You may have started thinking about your spring cleaning or you may have already begun.  While there are many areas of a home that may need your attention, this week, we’re focusing on a few hot spots in each room.  These are spots that might be neglected throughout the year and may require some special attention.  No matter the time that you have available, you can set the timer for 10, 15, 30 minutes, or an hour and tackle one of the hot spots in your home.

Yesterday, we got started with Kitchen Drawers & Cabinets.  Today, we’re moving into the living room or den (or both).  Whether or not you allow food in your living areas, there are likely some unidentified objects in the seat cushions of your couch.  Maybe you dread something rolling under the sofa for fear that you’ll have to wrestle a dust bunny (or two) to get it back.  Members to ListPlanIt have access to a wide range of lists that can help set goals for their spring cleaning in Home Management.  Not yet a member?  Join today and make it easy to get organized for spring.
