GOOD LIFE INDEX
Aaah! Spring!

The CEO's guide to allowing spring into the house--for his spouse.

By Larissa Fernand

The Good Life IndexIt's spring, and the spiders have gone. What's left behind is a maze of cobwebs, dust in hidden corners, and cocktail-party marks on your upholstery.

So, where do you start?

By calling in the spring-cleaners, of course.

Yes, you can actually pick up that phone, ask them to wave their magic wand--and, woosh!, their elves will do the rest.

Obviously, they will charge you. The amount depends on the area, the number of bathrooms, and the furniture. What is not taken into account are the hours spent cleaning up.

Moreover, nobody will quote a fixed price. The cleaners visit you, and after assessing what is to be spring-cleaned, quote their figure.

It may seem expensive, but your wife is going to love it if you let the spring into your house.
