It’s almost springtime, and for many of us, the warm weather has already arrived. This means the spring cleaning season is also here again! If the prospect overwhelms you, or if you’re ready to jump in and just need some ideas, check out these top tips.
Windows
Clean your glass panes on a cloudy day or when they’re in the shade. That way, direct sunlight won’t dry your cleaner before you can wipe it all away. Try using horizontal strokes on one side and vertical on the other to help you easily see which side any streaks are on!
Garbage Cans
Don’t just take out the trash. Clean it out too! Spray cans down with a hose, follow up with disinfectant spray, scrub thoroughly, then rinse. You can then wipe them off or leave them upside down to drip dry.
Mattresses
While you’re washing your sheets, don’t forget to clean your mattresses! Use the hose extension of your vacuum to clean all sides, then lightly spray with a fabric freshener. Rotate the mattress before replacing the sheets; this will help it wear evenly, which will make it last longer.
Let your dishwasher help!
You can run much more than just dishes through this kitchen appliance, saving you time otherwise spent scrubbing by hand. Utilize the dishwasher for cleaning things like glass light fixture globes, toothbrush holders, pet dishes, and more. Just make sure to choose a gentle wash cycle and skip the heated dry.
Spring cleaning can seem intimidating, but armed with the right tools and knowledge, you’ll soon have your house sparkling clean!
