HOUSE CLEANING!

Reduce your cleaning stress by using these tips from cleaning professionals!

Keeping your home clean and tidy is an effortless way to reduce daily stress. But the act of cleaning itself can make some of us feel anxious.

Microfiber cloths are your “must-have” cleaning tool!

Microfiber cloths are better at cleaning surfaces than sponges and paper towels. They are also machine washable and quick drying, making them far less likely to hold onto germs. Many hospitals have converted to microfiber cloths, towels and mops.

Try baking soda for cleaning tougher messes!

While a microfiber cloth is perfect for quickly cleaning up small messes, use baking soda for bigger food related messes. Sprinkle some baking soda on a cloth and wipe down any areas that have grease build up.

Give it a couple of minutes and then follow up by wiping the area with a clean, damp cloth to pick up the residue.

Steam clean your microwave!

A little steam can make that stuck-on mess a whole lot easier! Put a bowl of hot water inside and set the timer for 5 minutes. The steam created by heating the water will loosen the grime in your microwave and make it easier to wipe off with a cloth.

Clean up dust, dirt and crumbs!

Use a strong adhesive tape or a lint roller to pick up dust, dirt and crumbs pretty much anywhere around the house including lamp shades, drawers and fabrics.

Use your vacuum attachments!

Use vacuum attachments to dust and clean the blinds, vents, cabinets and pretty much anything else you notice is dusty. This is great for a quick cleaning before guests come over.
