What are some tips for spring cleaning?

When working on a spring cleaning project, replace bedding that is old or worn out to provide a quick makeover for bedroom decors, clean ceiling fan blades and change the direction of ceiling fans to ensure that they are able to provide a cooling breeze during the warmer months of the year, polish wooden floors, and install protective pads on the underside of furnishings. Start the project with a trip to the store to restock your stash of cleaning supplies.

Use a rubber-edged squeegee when cleaning exterior windows. Squeegees that have handle attachments make it easier to clean windows in hard-to-reach areas. Remove and polish light bulbs using a microfiber cloth to remove dust and other debris. Wash blinds using an appropriate wood cleaner and a damp sponge.

Spring cleaning is also the perfect time to clean out a refrigerator. The first step in this process is to wipe up any spills that may stain or discolor surfaces. Throw out old food once a week and wash the interior of the refrigerator with a solution made of baking soda and warm water. Remove shelves and drawers for easy cleaning and use a toothbrush to scrub any hard-to-reach nooks and crannies.
