Can you come and spring clean my house??  LMBO!  At least you through all the clothes...that would be probably most of the clutter. HAHA

Im In this is great to keep me on track!!!Love it!!!

I'm in and I behind and ahead all at the same time. Cleaned the front entry along with 2 of the rugs today. Thankfully I only have 2 mirrors, bad thing is I have over 20 windows, some I can't reach even with a ladder. Guess my husband gets to do those.  lol

My cleaning tip is while my youngest is taking a bath, she just needs help with her hair, I clean the mirrors and sink.

I'm in too! I love that this is SO easy to follow and a great reminder!

My favorite cleaning tip is to use an old pillowcase to clean ceiling fans. Just damp the pillowcase, slip it over the fan blade and then swipe backwards. Then move on to the next blade. The pillowcase contains all of the dirt and dust inside so it doesn't get all over everything else underneath the fan :)

My second favorite is to use vinegar daily in the rinse aid container in the dishwasher.

I guess I'm in! LOL

Not wanting to spring clean my house  but I have GOT to do something around here.  And if this works, I'm in.

To clean my windows, I use a spray bottle of vinegar, a couple drops of Dawn, and water.  Luckilly, I have the windows that fold in so makes it VERY easy to clean them.

My floors are a plain old sponge mop, and I use hot water and a few drops of Dawn to clean them.  Works like a charm every time.

Don't forget pillows when you are doing bedding and linens.  These are things we never remember to do anything about!  We had a recent bout of lice in our house and I learned I can toss my pillows in the dryer for about 15-20 minutes on high heat  to freshen them up,  and get rid of germs and 'bugs'. LOL

I'm in...and my tip is to get the KIDS involved, too.  Some of this is "fun" cleaning to them!  LOL  

This is a really nice way to break it down!! I am going to try it and get the kiddos involved too!

I'm in for the monthly cleanup and the giveaway! 

My tip is for dog and cat cleanup jobs.  Save the plastic bags from your newspaper and produce. These thin bags aren't great for trashcan lining, but they are great for dog poop-patrol in the yard (or on walks!) and for collecting the clumps when scooping the litter box.

I hear you on the windows.  I have 27.  On a two-story house.  With  multiple panes per window.  UGH!!!

I'm all caught up. I think my husband is wondering what's gotten into me!  I didn't run the oven cleaning cycle, just wiped it out. It was covered in some sort of powder all over. ??? Yuck.
