Although many people enjoy and even look forward to giving the whole house a yearly once-over, not everyone has the time or the desire to participate in the custom of spring cleaning. If your idea of a good time doesn’t involve a bucket of warm soapy water or your schedule is so packed you don’t even have time to make a mess--much less clean it up--there’s good news: Some experts agree that it just isn’t necessary.

But since you’re in no hurry, next week we’ll post tips for those who are chomping at the bit to get started.
