30 Easy Cleaning Tips Part Two: Sweeping Solutions

According to Women's Day Magazine, "cleaning should always be done top to bottom. That way any crumbs or dust that fall to the floor while you're working get picked up last. And believe it or not, there's a right way to sweep.

14. Pick the Right Broom: Sounds simple enough. When sweeping indoors, choose a broom that has finer bristles since you are more than likely sweeping up patches of smaller dirt particles. For outdoor jobs, go for strong, stiff bristles. 

15. Get Swept Away: Believe it or not, there is a right way to hold a broom. Imagine for a moment you are canoeing. Hold the broom like a canoe paddle, with one hand placed on top of the handle and the other towards the middle. Andrea suggests,"sweep from the outside in so that you don't miss any spots, and move the dirt into the center of the room, where it will be easier to pick up."

16. Super Storage: While it's your first inclination, avoid placing broom back into the closet with the bristles on the floor. Store broom with the handle down.

17. Banish Dust Bunnies: It's all about design when it comes to choosing an effective dustpan. Go for the dustpan that has a rubber edge so you banish those annoying lines of dirt that often get left behind.

You can also trap dirt with your Clean Spin 360 Spin Mop and accessory attachments. We recommend the Microfiber Dusting Mop Replacement Head.  Need help cleaning hard-to-reach areas? This Dusting Mop Replacement Head lets you easily dust walls, high corners, ceilings, and around baseboards. Simply attach to your Spin Mop, and you're ready to go!

Bedroom Secrets:

18. Start with the Bed: While your bedroom may not be completely clean, a bed that is made, makes it look that way! Instead of throwing your covers off to the side in a "am-I-late-panic", gently roll covers off you, and you are half-way there! As you head to the shower, finish the job.

19. Address Your Drawers: It is probably one of the worst parts of doing laundry; putting your clean clothes away. While it might not be your favorite thing to do, it ensures that your home stays tidy. Get rid of any clothes that you haven't worn, or better yet, donate them to Goodwill.

20. Keep Just the Essentials: No need for clutter in your bedroom. One of the cleaning experts at Women's Day Magazine suggests: "Have a pamper basket next to your bed with a book, some moisturizer, your knitting or something else you like to do in bed. Then keep your clock, a lamp and a box of tissues on your nightstand. That's it. "

Conquer Laundry:

21. Stave off Static: "Since fabric softener and dryer sheets can strip towels of their absorbency, add 1/4 cup white vinegar to the rinse cycle or throw two (new, clean) tennis balls into your dryer to get rid of static electricity, soften fabrics and eliminate the need for dryer sheets."

22. Switch on the Cold: Save money and the environment by washing your clothing in cold water.

Mess-a-Laneous: 

23. Time It: Do you know that many chores take about only ten minutes? Change your state of mind and cleaning can go by quickly.

24. Multitask: Probably my preferred method of cleaning! Why not fold laundry while watching television? Or talk on the phone while picking up general messes around the house such as stray magazines, books, shoes, etc.?

25. Know the Hot Spots: You know that pile of miscellaneous "stuff" on your dining room table, kitchen table, or kitchen counters? Attack those piles before they become impossible to sort through.

26. Go Corner to Corner: There is an art to vacuuming. "Begin in the furthest corner and work toward the door using slow, repetitive, front-to-back motions in an overlapping sequence."

27. Velcro Away Clutter: Get rid of stray wires and cords from gaming controls! Velcro them to the console!

28. Make a Lost-and-Found: Stray game pieces? Puzzle pieces? Screws? Buttons? Make a box for these items!

29. Do Quick Rescues: Got 5 minutes? Scan each room for things that are out of place or do a quick sweep to ensure that the room is clean and presentable.

30. Stop Clutter at the Front Door: Why not "mount a plastic or cloth shoe rack inside your front entry closet door, and use it to stash all kinds of living room and family room miscellany- toys, hats, gloves, magazines."

30 Quick, Easy, Cleaning Tips

30 Easy Cleaning Tips Part One: Kitchen & Bathroom

For many, a happy home is a clean home. But who wants to spend countless hours cleaning? With the help of Women's Day and some of the best cleaning experts around, we deliver some of the most effective cleaning tips that will leave your home sparkling in no time flat.

Kitchen:

Circle Around: Since the stove is one of the dirtiest parts of the kitchen, Andrea Atkins, of Women's Day suggests starting on the right side of the stove then moving clockwise around the room. By doing so, you eliminate spreading dirt and grease throughout your kitchen.

Sanitize the Sink: Whether you would like to admit or not, your kitchen sink actually harbors more bacteria than your toilet seat. To disinfect your sink, try using a EPA registered disinfectant. If you do not have one, try this simple method outlined by Andrea:
1. First, clean your sink with soap and water.
2. Spray with a mist of vinegar followed by a mist of hydrogen peroxide.*
*Do not mix the two, spray one after the other.

Have a stainless steel sink? Try applying a few drops of mineral oil on a soft cloth and buffing the entire sink. This prevents water buildup, mold, and keeps your sink looking fabulous.

3. Do Dishwasher Duty:  Andrea suggests that at least once a week, clean your dishwashing machine with a damp sponge and baking soda. This eliminates any stuck on food or stains lingering within your washer. During flu-season, it might be beneficial to add a quarter cup of bleach to regular dish cycle to kill bacteria.

