Top Spring Cleaning Hacks

Spring is almost here and cleaning your property will brighten your space and leave you feeling fresh. If you are listing your property or renting a space, here are some top tips to make the property ready for new energy!

1. MAGIC ERASERS

These little guys are your friends for everything from walls to shoes. They even sell them in sheets now. The magic eraser sheets are perfect for cleaning showers and bathtubs. Rip one out, spray some cleaning foam on your bathtub and shower walls and start scrubbing. When complete throw your magic eraser sheet away. Another place to use a Magic Eraser is on your baseboards. Scrub off those baseboards and stair rails, then after they are dry, swipe a fabric softener sheet across the baseboards to prevent future dust and grime.

2. Dust Off Those Fan Blades

The easy way to dust off tall fans and not cover yourself in dust is to get an old pillowcase and some pledge. Spray the pledge on the fan blades, slide the pillowcase over the blade and voila dust goes in the pillowcase and not your eyes. 

3. Clean that Funky Smelling Washing Machine Drum

This appliance is often forgotten during cleaning. Pour in some white vinegar and baking soda and run on hot for the longest cycle. Once complete the drum will be clean and smell better. 

4. The AC Unit Deserves Attention To

The last thing you want to be inhaling in the warmer months is dust, mold, and dirt. Grab your vacuum hose and take away all the grime on the AC unit. 

5. Carpet Stains

You might not have the money to rent a steam cleaner or hire a professional carpet cleaner. Do you have carpet stains that you want to remove? Spray a mixture of white vinegar and water over the stain. Next, take a towel throw it over the stain and iron over the towel with your clothing iron. After a few swipes of the iron, the stain should come up. 

Lastly, get your home smelling fresh. Boil hot water in a stock pot with rosemary, sweet orange, and some lemon. During the holidays substitute lemon and rosemary for cinnamon and clove. Get your home spring ready with these tips. Let us know if you have any new ideas.
