Obviously, you don’t want to use it until it cools. This may be something that you want to do as often as once a week.
2. QUICK SPRING CLEANING: WASH THE WASHING MACHINE
As the mom of three boys, I have more than my share of smelly laundry! It seems that the washing machine should always be clean…BUT that is not always the case. In fact, there is nothing worse than opening the empty washing machine to a foul smell.
The easy cure is vinegar. You can wipe down the inside of the door with a lightly diluted vinegar solution on a washcloth and then add a cup of vinegar in the drum and run it for a cycle on hot. That’s right! You can keep your washing machine working and smelling great without harsh chemicals! And the best part is that the smell of vinegar will evaporate and will leave your washing machine smelling fresh! You may also be able to add a few drops of essential oil in with the vinegar if you want to make sure that your machine smells extra nice when you are done cleaning it.
3. SPRING CLEANING: ERASE THOSE OLD CARPET STAINS
When you have carpet (or rugs) in the house, you are bound to have old stains! It is inevitable. I find that the worst place is on our stairs. No matter how many times I yell at kids to take their shoes off at the door, the stains magically appear!
4. SPRING CLEANING TIP: SHINE THAT STAINLESS STEEL SINK
After a lot of use, even stainless steel can dull. But a common kitchen ingredient can come to the rescue…baking soda!
Simply sprinkle baking soda over a wet sink and then scrub with a sponge. It will take just a moment to restore the shine (and clean)!
To maintain the shine on the sink spout, grab a sheet of wax paper and rub it well. This will keep the water spots from sticking and will keep your sink looking clean and shiny after you clean it.
5. DUST SCREENS AND WASH WINDOWS WITH COFFEE FILTERS
This is one of those tips that is pure genius. Coffee filters are just the perfect texture to dust TV and computer screens without scratching. With a gentle touch, you can wipe away fingerprints. Just be careful not to press too hard! If using any cleaners, make sure to spray them on the coffee filters and not directly on the electronic screen. Only use a cleaner if needed, a dry coffee filter should suffice for regular cleaning purposes.
