Spring into "Spring" with some Speed Cleaning

Spring is just around the corner (for some, it's already here) and it's time to jump into some fast cleaning habits. One that I found caught my eye when I was browsing around the World Wide Web and one that you can do everyday. It's something from RealSimple.com, one of the few website that I frequent for information and some helpful hints.

Every Day Kitchen Duties:

• Wipe down the sink after doing the dishes or loading the dishwasher (30 seconds).

• Wipe down the stove top (one minute).