4. Love Your Oven: Treat your oven with a little extra care by lining the bottom with a nonstick oven liner. These dishwasher safe lifesavers can be used over and over again.

5. Disinfect the Disposal: You know those awful odors that come from your kitchen disposal? Zap odors with this simple concoction:  pieces of cut up lemons, some salt, and a few ice cubes. "The lemon deodorizes, and the ice and salt clean away residue."

6.Crumble Paper Towels...Forever (& save the environment): This we have to admit, is music to our ears, "Use microfiber cloths instead." Why? Microfiber clothes are reusable, trap dirt and moisture and leave a clean, dry polished surface. Not only are they safe for all surfaces, they are environmentally beneficial since they require little to no water and reduce waste. We suggest MicroKLeN Microfiber Towels.

7. Clean as you go: You know that dreaded pile of dishes sitting on the stove or in the sink after you finish a meal? Try filling the sink with warm soapy water before you start dinner. That way you can have pots and pans soaking before food starts to really stick, which makes cleaning a hassle.

8. Zap the Sponge: Your sponge is a breeding ground for bacteria. Disinfect yours by squeezing it out and microwaving it on high for a minute. And please, when it starts to smell, just throw it away!

Bathroom Boosters:

9. Make Doors Shine: Twice a month, try rubbing a teaspoon of lemon oil on a glass shower door. This causes water to bead up and roll off.

10. Get a Cleaner Liner: Mold and mildew starting to appear on your shower liner? This simple tip will scrub away mold: throw liner in washer with a few towels.

11. Tame the Toilet: Not just a childhood favorite, drop a teaspoon of Tang Drink Mix in the bowl. "The citric acid acts like a scrubber, and is nontoxic, in case the dog takes a sip."

12. Corral Strays: Once a week, pour boiling water down your drain. This will eliminate clogs. Excess hair on bathroom floors? Use a damp piece of toilet paper to quickly wipe them up.

13. Use  Bedtime as Clean Time: If you have kids this is a solid piece of advice. "While the kids are washing up at night, wipe down the tub, toilet and mirrors, and toss out clutter.When they're finished, quickly wipe down the sink and floor. We suggest using the Clean Spin 360 Mop: Compact Spin Mop.

The Clean Spin 360 Compact Spin Mop cleans floors in, under, around, and through your house without harsh detergents. It reaches under tables, behind toilets, in closet corners, and around cabinets with no problem. Thousands of microfiber mop strands attract dirt, grime, and liquids without drips or leaks. Floors are clean and dry in half the time.

The Best Way to Clean Up After that Summer Party

Let's face it, life can get rather messy. (Especially if you have kids or four-legged family members).

Spring Cleaning: 11 Tips To Keep Your Home Looking Beautiful Part Two

As the temperatures start to rise and the leaves start to sprout on trees, one thing is evidently clear: Spring is here! And with the Spring comes the chore of cleaning your home! But where do you start? What needs to be cleaned? To get you headed into the right direction, we would like to share House Beautiful's top spring cleaning tips:

8. Removing Stains from Countertops
Getting rid of stains on granite can be tricky, but the key, according to kitchen designer Florence Perchuk, is to wipe up stains ASAP. Also have your countertop sealed a few times as soon as it's installed. You'll know it's sealed properly when water beads and forms droplets on the surface. Then have it sealed again a year later. You can poultice away rust, and you can remove soap scum or mildew with a solution of 1/2 cup ammonia in a gallon of water. For most coffee or juice stains, you can use a little hydrogen peroxide in water, plus a few drops of ammonia.

9. Reorganize Bookshelves
Sort book by size and subject. Remove and discard any ripped dust jackets (unless you think they may have value). Line books some vertically, some horizontally, in a rhythmic pattern. This will relieve the monotony of rows.

10. Caring for Your Area Rugs:
Phillip Costikyan of Restoration by Costikyan says you should clean your area rugs every four or five years- or every 10 years if a rug in not walked on much. Overcleaning contributes to wear and tear. Really fine silk rugs need to be cleaned only every 20 or 30 years. For treating stains at home, keep a bottle of club soda on hand. Stains caused by pets, coffee, orange soda, red wine, and anything with dye or an acid base are the hardest to remove, and the key is to act quickly. Pour club soda directly onto the area, let the soda absorb into the yarn, and the salt in the soda will neutralize the acid. Blot again and again, until the residue is gone. For bloodstains, you should use milk instead, and for soil and grease-based stains, mix one part Ivory soap detergent with 16 parts water.

11. Caring for Wood Floors:
The keys to keeping your wood floors looking new are to avoid oversanding, use trivets or saucers under plants to avoid water damage, use furniture protectors to avoid scratches, and damp-mop once a week with a mild soap like Murphy Oil Soap
*To keep hardwood floors looking great, try mopping with the Hurricane Spin Mop. The Hurricane Spin Mop cleans floors in, under, around, and through your house without harsh detergents! It reaches under tables, behind toilets, in closet corners, and around cabinets with no problem. Thousands of microfiber mop strands attract dirt, grime, and liquids without drips or leaks.
