Tips to Spring Clean Your Home
Spring is by far one of my favorite times of the year. I don't know if it is because I was born this month or the change in knowing that warmer weather is upon us, especially if you are on the east coast.
Now is a perfect time to begin spring cleaning your home. Here are tips to start spring cleaning your home.
Your Cabinets
Over time, build-up can collect on your kitchen cabinets — especially if you don't run the exhaust hood over your range while you cook to keep grease from settling. To remove build-up use a "cabinet cream" to cut through the dirt and leave wood moisturized.
Your Windows
Instead of just wiping down the inside, make sure you take to the outdoors during spring cleaning season to remove spots and smudges you don't usually have time to tackle. Pro tip? Wash 'em on a cloudy day to ensure that the sun won't dry the cleanser before you're done wiping.
Your Stainless Steel
What's the point of having stainless steel in your kitchen if it's not bright and clean? To make your surface sparkle again,We suggest using a light mist of wax-based aerosol spray — but make sure you don't put on too much or you might leave the surface grimy. Continue to use this cleaner once or twice a week.
Your Countertops
The first step to preventing granite stains: Get your countertops sealed a few times as soon as it's installed, says kitchen designer Florence Perchuk.You'll know it's sealed properly when water beads and forms droplets on the surface. Then have it sealed again a year later — perhaps during spring cleaning season? After that, you'll just want to make sure you wipe up accidental spills as soon as they happen.
Your Dishwasher
To ensure this heavy-duty cleaning appliance gets all the tomato sauce stains off of your dinner plates, you have to clean it too. First, remove any bits of food on the bottom. Then, run a cycle with a specialty cleanser made for your dishwasher about once a month.
