Spring is finally here!

I don’t know about you, but I’ve been ready for spring since last spring ended! It’s been a long, cold, dark winter in New England. I can’t tell you how exciting it is to finally start prepping my home, inside and out for warmer weather. It really puts a smile on my face!

April really seems to be the 1st month of spring cleaning for families, which it always has been for me, and was for my own mother. (Believe me, the McClelland household has a lot to do to prep our home for spring.) I love to give our house a full top to bottom cleaning to kick-off spring, it really makes everything sparkle and shine. It’s funny, my sons always know that as soon as baseball season begins for them, mom starts her spring cleaning.

To kick off my Spring Cleaning this year, I’ve partnered with Tide to tackle some Spring Cleaning Challenges with my best friend Vera Sweeney. Tide’s new product Tide Oxi Multi-Purpose Stain Remover can help clean a variety of areas around the house. I’m going to be putting Tide Oxi to (some VERY) good use as I tackle my spring cleaning. This is Tide’s 1st ever product that can be used inside and outside the laundry room, and since you all know I’m a Tide lover and loyalist, I’m extremely excited to try out Tide Oxi and see what it can do. Believe it or not, Tide Oxi can be used more than 225 ways throughout your home. I LOVE cleaning options, so this is perfect for someone like me. You can use it on tile and grout, bathtubs, carpets, upholstery and patio furniture. I also love that you can use Tide Oxi with Tide Original detergent to provide better stain removal. As an additive to detergent, Tide Oxi provides better stain removal and brightens whites and colors and won’t ruin clothes like other Oxi products.

So what is my biggest Spring Cleaning Challenge?

Vera and I will be sharing our Spring Cleaning Challenges with you and how we are planning on tackling them!

My husband and I left all of our patio furniture on our deck throughout the winter. Not good, I know. Usually we move everything into our garage, but we didn’t have any room for everything this year. I will say, the furniture was not all covered, so… they need a VERY good and thorough cleaning before I will let anyone sit down and enjoy a meal. Instead of paying a service to clean our furniture, I’m going to clean it with the Tide Oxi. I’m SO ready to get my deck set-up and ready for the spring. We love to eat dinner outside in the spring and summer because it’s so much fun to enjoy the fresh air. My husband and I even let the boys go play in the backyard while we enjoy a cup of coffee or some dessert together. Our patio really becomes a centerpiece to our spring season, so getting it nice and clean is very important and essential.
