Isn't it nice that spring is still hanging around in Florida? Most people in the United States are just about to open their windows for fresh air. However, in the Sunshine State, we are about ready to close them back up as the heat and humidity return. Regardless of where you live, this is the time of year to clean and organize. To help, here are 5 fast spring cleaning hacks for Southwest Floridians and for TikTok Tuesday.

I fight to keep my windows open for as long as possible. It is so nice to have fresh air and give the AC a much needed break. But it has been so windy and the pollen has been so bad. It ends up caked on more than my car. There is a thin layer on some of my window seals and furniture too. Time for some spring cleaning which I find tedious.

This is a task I can't stand but need to do. Cleaning the oven is now on my Spring Cleaning to do list.

Social media has been full of videos showing people proudly cleaning and organizing their spaces. Most were annoying and made me feel pressured to jump on the bandwagon. Some people were cleaning things I had not even thought about and just made my list get longer. However, others had great tips and spring cleaning hacks that made the process look easier than I had imagined. To you and me both, I gathered a few of the videos to share.

If you don't have a TikTok account, don't worry. I've made it easy to view by taking these links from mine. Simply scroll down and hit play. You can watch from this post without getting into trouble at work. In addition, all of these videos are office and kid friendly.
