Mother Nature is playing tricks on us these days, one day we get hints at warmth, the next it snows, rain the following day. It would be nice not to have to experience all four seasons in the same week! But nevertheless, Spring is trying hard to make it through the last of the dreary Winter and with any luck we’ll soon be feeling the sun on our skin (hello vitamin D!) and the grass on our toes (goodbye snow!).
I don’t know about you, but I actually welcome the cleaning that comes with Spring. Okay, not the muddy footprints on my floor kind of cleaning, but those days that you can throw open the windows and break out the Swiffer 360 Duster Extender Kit and tackle the cobwebs that the spiders have been busy working on all Winter and making the house smell fresh again!
Febreze is my go-to for a sweet smelling home! From the Dual Oil Warmers to the Air Effects, it can be a little addicting to take the house from drab to fab in the odour department. Especially when Spring colds hit and the house is anything but clean! Sadly, our family spent all of March Break being knocked down by the cold and flu bug. All the more reason to break out the Spring cleaning and germ control regime a little bit early this year!
