Moving and Cleaning

I’m going through a move right now. Of course it’s standard to clean the premises for the next occupant after the furnishings have all been cleared. But it’s been interesting to find how much unexpected deep cleaning to my own furnishings a move allows. As I’ve been getting my things packed and cleared off, I see things I haven’t attended to in a long time. Two examples: hazy glass on my framed pictures and the dust that has accumulated behind my books on my bookshelves. It’s a nice ritual to get at these accumulations to be off to a clean start at the new place!
