Spring Cleaning 2021 - Part Two

|

It’s been over a year since the COVID-19 pandemic shut down much of the country and millions of people have been confined to their homes. With all the time spent within the walls of your home, are you feeling the urge to clear away the 2020 dust?

 

If so, you may find these tips and tricks beneficial for getting your home bright and shiny for this summer.

 

Always Start at the Top

In order keep from doing a job twice, it’s wisest to start up high and work your way down a room. There’s nothing worse than realizing that dirt and grime has landed where you’ve just cleaned!

 

All-Natural Cleaner

1 empty spray bottle

2 tbsp white vinegar

½ tsp dish soap

1 tsp baking soda

Water

 

Place the baking soda and dish soap inside the empty spray bottle. Add the vinegar and wait for foaming to subside. Slowly fill the remainder of the bottle with warm water. Shake gently to evenly mix the solution.

 

Kitchen Sink Freshening

Run a few lemon rinds through the garbage disposal to freshen up a smelly kitchen sink!

 

Easy-Clean Dishwasher

Place a mug with vinegar on the top rack of your dishwasher and sprinkle baking soda at the bottom. Run a normal cycle and voila!

 

Removing Pet Hair

A rubber edged squeegee is a great tool for removing pet hair from furniture and carpet.

 

Flip Your Mattress

Want to increase the longevity of your mattress by flipping it every year. Take this opportunity to wash sheets, pillows and mattress covers as well!

 

Use Old Socks to Dust

Cotton socks will gather and keep dust from spreading. Simply put your hand in the sock and wipe down surfaces.

 

Other things to consider:

Sweep under large appliances

Clean windows inside and out

Clean out heater vents and change filter

Replace fire alarm batteries

Vacuum under beds

Clean your vacuum, microwave, and oven

Clean blinds and curtains

 

Now that you have decluttered and cleaned up your space, you might find items that you want to keep, but not necessarily at home. Whether it’s holiday decorations or seasonal items, using a storage unit will free up space in your home and with competitive pricing, it’s also a good solution for your wallet!
