With spring comes new life. It also brings about the perfect time to clean your home and transform it into something fresh. Spring cleaning in your Canby, Oregon home doesn’t need to be one long, drawn out chore after another though. At Oliver Insurance, we understand your time is valuable, which is exactly why we want to give you these spring cleaning tips that take no time to finish at all.
Wash the Fabrics
This is beyond your clothing. This includes the bedspread, the mattress pad, the curtains and the bath mats. Wash the heavier items first, then toss in the fabric curtains and bath mats on a gentle cycle. It’s amazing how much dust and dirt these objects collect throughout the year. If your shower mat isn’t fabric, look towards swapping it out for a new one.
Easy Dusting
Dusting doesn’t need to be a chore. Wiping every corner down with a paper towel just takes way too long. Pick up a duster with an extended handle. This way, you can clean off the TV, bookshelves, ceiling fan and everywhere else without reaching for the paper roll. It is a green way of cleaning and it is done on the fly.
Start Fresh with the Fridge
Most of the odd smells in your home come from opening the fridge and exposing older items. If you don’t use the items, toss it. You can keep most of your condiments, but everything else, it is time to start fresh. A clean fridge is much more satisfying to open, and it makes it easier when returning from the grocery store.
Wash the Cans
Your trash can needs washing too. After holding garbage for the entire year, the plastic does absorb some of the aroma. Take it outside, hose it down, then let it dry. It will be like a new can.
