Cleaning for Curb Appeal

I hate to clean.  Is anybody with me here?  It eats into my precious free time, it's physically exhausting, and it never ever seems to go away.  BUT..I do love a clean house! So I try to make it as painless as possible.

Instead of letting housework build up into a crisis situation, I've found that regular maintenance is a better solution.  Armed with some of our multi-purpose natural castile liquid soap, a few pure essential oils, a little baking soda, vinegar, and salt, you can put some major hurt on dirt and grime.  PDQ. 

Is my house spotless?  Hardly.  But I try to give it what my husband calls "curb appeal" (he does lawn maintenance.)   De-cluttering goes a long way toward achieving that.  In an hour or less a day, you can hit the high spots and keep it reasonably clean...even if the top of the refrigerator isn't always spic and span.

For starters, here's 20 Eco Friendly Ways to Spring Clean Your Home but I suggest you don't wait for spring next year.  Tackle a little each day.  Focus on specific tasks.  Clean during the commercials.  Do one more little thing before going to bed.

Keep it looking good from the curb, and you'll feel better about your surroundings...and your life in general.

whoosh!

How can you walk by a sow thistle without huffin' and puffin' and sending it all airborne?  Whoosh!  And off it goes.  Of course this just helps to spread the quote unquote "noxious weed" (because that fluffy little puff ball is full of seeds), but since I learned it actually has medicinal value (heck it's even edible!), I don't feel quite so guilty.

Go ahead now.  Relive your childhood.  Whoosh it up!
