Here are the top five chores we take care of when it’s spring-cleaning time . . .

  1. The windows.  69% of people who plan to do some spring-cleaning said they’ll clean their windows.
  1. The blinds and curtains, 58%.  So the windows are definitely the most popular AREA to clean.
  1. Deep-cleaning the bathrooms, 56%.

The survey also found the top three OUTDOOR chores are getting our lawn in shape . . . making sure the air conditioner works . . . and cleaning the gutters.
