Best Spring Cleaning Tips

Even if you’re not planning on selling your home in Nanaimo, this time of year is when those unpopular spring cleaning chores begin to rear their ugly heads.

If you’re overwhelmed by all of your spring cleaning chores and don’t know where to start, here’s a list of the top spring cleaning tips to get you through your spring cleaning:

Windows

Clean or vacuum the drapes, being sure to get the inside ledges as well. If you’ve got mini blinds vacuum or clean them with a static duster. Use an even mixture of vinegar and water and old newspapers on your window glass.

Closets

Clean out your closets and donate items that you haven’t used recently to charity. You can also wash or dry clean and store the seasonal clothing that you won’t use until next year.

Bedrooms

This is a good time to flip the mattress and clean the bed frame. Try sprinkling some baking soda on the mattress, let it sit for a few minutes, and then vacuum it up to freshen it up.

Dust Fans and Ceiling Lights

It’s amazing how dusty those fan blades and ceiling light fixtures can get without your even realizing it. Using the brush attachment on your vacuum is one easy way to suck up that dust.

Floors

Spot clean your carpet and rugs and damp map or oil soap your hardwood floors. To freshen up your carpets, sprinkle an even mix of baking soda and borax, let it sit for 15 or 20 minutes, the vacuum.

Smoke Detectors

If your smoke, radon and carbon monoxide detectors aren’t hard wired into your electrical system, spring is a great time to change out the batteries. It’s better to do it now than to wait until those irritating beeping sounds start at the most in opportune of times!
