Basic Spring Cleaning Tips

  • Open all the windows and doors to allow fresh air in and dust out.  
  • Work clockwise around the room.
  • Start at the top and work your way down-That way the dust and dirt from the wall does
    not mess up the floor you have already mopped.
  • Use a pillowcase to clear dust from ceiling fans, place each fan blade in the pillow case
    and wipe with the inside of case.  The pillowcase (not your nose) catches the majority of
    the dust.
  • Dress comfortable and wear practical tie-up shoes.  Saves you time taking rugs or things
    outside, and it is safer than sandals or being barefoot. (Tip I learned from flylady)
