17 GENIUS SPRING CLEANING HACKS

So my daughter reminded me to “Spring Ahead” this weekend. I’m sure like my kids, most children are excited about Daylight Savings Time (longer days = more outdoor playtime) and Spring Break. I sometimes dread spring because it means it’s time for the much-needed spring cleaning. Don’t get me wrong, I love a freshly cleaned, well-organized home. I just do not like to spend hours on end doing the cleaning. So I spent a little time on Pinterest seeking out ways to make this task much easier. And I found some easy spring cleaning hacks.
