You're not lazy Nancy, you live in a different time!
My great grandfather every spring would pull every last stick of furniture out of the house into the front yard and clean every surface of the house with ammonia.

I remember when I first got married one of DHs aunts asked my MIL if I was a good housekeeper.
Do you guys have husbands that help with the cleaning or the cooking?I'm amazed at men who do because mine doesn't. DH has a cousin who helps with the cleaning and does alot of the cooking at his house.I would love to have someone cook for me once in a while.

I think "spring cleaning" means stuff like changing over bureaus and closets from winter to summer wear, changing and cleaning heavy draperies for lighter spring/summer weight window treatments, changing over the linens from winter to summer weight, cleaning windows inside and out (easy to do anytime now with tilt-ins), washing blinds (taking them down, laying them in the tub of soapy water and really scrubbing the ropes and trims), stripping old wax from floors and rewaxing (who does that anymore?), and getting your porch and patio and outdoor tables and chairs cleaned up and ready for use. It's a great catch-all term, but I think its use is definitely generational; it'll probably die with us.
I used to spring clean and didn't understand why since I really keep up with things all year. The only thing I might consider srping cleaning is doing some of the windows and the curtains if they look extra grungy. But even those I do randomly all year.
It was a big thing with older generations. Some of it I thinks goes along with Passover and maybe changing drapes over to lighter curtains for the warmer weather.
You are definitely not lazy. It is a different time.

A few weeks back Dh said he did the laundry. What he did was put some of his clothes in the washer.I then put them in the dryer and then took them out and put them in his closet.
