Spring cleaning made easy!

Hello everyone! I hope you all had a fantastic Easter! I had a wonderful day with my family! The weather was amazing!!! Which is a first here in Michigan. It always seems like it's either cold or raining on Easter every year. So this year was a much needed treat!


Since the weather has gotten nicer, people are starting to come outside more, the sound of kids playing is in the air and I have been seeing a lot of people out cleaning their yards and doing a little spring cleaning. So I thought why not give you a few tips that could make your Spring cleaning easier!


Lets start in the Kitchen!

To clean chrome, glass or stainless steel appliances, fill a spray bottle with a mixture of 50 percent rubbing alcohol, and 50 percent water.

This combination leaves surfaces squeaky clean! And is a great combination to have around the home all year round to keep germs at bay!

Cleaning your refrigerator can seem like a big task, but your can knock this out in no time with these tips. Lets get started!

( Some people suggest that you unplug your refrigerator and store your food in coolers while your cleaning. This is something that you could do if you feel like you don't want to waste energy. )

1. Check expiration dates. Throw out anything that has gone bad and items that you will never use that have been sitting for awhile.

2. Take out shelves and drawers and clean with warm soapy water.

Include a wipe down of the inside or your refrigerator as well as stuck on spills and messes.

3. Then reorganize! Organizing your refrigerator gives you a better view of what you have. When organized, food doesn't get forgotten about and you have a better view of what's inside!

Living Room!

To revive drab drapes, take them down, remove hooks and run them through an air-fluff cycle in the dryer with a damp towel (to attract the dust) for 15 minutes. Re-hang immediately. Wipe blinds with a damp cloth.

Dust your home thoroughly. Take everything off shelves, tabletops and dressers to dust. Now is also the time to get to all the places you've been neglecting throughout the year, including ceiling fans, above kitchen cabinets and baseboards and doorways.

~Bedrooms~

Buying a nice mattress can be expensive, and you want it to last. But over time, mattresses can wear unevenly. So, extend the life of your mattress by vacuuming it and turning at least four times per year, alternating between end-over-end and side-over-side rotation.

It's time to put away those winter clothes! Instead of having them take up space in your closet,

switch out cool-weather clothing for warm-weather clothes. Be sure to wash or dry-clean winter clothing and store them in clear bins!

~Outside Cleanup~

Now that the weather is getting warmer, it's time to get outside and clean up!
Sweep away those pesky leaves and dirt that has blown in this past winter by sweeping away debrie from sliding glass door tracks and porches and patios.
 

Wash outdoor furniture. Dishwashing detergent works great for most materials!
Or you could use a multi purpose solution, but make sure that it doesn't fade or stain the material.

Here is a printable check list that you could print and follow to make your Spring cleaning go smoothly!

I hope you all find this helpful in your Spring cleaning endevors!
