Spring Cleaning Tips and Tricks

Gonna be perfect spring cleaning weather on Saturday, so if you’re planning on sprucing up the house before the family visits for Easter dinner, here are some tips and tricks for you:

Stinky microwave: Nuke a bowl of water with a few slices of lemon.

Musty smell: Odor-killing light bulbs like Fresh2 and O-ZoneLite

Pet fur on fabric: A spray bottle with one part liquid fabric softener to six parts water. It kills the fabric charge that makes pet hair cling.

Soiled toys, etc: Use the dishwasher for everything from toys to oven grates to refrigerator drawers to shower caddies.

Marked-up scuffed walls: some WD-40 works better than repainting. Spray and wipe away with a damp sponge.

Dusty electronics, including TVs and computer screens: Use one of those dryer sheets. It removes dust and kills the electric charge that attracts grime in the first place.
