Are you ready to scrub the winter blues out of your home? Before you dive into some heavy duty spring cleaning, it’s important to remember that cleaning isn’t always as simple as it seems. With today’s powerful cleaning products and high-tech cleaning aids, there’s plenty of room for error. Watch out for these mistakes as you gear up to clean!
When cleaning your hardwood floors, don’t reach for any old cleaning product. First, make sure that it works with your material and finish. Wax, for instance, might look great on a floor that’s already been wax-coated, but it can diminish other types of hardwood. When it comes to your windows, you can avoid streaks by using lint-free microfiber cloth and a solution of one part white vinegar and one part water. Using an old rag will almost always result in streaky windows. If you’re steam-cleaning your carpet, you have to be very careful. If you don’t allow it enough time to dry before replacing your furniture, you could end up with some serious mold problems. To be safe, allow your carpets to dry for a full day with plenty of air flow in the room. By spring cleaning the smart way, you’ll have a sparkling – and safe! – house.
