Pro Tips for Spring Cleaning Success

Work top to bottom — dust falls down, so start with ceilings and work your way to floors
One room at a time — finish completely before moving on
Declutter first — it's easier to clean when there's less stuff
Open windows — fresh air helps and makes the work more pleasant
Don't rush — spring cleaning is a project, not a race
