Now that spring is finally here to stay, it's time to begin the dreaded Spring Cleaning. Why do I say dreaded? Well, have you ever tried to get a teenage boy to leave the comfort of his room to help with some major cleaning? Whenever I attempt this, Kyle seems to get very sleepy in the blink of an eye. Or, when he's feeling really creative, his bones are broken. (Of course they aren't. He just claims this to avoid doing his share of the chores.) When it's time for Spring Cleaning, this mama goes from a laid-back, chill, hippie chick to a barking Drill Sergeant. Hey, you gotta do what you gotta do, right?
Anyway, to prepare for our annual Spring Cleaning, I headed to Walmart to stock up on several household essentials. Now through April 30th, Walmart is hosting the P&G Stock Up & Save event, which offers even lower prices on the brands and products people use the most like Tide, Bounty, Tampax, and more! There are Rollback prices and even special bonus sizes available. Stocking up has never been more painless or affordable!
During the P&G Stock Up and Save Event you can save on the following items:
When we headed to our local Walmart, this event was clearly a hit! A few of the products I wanted to grab weren't in stock. No worries, though. There were still plenty of great deals to choose from, like these brand new Bounty with Dawn Paper Towels. I have to say, these are genius. They actually have the power of Dawn Dish Soap embedded into the towels. This makes cleaning up spills, messes, etc simpler than ever.
We also stocked up on some Liquid Tide as well as convenient Tide Pods. I got the Tide Pods for my teenager, Kyle. He does his own laundry, and the pods make this foolproof for him. No need to measure, and no more sticky detergent spills on the top of the washing machine. It's a win-win situation. Seriously, though.....How does he manage to get detergent ALL OVER the washing machine, anyway? Must be a teenage thing. Or maybe a guy thing. Or both!
We were able to find some really fantastic deals on all of our favorite P&G products at Walmart during their Stock Up & Save Event. We took advantage of the super-low prices and bought enough detergent, paper towels, and toilet paper to last quite some time, and all without breaking the bank. This event is going on right now, and will run through April 30, 2015. Hurry on over and grab all the household essentials on your list! Happy Spring Cleaning, everyone!

I am thrilled to announce that one lucky reader will receive a $25 Walmart gift card so they can stock up and save on their favorite P&G items, too!

My best spring cleaning tip is to take it one room at a time so you don't feel overwhelmed!

I forgot the question. My husband is talking up a storm. I like the Bounty paper towels. I won't use a sponge to clean my counter tops. It spreads germs.I am going through room by room cleaning top to bottom. I kind of went on stroke a few tears ago, hoping to motivate my husband. All that did was make a huge mess for me. Now, I'm cleaning and having a say so.

My spring cleaning tip is to give away any clothes that you have not worn for a year.

My Spring cleaning tip is to use your used dryer sheets for dusting. The static electricity in the dryer sheet traps the dust

My tip is to declutter first, decide what to toss away or donate, then clean one room, one area of one room, at a time.
Barbara Montag
4/16/2015 06:12:27 pm
As I'm decluttering I carry a basket with me to put things in that belong in another room.

I use baking soda and water and make a paste to clean grease off the top of the stove and in my electric fryer to clean it out too.

I find that when I play music that is very fast, I get my cleaning done much quicker and I enjoy it more.

My best tip; Wait until all the pollen stops flying through the air before you wash windows, screens and curtains.
April

Keep cleaning supplies up and down stairs to cover more ground.

Make sure you do one room at a time - otherwise it gets exhausting and frustrating.
lisa
4/17/2015 12:59:17 am
Just getting started is the toughest part. For a big cleaning job, if possible, I try to empty the room and really give it a good cleaning.
Cynthia C

My tip is to break up cleaning into smaller tasks and do a few every day so you don't get overwhelmed.
Lyndsey

One room at a time, and clean top to bottom! 4/17/2015 04:58:33 am
Start with one room at a time; do the thing you least one to do first that way you have it out of the way you won't have to worry about it.
Deborah Wellenstein
4/17/2015 06:08:01 am
To get started, I first distribute everything that does not belong to its rightful place.

Amanda Alvarado

My tip is to go room by room and don't start on another room until the one before is completely done!
Rebecca Graham

Do one room a day.
Jeffrey

Start with putting things in recycling and then sort out things for garbage. Do this first to clear up space.

