Staying closer to home, I guess this is a prime time to keep my mind and body busy at spring cleaning.  Yes, it appears certain areas might be being sanitized constantly, but there are areas I can reach higher and polish that I try to do in the spring out of the line of germ fire (I hope).  Perhaps it will give me some feeling of peace and accomplishment.  I wish you all the same.

 

Maybe in the process I can contribute to decluttering!

Exactly. I'm doing the same thing. A sense of accomplishment goes a long way now.

I defrosted my upright freezer today and the freezer above my refrigerator in the garage. I have way too much food in there.  Everytime I opened door, stuff fell out.  

 

It better now, but still crammed full.

I have been cleaning ( and decorating) for the last 3 weeks. I cleaned out my tiny refrigerator yesterday and will work on my tiny freezer above the refrigerator today. I do this cleaning every 3-4 months. It helps me to stay organized, inventory what I have or need, and ultimately feel more in control. Now that I am older (old?) and help care for my 93 year old mother, I need more time to complete these tasks. But I still feel better once they are done.

Both my husband and I have decided now is a good time to deep clean too.  Generally I do it by myself, so it's nice he's willing to help this time.

Us too. Our living spaces have all been deep cleaned. I'll probably do the rec room in the lower level next weekend. House looks and feels good. We are scheduled to clean church tomorrow after services are over. We are a rural community so I doubt they will cancel like some of the bigger churches in town are doing.

I thought about doing some cleaning, but decided to hold off for now.   

 

If I clean, and then some of us get the virus, I’m going to have to clean again, so I will just wait.

Dan Hughes has deep cleaned for years, even using a HEPA vaccum cleaner on his mattress.  He has stated many times that he vaccums regularly and does a deep cleaning every few weeks.

Like many of you here I have also spent time spring cleaning. It is a good feeling after completing each room. Since staying home is encouraged I am accomplishing things that I had put off doing.
