Spring Cleaning: Helpful Tips
Hello, friends! Can you believe it is already Spring? We sure can’t. Although we have had unusual weather these past few weeks, it looks like it is finally going to get warmer, which means it is time for some Spring Cleaning! Although “Spring Cleaning” can bring about many different feelings, we can all agree that Spring is the perfect time to live by the phrase: “out with the old and in with the new.” Even our real estate team needs a little reminder every now and then to give our homes some extra love. Here are 7 simple and useful tips to help lighten the load this Spring season (hgtv.com):
- The best refrigerator cleaner is a combination of salt and soda water. The bubbling action of the soda water combines with the abrasive texture of the salt to make a great cleaner.
- The best way to get rid of lime buildup around the faucet is to lay a paper towel over the fixture, soak it with vinegar and let it set for an hour. The deposits will soften and become easier to remove.
- Clean screens with a scrap of carpeting. It makes a powerful brush that removes all the dirt.
- Clean windows with a rag and soapy water, and then dry them with another rag. You can also go to an auto-parts store and buy a windshield squeegee, which cleans very well.
- If drapes are looking drab, take them out of the window, remove the hooks and run them through the air fluff cycle in the dryer along with a wet towel for 15 minutes. Hang them back in the windows immediately.
- Clean the blades of a ceiling fan by covering them with a coat of furniture polish. Wipe off the excess and lightly buff.
- Sometimes comforters, blankets, and pillows don’t need to be cleaned, but they do need to be aired out after a long winter in your closed-up home. Take them outside and hang them on a clothesline for a day.
We hope these tips offer you motivation to get out there and get cleaning!
