YES, and this year it will be major. I am furloughed from work and will have all the time to do it. There is no excuse not for this year to be major.

Yes, mostly drapes, cleaning kitchen cupboards, pulling appliances out, etc. Other than that, I keep up our home regularly. The way our German clean-freak Mama raised us.

I do it outside and my wife does the inside.

I feel happy when the sun comes out so I feel happy to clean.

I start in the winter when I can't go outside.

I don't consciously call it that, but when the weather turns nice you can finally get things done. We always did spring cleaning when I was a kid.

I live in a tiny home and keep up with my cleaning all year. I do have help with the heavy lifting once a month. As everyone is at home, I will just do what I can until my cleaners are able to help me

I try to keep up with it all year long. I haven't got the energy for "huge" amounts of cleaning all at once.

one should always be "au courant" with a clean home.

I use to, faithfully but living alone, I just keep up with what needs to be done all year. Grateful I don't have to make it a federal project like I did in the past.

I really have trouble with background noise. Including music. If I try to play music, it doesn't take long for me to get agitated and turn it off.

As a retired teacher, I spent most of my work life getting things done with plenty of noisy activity all around. You have to focus!
