corners where the cobwebs have been un-disturbed all winter. Picture frames, top of doors, switches and sockets get a wipe and polish. Then finally all the furniture gets pushed back.
When it comes to bringing all the ornamental bits back in, I like to have a good rearrange and swap a few bits over to introduce lighter, brighter spring colours. Another great excuse for a bit of retail therapy.
A vase of fresh flowers and voila! onto the next room.
Do other people have a good spring clean at this time of year?
Do you do anything special to prepare your house for summer?
I’d love to hear from you
And eventually getting outside to the array of colour and variety again you can’t fail to be impressed with how everything is so well displayed.
