Spring is in the air. So is pollen. The sun is shining, and though the final frost date is not until April 15, Old Man Winter seems to have officially left the South.

That can only mean one thing: spring cleaning. It’s that time of renewal, to say “out with

the old, in with the new,” and to start fresh.

Sometimes, it’s an overwhelming task. Experts, such as the people at the Vancouver-based 1-800-GOT-JUNK and Bill Bowers, local owner of a Merry Maids franchise, suggest starting with one room at a time and working your way through to make the project less

overwhelming.
