Spring Cleaning 101- Useful Tidbits To Help Along The Way



Spring Is In The Air!

It's time to start gearing up for a through spring cleaning! I have some useful tips to help along the way.

1. The Button Scraper

Sew a large plastic or wooden button on the corner of a washcloth.

It makes a great scraper for those hard to remove pieces of food.

2. Rinse Aid

Buy a inexpensive watering can. It makes rinsing the tub so much easier.

3. No Plunger Plumbing

If you find yourself with a plugged drain and no plugger, just use a frisbee. Fill the sink with hot water place the frisbee over the drain hole and pump it hard, several times. It works pretty well!

4. Add a shine to your shoe

Take a small square of plush carpet and glue it on a block of wood and whala! Instant shoe shiner.

Do not throw away those shoulder pads just yet also shine great and a great furniture gripper too!

5. Make your own dishwasher

Take a small baby food jar poke a few holes in the lid, Then take a sponge (cellulose is the best) cut it to the size of lid glue it to lid. Fill with dishsoap and screw on the sponge-lid for a great and easy grip dishwasher!

6. Pantyhose will make your floors sparkle

They will bring a extra gleem to your floor if used as a buffing pad.

7. Got a old shaving brush?

They are great for dusting fragile antiques.

8. Got a extra car scraper?

They are great for dust bunnies behind the fridge.

9. For hard to reach areas

For dusty hard to reach area a soft bristle paint brush works great.

The small sponge ones are great to and the hold soap and water well too!

10. Dustpans

Just sprinkle a little water in the dust pan to keep the dust from flying and stuff from falling out of the pan.

Rubber dustpans are great for easy wet spill clean ups.


Blessings,
