Spring Cleaning has Nothing to do with Spring

It's February and in Florida February is Spring.  At our house, spring cleaning is in full swing.  Spring cleaning is a great way to get organized, rid your home of useless junk and just do a thorough cleaning.  As a real estate professional, I can appreciate the art of spring cleaning and would only hope that all my sellers would get the urge to "spring" clean before they decide to put their homes on the market.

Regardless, our house is completely torn up right now.  It seems my wife has destroyed any sense of organization that our home thought it had.  For example, there are two sets of computers on the kitchen table waiting for reformatting, there is a pile of clothes at the front door that someone is taking to the local thrift shop, there's a pile of "who knows what" on the living floor and the garage is looking worse than ever.  I know that it has to get worse before it gets better and if my patience holds out, I also know from experience that I will be very happy with the results.

Living in Florida presents many challenges for the homeowner.  We do not have the basements and attics that other northern homeowners have.  We are forced to purge our junk more frequently and based on some of the basements I have seen in the north, this is probably a good thing in the long run.  I shutter to think how much work it must be for our northern friends to get their homes ready to sell.

Whether you are getting your home ready to sell or just feel the need to get some order and organization in your life, if you embark on a spring cleaning campaign at any time of the year, once finished, you will own a great sense of accomplishment, and your home will ultimately make you feel more productive.
