How do you tackle spring cleaning?

Some set aside a weekend to knock it out in one sweep. Others spread the task out over several days or weeks. Some get help from spouses, kids or unwitting friends invited over for “coffee.” Others prefer to take on the task solo - after all, no one else knows exactly how you like things.

No matter your method, it’s that one thing that needs to get done every year, and there’s no better time to do it than these first early days of spring when we can comfortably open up all the windows and set a date with Mr. Clean.

So how do you tackle your spring cleaning to-do list? Scrub down one room a day? Delegate tasks to your significant other? Hire a professional to make the house sparkle while you’re at work?

In my house, spring cleaning started with a lunch accident, when someone spilled a whole packet of macaroni-n-cheese powder all over the stove (which was on), floor, counters and cabinets. We wound up scrubbing the whole kitchen from floor to ceiling, even pulling out the refrigerator and stove to find the sticky, dusty treasures underneath.

But now I’m faced with another conundrum: I don’t want to let anyone in there to mess it up!
