Houstonians! We all know it has been quite the eventful winter season, with temperatures in the thirties one day and three days later, we're back in the seventies. Now that the crazy temperature changes are (hopefully!) in the past, that means… SPRING is just around the corner! Spring cleaning is an essential part of home ownership for keeping your space in tip-top shape. Spring cleaning can be tedious, but with these tips, you can simplify your spring cleaning routine!
1. Shine up stainless steel - You love your beautiful, updated stainless steel appliances, but how do you keep them looking their best? Simply spritz a light layer of wax-based aerosol spray all over the steel to keep dust, fingerprints, and scratches at bay!
2. Donate unworn clothes - It can be difficult to part with clothing you think you may wear again, but the rule is if you have not worn the piece at all in the past year, it's time to part ways. Knowing that you are donating those unworn pieces to a donation center makes you feel good, plus is the most efficient way to organize your closet.
3. Refresh a room with linens - The easiest way to give any room a facelift is to swap out the linens! This can include anything from new bedding, to towels, to couch covers - the possibilities are endless! And, you don't have to throw out your old linens - simply store your dark, winter bedsheets away while you are using your clean, white ones in the spring and summer.
4. Keep granite looking new - Granite can stain easily, so it's always a good idea to wipe up spills right away (even water). Purchasing a cleaner made especially for granite (such as Granite Gold) can't hurt!
5. Clean in the nooks and crannies - When in doubt, clean it. Don't forget to lift up furniture, dust off light fixtures, reach high up windowsills, and clean inside cabinets. The result will yield a very thorough spring cleaning!
