Rachael Ray Home by Legacy Classic Furniture Bedroom Door Chest 6020-2210: Clean through your closets by removing the clothes first and replacing them only after you have amply vacuumed and wiped each shelf.<\/p><\/div>\n

Have you noticed how the sun has lovingly peeked in the last weeks? The coldness of winter has given way to the fresh blossoms of the season and it\u2019s time for that ritual once again \u2013 spring cleaning. But would you go through it like it\u2019s just another one of those cleaning projects in the past? It\u2019s time to go beyond the usual vacuuming and mopping and for you to consider deep cleaning this spring.<\/p>\n

Lamps and Other Lighting Fixtures <\/strong><\/p>\n

Table lamps, fans, lighting fixtures can all accumulate a great amount of dust over time. This can make the colors of these accessories duller, eventually, blocking the light.<\/p>\n

Get those lighting fixtures gleaming once again. Use a soft microfiber duster or cloth.<\/p>\n

Handles, Knobs and Doors <\/strong><\/p>\n

It can only take a few minutes for you to take a tour around the house and take a quick look at the often unnoticed door handles and knobs. Use a cleaning product of your choice to clean up these small door parts.<\/p>\n

Give your front door its much-needed extra love by giving it some deep cleaning. Use warm, soapy water and a soft sponge to clean up.<\/p>\n

To dry, use a soft cloth.<\/p>\n

Scuffs and Dings <\/strong><\/p>\n

Take a look at the walls of your home. Do you see those prominent scuffs and dings? Use a damp, soft cloth and wipe it into a dish soap. Wipe off the scuff marks with a product like Magic Eraser<\/em>. As for those dings, use some paint for touch up.<\/p>\n

Window Frames <\/strong><\/p>\n

The baseboards are likelier to catch your attention than the tops of window frames, right? So, this spring, be different by taking a look at the higher spots. Take out the stepladder then carefully wipe away the dust that has long accumulated up there.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget to include the upper moldings.<\/p>\n

Bookshelves <\/strong><\/p>\n

Books and knickknacks that are stored in shelves tend to accumulate dirt, too. Do this task one shelf after the other. Remove the objects first, then carefully dust the shelves before you return any of the books or other items. This is also the perfect time to check out some books that you might want to donate or store in the attic.<\/p>\n

Uttermost Floor Coverings Zagora 5 X 8 Jute Rug – Beige 71062-5: Clean up underneath by thoroughly vacuuming and sweeping.<\/p><\/div>\n
Underneath Furnishings <\/strong><\/p>\n
Try moving the furniture aside, you are sure to find a good amount of dust there, too. Roll up the rugs as well as the rug pads then vacuum everything underneath. This sure is a lot of work but once you see what\u2019s down there, you will surely be itching to do it right away.<\/p>\n
Upholstered furniture also tends to gather a lot of dust. Look under those cushions and you will see a lot of dust and other dirt. Rotate your sofa cushions to prevent early wear and tear. Be sure to vacuum before putting back the cushions.<\/p>\n
Small Appliances, Oven and Range Hood <\/strong><\/p>\n
Go ahead and clean up the microwave, blender, toaster, mixer and coffee maker. Cleaning these up don\u2019t take too long. After dusting and wiping them, you would surely appreciate the gleam that they can contribute to the overall look of the kitchen.<\/p>\n
A bigger task to look into is the oven. To clean this, you will need a paste of baking soda made by mixing some water with the powder. Apply and leave the paste overnight. You can wipe off the paste the following day.<\/p>\n
Dust and grease accumulate on your range hood. Use a step stool to make sure that you\u2019re doing an effective cleanup. Use warm, soapy water to remove the gunk.<\/p>\n
Grout <\/strong><\/p>\n
Grout is that yucky, light-colored thing that you often see on bathroom tiles. You can clean this up with the use of oxygenated bleach. No less than Martha Stewart advised that you can also resort to grout sealing and a weekly regimen of gentle scrubbing using a grout brush and some pH cleaning products.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
