Spring Cleaning

Ahhh let the spring cleaning begin!  Seriously, I do love to spring clean.  I like to get behind things and under things and just give the house that big overhaul.  Even though this weekend was chilly here, I was motivated to start.  I like to try and do one big project per week.  For me, this is obtainable and not overwhelming.  The first thing I did was clean behind my oven.  This is not for the faint hearted to look at. You might vomit when you see the dirt and grossness that was on the side on my oven and behind it.  I am just keeping it real!!!!

Before

Seriously....

Originally I was just going to use some Basic H but when I saw the mess I decided to pull out the big guns and go with the Scour Off.  No lie, it took about 3 minutes to clean this mess!

After


So much better!!!!

Then it was off to the floor under the oven.  I promise, this is just one years worth of ick!
Somehow even a little plastic knife got all the way under (note the blue handle in the corner)!
If you weren't grossed out enough, here is a close up:(

This was actually simple to clean up.  I was surprised that I didn't even have to really scrub.  I just sprayed some basic H and let it sit for a few second.  It wiped right up with a microfiber cloth.  


The difference is crazy!  So, what are you doing first on your spring cleaning list?  Have you attempted to clean behind your oven?  I would love to see some pictures!  Happy (almost) Spring!!!
