Weekend roundup

Spring is in the air, if not in our step as we all approach our spring cleaning routines. (Get time-saving tips and advice in our full Spring Cleaning Guide.)

And, it turns out, the most-dreaded part of the seasonal cleanup is organizing, according to last week's poll. Nearly half - 44 per cent - of Yourhomers said they loathe dealing with all that paperwork and clutter, while washing the windows came in second with 22 per cent.

Other hated chores included walls, baseboards and "other", all coming in with 11 per cent. Personally, it's the baseboards and windows that get me every time!

This week, we're still sticking with a cleaning theme, but I want to know if you've made the switch to eco-friendly or homemade cleaners. Do you check for the eco-logo on your laundry detergent or make your countertops shine with a vinegar mixture? Read the full story, and let me know in the front page poll (scroll down, on the left.)
