Spring Cleaning 2019

Do you ever see yourself cleaning your entire house during summer? But what could be more cumbersome than to work under the glaring heat of the summer sun? Imagine doing it in winter, though, and you know that mobility then becomes an issue. Fall is no better with its many fallen leaves. So, spring cleaning it is.

 

Welcome, Spring 2019. This is the season that you need to take advantage of in terms of getting all your cleaning projects done. And to make things a lot easier this season, here are some tips on how you can make the most of your cleaning time –

 

Clean the Windows

 

This may not be the most loved spring cleaning tasks of all but it does have its satisfying rewards. If you want to see sparkling clean windows this season, then just soak burp clothes into a bucketful of hot water. Mix two cups of vinegar into the water.

 

You can then use another burp cloth in drying the windows right after cleaning.

 

Here’s a pro tip – you don’t have to wait for spring just to clean your windows. For your family’s and your health as well as safety, you must make time in your calendar for window cleaning. This has to be done more than twice a year.

 

Remember that piling up your cleaning activities will only worsen the grime and dirt that you have dealt with. Plus, having the dirt pile up could have serious physical and mental health effects.

 

So what kind of health issues can you prevent if you’re able to regularly clean your windows?

 

First, there’s the respiratory issue. Pet dander and dust have their ways of triggering asthma attacks. This presents a significant issue especially among children in urban areas.

 

Environmental allergens can contribute to severe asthma attacks as can other triggers such as mildew, mold, animal droppings (e.g. mice, rats, and cockroaches), and dust.

 

Keep in mind to pay attention to your cleaning products, too, especially when you have family members with existing respiratory issues. A lot of products especially those with pine or citrus have VOCs or volatile organic compounds that can contribute to asthma attacks.

 

Pest-Proof Your Home

 

Spring is also a good time to pest-proof your habitat. Get rid of potential sources of food for rodents and bugs. Clean the china cabinet and the places where the food and dishware go.

 

Be sure to check for food debris and get rid of them immediately. Buy food containers that are sealed to make sure that your home becomes pest-proof.

 

You can also use vinegar and baking soda to get rid of tough stains in the oven. Just add a bit of water plus some effort on your part and you’ll have an oven that’ll look brand new.

 

Why, spring is also a great time to invite friends over and share your baked goodies.

 

Check for Water

 

Damp areas and water leaks are the breeding grounds for mold and mildew. Clean the damp areas with a diluted solution of bleach. Be sure to keep the room well ventilated so that you’ll be able to control the humidity and eventually discourage the recurrence of mold.

 

And since you just came from a season that’s cold and wet, better have your roofing and plumbing systems checked, too.

 

Clean the Indoor Stuff

 

Of course, don’t forget the stuff indoors such as the lampshades, fans, mattresses, the shower case, the grout lines in your bathroom tiles, etc.

 

There’s a whole plethora of spring cleaning duties to attend to so better be ready with your lint roller, wax paper, cleaning soaps, spray bottles, water, vacuum, squeegee, washer, baking soda, and be ready to harness the power of the sun.
