Spring, By Definition a new beginning, a renewal.
I love the smell of Spring. After being couped up for the Winter, it is time to open the windows and bring in the fresh air. Flowers are starting to bloom and signs of life are everywhere.
There is no better time like Spring to do a thorough deep clean. I always enjoyed having a maid, There was nothing like coming home after work to a spotless house I was amazed how someone could clean my entire house in just 2 hours. It seemed that I could work 40 hours and not accomplish the same thing.
