Spring cleaning!

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Time.
  1. Step 1

    Living in a fifth wheel I have very limited space. So to start spring cleaning I have to get rid of all the unnecessary stuff that I have accumulated all year. It would'nt do me any good to have a yard sale because I live in the Colorado mountains and have very few neighbors. So I donate it to my church.

  2. Step 2

    Once I do all that and have everything pulled out thats when the cleaning starts. I wipe out all the drawers and cabinets and start reorganizing as I go. Once everything is put away I start moving furniture. Vacuum and then shampoo the carpets. I have an article on shampooing your carpet if you would like to check it out.

  3. Step 3

    Put all the furniture back and dust, wipe down all the cabinet doors, hand prints on walls. Then start on windows. I have a little tip on washing windows. Use the washer fluid that you put in your vehicle, it wont leave streaks. Diapers make an excelent cloth also. Dont forget cob webs if you have any, just use a broom to get to them.

Tips & Warnings
  • I also box up most of our sweaters and coats and store them under the trailor. Not all of them it's still snowing up here. Expecting 8 inches tomorrow. Have to make room for my summer clothes. There really is no spring up here, the summer is like spring.
  • Dont try to do it all in one day if you get tired stop and finish later. No hurry!

on 5/5/2009 I've cleaned a relative's trailer and the limited space certainly creates a challenge as you say - 5* - B.
