Earlier this week, I launched our spring cleaning series.  We started with the Bedrooms.  Once those are done, you are ready to move onto your general living space – -your family and/or living room(s).  Some of you may have more than one, so you’ll just repeat this process in each room.  Others may just have one (which will make your job a little simpler).
As a reminder, here are my general cleaning tips:
- What works for one person doesn’t work for everyone else. Â So, take what you want from the checklist and skip the rest. Â You might even have a few things you do that I don’t have listed.
- When cleaning, always clean top to bottom and then wet to dry. Â That ensures you are not reworking anything you may have already spent time cleaning.
- The best solution to use to clean is a bucket of warm water with a little bit of dish soap in it. Â You can also drop in a tsp or 2 of vinegar to add an extra bit of “oomph” to your cleaning.
- Use microfiber cloths to minimize streaks.
- When cleaning glass or windows, use newspaper or coffee filters as those usually produce fewer streaks.
- Avoid terry cloth when cleaning as it leaves lint behind.
