Have you started your spring cleaning yet? What is it about the change of seasons that makes us want to clean, purge, and start fresh? I don’t know what it is – it certainly isn’t the weather here in Saskatchewan – but perhaps the promise of lazy hazy days of summer to come are making me want to get things done now! I have my own to-do list but if you’re looking for some cleaning inspiration on those days when you want to crank up the music and tear it up (oh how the meaning of that has changed over the years, ha!) here are some tips and ideas form P&G Brands:
Upholstery, carpets & curtains: Mist these hard to wash areas with NEW Febreze Fabric Refresher with Gain to eliminate unwanted odours and leave a fresh scent.
Closet clutter: Tuck away your winter wear in organized storage bins to make room for your spring and summer wardrobe. To keep your winter wear smelling fresh, add Gain Fireworks Original Scent Booster to your laundry load, before tucking items away. You can also use a Febreze Fabric Refresher to refresh items being pulled out of storage.
Baseboard & blinds: These areas trap dust and dirt, and can often be neglected. To tackle these tricky areas, run the Swiffer Duster along the surface.
Tough to clean places: Mr. Clean Magic Eraser is a great tool for cleaning away the grime you come across when uncovering those rarely seen spaces and hard to reach places. Mr. Clean Magic Eraser removes scuffs, crayon marks and finger prints from walls too! Mr. Clean has plenty of tips to share, check out www.mrclean.ca for details.
What spring clean projects have you been tackling? For me, it’s definitely cleaning out closets and our spare room – donating or selling what we are no longer using (I’m a big fan of the Clothesline program through the Diabetes Association for donating used household goods!) My blinds need a good dusting and I definitely want to wash walls indoors and windows outdoors (I’ve nominated my husband for that job!)
