March, the lamest of months. Nothing to do but wait for slightly better weather and clean your house. Curbly has some tips for you, as well as some suggestions of what to clean. We like this one the best:

DECLUTTER!!! As my Auntie always used to say, “Look one way and pitch the other”. Look, I know it’s hard to get rid of your beloved stuff, but trust me, it’s better this way. If it’s really nice stuff that someone might use, give it away on Freecycle. Do NOT save stuff for a yard sale, unless you’re having that yard sale immediately.

True words, people. True words. —MEGHANN MARCO
