Spring is a wonderful time of year, but with spring comes spring cleaning. I actually enjoy the thought of spring cleaning. There is something about the thought of being organized and starting a season off on the right (clean) foot that is satisfying. For example, cleaning your gutters is not pleasant in the cold of the winter.

Cleaning shower walls is always a challenge (if you are trying to keep dry while doing it). If you wipe down the walls after each shower with a dry cloth, you can clean less often.
