Today I did notice a few crumbs in the cabinets. That is the extent of it. I'm in trouble!

nah, you'll be all right
has anybody heard of anybody who didn't sit down at a seder, chometz-free? a single person who just didn't get their act together and make it in time?
rhetorical question ...

why indeed? I give up.

uh, so sometimes you put dirty pots away in the cabinet? 
maybe someone can enlighten me as to the purpose of rewashing pots, pans, and dishes that were already washed (which is why they are in the cabinets!)

if you like doing that kinda thing ...  Nothing to do with Pesach of course, especially when you're going away anyway. Wanna feel a part of the general cleaning atmosphere sarahd? wanna be able to share cleaning anecdotes with friends (like on this forum)? sigh ...

Motek - I may be mistaken, but I think many people's Minhag is to scrub the pots before Pesach to get off any grime that collects around the handles or that's burnt into the bottom, or other stuff that doesn't come off with the usual washing (unless you're a very meticulous pot-washer all year round). Since the Chabad Minahg is to sell even actual Chametz, we certainly don't worry about stuf stuck to pots that doesn't bother us all year round.

Whew! Thanks, hadasa. I do not put away dirty pots, Motek,  but I also don't Easy-off burnt on grease and such each time I cook.
The reason I was going to do spring cleaning now is - true - because now is the season. Everyone's cleaning, so am I. I know myself, and I am not going to start cleaning after Pesach. It's now or never?!

One more room and kitchen are left to clean and one car.
but shopping and cooking has to be done too...
so you can put 'easy off' on the bottom of the burned pots and pans???

Depends what the pots are made of. Actually, I use that St. Moritz spray. It emits terrible fumes, but works like a dream.

no doubt women do it, I just wonder why
is it truly a Torah-based minhag or the now-or-never philosophy?

done. just have the car left and to cover the dining room table.
We will be eating pesadick now. We basically do anyway because of food allergies. My husband gets crackers and bread and keeps it in his work fridge until pesach with cheese or chumas. The kids don't notice unless I say something. I am very creative with my cooking so they miss nothing. I start really cooking sunday. Menus today, and shopping list motzei shabbos. Shopping sunday and sunday night I will put up sugar and potatoes for potato starch.

Wow!!! Some ppl are really ahead of the game. I still think I am doing ok but it is good to see others are too. The bedrooms are all clean and I started to wipe down the fridge and stove so I will only have to go over again lightly on Sun. Shabbos is chametz. When I started with the kitchen I was suddenly hit with the reality that Pesach is almost here. I can't believe in a few days my kitchen will be covered!!! AHAHAH!!! Am I the only one that is feeling a "little" overwhelmed? I am trying to take breaks and keep the music on to calm my nerves. Pesach is such a big job between cleaning and covering and cooking. Boy do I appreciate my mother!!! This is my first Pesach and we are having a lot of guests!

I hired a cleaning lady to help with pesach cleaning , all was well, the last two visits, today she didn't show up  . For a while I was feeling panicked , but I think I have it together now (I think). My upstairs is done, I'll just close off the basement (all the toys), maybe wash a few. All that's left is: Living room,
Dining room,
Den
Kitchen 
Shopping
Cooking
Just realized that locking the basement is not an option, my sister and her family are coming to stay, so I can add basement to my list.

today had a cleaning lady to do my stove. that is the one job I dislike the most about pesach cleaning.I so I just have to go over itto make sure she got everything. Monday I have 4 hours of cleaning help hopefully they'll finish the kitchen. All I have to do is finish the living room. No more cooking. Shabbos is already ready and the rest of the time I have frozen food or we will go out. My kitchen (stove and sinks) has to be ready by monday night so we leave it 24hours to kasher on tuesday night and the rest of the house has to be finished by wednesday morning when the carpet cleaners are coming,
