Quick and Easy Tips for Spring Cleaning

Dredging your way through the mounds of household cleaning duties might make you want to pull your hair out. But there are a few quick tips that can reduce your anxiety over the spring-cleaning madness.

Vacuuming Carpets

More dirt and dust settle in high traffic areas of carpets and rugs. Take more time with these areas. Vacuum around doorways and dining tables where trails of dirt may surface. Only lightly vacuum the rest of the carpet.

Cleaning Outside Windows

Attach a multi-surface window cleaner to your garden hose. First, switch the hose nozzle to “rinse” and spray the windows. Then, change it to “clean” and spray the cleaning fluid. Next, rinse the windows again with clean water. Later, dry them with a microfiber or soft terry cloth to avoid streaks.

Use Steam to Clean

Curtains are a pain to clean. You have to either vacuum or throw them in the washer. To make it easier, use a steamer. You won’t even have to take them down from the windows. A steam cleaner will sanitize, clean, and remove any wrinkles.

Refresh Your Mattress with Baking Soda

While washing your sheets, sprinkle a light coating of baking soda over the mattress. This will lift dirt and deodorize it. Leave the soda on when you remake the bed. Vacuum it up the next time you wash your sheets.

Sofa and Couch Cleaning

Remove the cushions from your sofas and couches and set them aside. Use a hand vacuum or a vacuum attachment to remove crumbs and other debris that gather underneath the cushions. Take a lint roller and run it over all of the cushions to get rid of dust and dirt.
