Spring is here and the birds are not the only ones who are ready to be active. Many have been cooped up in the house for too long and are starting to get fed up with the clutter around them. We all know how spring cleaning can be overwhelming so here are some easy tips that will help you get those chores done quicker.
Lemon is a multi-use fruit! Not only can you make delicious summertime beverages with them but they have many uses around the house as well. You can cut a lemon in half and use it to scrub out those hard water stains on your faucets and even get rid of those blemishes on your cutting board. When you are done, use the rinds to freshen up the garbage disposal. Throw some lemon, lime or even oranges in a bowl with water & vinegar into the microwave and let it steam away all that splattered food.
Speaking of vinegar, it is also another solution for helping you clean around the house this spring. It can help get rid of that hard water build up in your shower head which can cause low pressure. Fill a bag with white vinegar, secure it around the head in your shower and let it sit overnight. Just make sure you run the shower first for a minute before jumping in or you might not smell the best.
Does your grill still have caked on residue? Spray it with white vinegar to help loosen the gunk and then scrub it with half of an onion. The acid from the onion will help remove any leftover bits. Vinegar can also be mixed into a solution with water and liquid soap to help you clean all the mirrors and windows in your house. Many people still insist on using newspaper to give you the ultimate streak free shine but coffee filters can also be used to get that pristine look.
There are many DIY cleaning tips nowadays such as using a butter knife to clean your air vents and even how to use a dustpan to fill your mop bucket. Check out these articles for some of the best spring cleaning hacks!
