House Cleaning Tips

I was sitting down getting ready to write a post for you all about cleaning tips but the sun is beckoning and felt I had to say a little something about how the warm weather makes me feel. It’s the end of April in my neck of the woods and we have been having some wonderfully warm sunny days. It won’t be the end of the rainy days but Oh! How we Are loving it! Some of my flowers are blooming, leaves are green, the butterflies are out, windows are open; the fresh, warm air is like being wrapped in a blanket.

It wasn't always like that though, I mean I kept a clean house but there were days that would get away from us. We'd get busy with kids, school, work and Wham! the mess was there.

This saves you time and energy during the week to relax and not worry so much about picking up after everyone. A dump basket can be of any size, rectangular, square, circular, and design to fit i...