My best tip is to save the room you hate cleaning the most for the beginning to get it over with.
lisa

Don't try to overdo it. You'll just get discouraged and not finish cleaning. Be realistic with your goals.
shirley

Crystal F

I say clean a little at a time so that you don't over do it. If you try to do too much you will get tired of it and not finish. Thank you!
Marilyn Nawara

Clean 1 room at a time. Gather all of the supplies you will need for that room and get going.
Pamela Gurganus

My best spring cleaning tip is I take one full week to do my spring cleaning. I clean one to two rooms a day from top to bottom. By taking my time, this way I know the rooms get thoroughly cleaned and organized.
lisa
4/19/2015 02:16:31 am
I'm trying not to overdo it. When I do, I get sore and don't get anything done the next day.
Kristen
4/19/2015 05:54:07 am
I like to do a little bit every evening so I don't have to feel like I "wasted" a whole day cleaning! (and sometimes I have more energy in the evening)
Natalie
4/19/2015 09:37:59 am
Use vinegar to clean hardwood floors. 4/19/2015 02:04:46 pm
We always do one room at a time after we have opened up the storm windows and put them away
Laurie

It's always a bonus if you can get the kids to do the cleaning!
lisa

Take a look around. Decide how much time each task may take and allow for it. Get a list together and start, somewhere.
Natalie

Megan Scharlau

Focus on one thing at a time. Go through your rooms and make a big box of things to donate that you haven't used in the past year!
Seyma Shabbir
4/21/2015 01:31:43 am
Start my getting rid of stuff you do not use! Sell it or donate it! Less dust to clean!
lisa
4/21/2015 02:38:53 am
Whenever possible I try to use natural products to clean with, vinegar and baking soda, items like that. Harsh cleansers were making me very ill from the fumes. Also for cleaning walls I have been using a clean sponge mop. It gets the whole wall clean without stretching. Just make sure you really squeeze out the excess water first and change the water often.

Sometimes I clean while I'm watching something on tv. Every time a commercial comes on, I dust, vacuum or put something away. (An hour show has 20 min. of ads, so it's pretty easy to do.)
Barbara Montag
4/21/2015 10:00:30 pm
I clean my linoleum floors with water and vinegar.
lisa
4/22/2015 01:06:17 am
I set aside a certain amount of time each day and concentrate on one room at a time. Once that's done, I move to the next. If I try to clean each room I get overwhelmed.
Rebecca Orr
4/22/2015 01:19:09 am
When I spring clean, I do it one room at a time. That way, I do not get overwhelmed.
Deb Jackson

I start in the center of the ceiling and work down.

I keep the duster in my living room and when I walk out and go room to room, I take it with me so I can dust
Christina
4/22/2015 12:18:37 pm
Every Spring, I do a major overhaul. I clean closets, cabinets, ceilings, fans and baseboards. Things that u don't always get to but desperately need to. I took a whole car load to a local consignment shop after this years cleaning spree!
Laurie Nykaza
4/22/2015 07:21:34 pm
You need to stay in one room to clean and not go to others until its finished.
lisa
4/23/2015 12:21:44 am
Today I'm taking it easy. We've had so much rain the grass is pretty tall. If I can get the old mower started I'm be cutting the grass.
kath g
4/23/2015 04:29:38 pm
i put old socks on my hands to dust the smaller things.
lisa
4/24/2015 03:11:45 am
Pick up, wipe down, dust, just do something small as you pass through each room. It only takes a minute, but it all adds up.
polly
4/24/2015 10:35:21 am
I clean one or two rooms daily so it's not so overwelming
June Lisle

Keep up more on cleaning your house during the year so you don't have to do so much extra during the spring.

Put on your favorite dance music, time flies when you are singing along while you clean :)

Start with a plan and follow it. The hardest part is getting started.
Lesley F

My tip is to start early so that you are not cleaning when the weather actually gets warm
jessica

My spring cleaning tip is pack away winter clothes in a tote and label the tote, throw out clothes you don't wear, dust and wash down closets and check smoke detectors
brandy
4/25/2015 09:16:28 pm
I make a pile of store away (like winter coats) and a pile of donate each season.
lisa
4/26/2015 03:25:10 am
I sweeps daily. There is so much pollen outside that everything has a green coating. I have allergies, so it's a must.
Natalie
4/26/2015 03:46:00 am
Create a schedule and spread it out through a couple of weeks rather than do it all at once.

lisa
4/27/2015 02:31:13 am
When the weather gets warm enough I take all of the window blinds off , take them outdoors and give them a cleaning. It's amazing how dirty they get over the course of a year.
Chelsea B.
4/27/2015 11:11:36 am
Don't get too overwhelmed. It's okay to take breaks! I promise, it'll still be there ;-)
Kamla Layne
4/27/2015 12:44:06 pm
Take it one day and one room at a time purging as much clutter as possible as you go. I listen to audio books while I'm cleaning which makes cleaning seem less like a chore.
kath g
4/27/2015 04:28:51 pm
i try to do something small every time i leave a room - like put something away, that way when i actually clean i don't waste any time.

lisa
4/29/2015 01:33:42 am
I need to decide what stays, what gets thrown out, and what will be donated. I've already washed up several almost new pair of pants and some boots. I used to be fat, and now I can't wear the jeans because I've I've lost a lot of weight. Anyways,I boxed the stuff up and left a sign saying free. Everything was taken.

Laurie Emerson

My best tip is to make a list before you begin. Put in one column things you want to get rid of and in another column put what you want to save. It really saves time when you are trying to figure out what to keep.
