walter new jersey is how early is too early to clean for pesach don't ask your wife that's for sure oh yeah yeah the woman's nightmare plenty for pesach well let me let me say some words about that that it's really the women go overboard cleaning for peso and by the time it comes to pesach the and by the time it comes to pesach the times that satan night they're so knocked out exhausted they can't enjoy the seder even they're falling asleep and they can't enjoy it so the truth of the matter is the most of the work that's on propresa again most of it is not necessary the women do spring cleaning and they start cleaning the beds and the mattresses and the attic and the seller and it's not necessary you have to what is necessary is where there's real comets and that's why you have to clean but not knock why you have to clean but not knock yourself out and do a spring cleaning and spring everything it says not right it's not is it not right not necessary and it's really overburdensome and there's no reason for it you have here the place the kitchen your dining room a place where compass goes so that's we clean out they have to go clean under closets and things like that it's not necessary so it's really so therefore instead of starting some people start cleaning hanukkah time
