DON’T FORGET SPRING CLEANING Helpful Tips: Get Those Winter clothes Into Storage It’s time to break out those sandals, skirts and sleeveless tops again and get those gloves, hats, winter coats and scarves out of sight. Clean Out Your Appliances You use these items every day— so it’s a good idea to give them a good scrubbing. Kitchens are notorious for picking up a lot of germs. Dust Your Blinds Over the long winter, your blinds have collected a lot of dust. Hello Giggles recommends using a dryer sheet to dust your blinds, as the static cling will keep the dust from scattering and re-settling! Make the Windows Spotless You’re probably going to be keeping the windows open a lot more with the warmer weather on the way, so you might as well keep them as clean as possible. Invest in a good glass cleaner and make sure to wipe down both sides of the window to really let that sunshine through. Give that Mattress a Flip According to Martha Stewart, mattresses should actually be flipped four times a year. Not only is this better for your back due to even wear, but it also will give your mattress a longer life. This is important, as mattresses can get pricey. Give Your Floors Some Love Carpets hide a lot of dust and debris, so it’s always useful to give them a good shampoo once a year to keep the floors clean. Throw Out Expired Medication or Old Makeup Medicine cabinets can get quite cluttered over time. Be sure to look and see if any of your medications have expired and toss them. Additionally, if you are hanging on to that eyeshadow you wore on New Year’s Eve five years ago and haven’t touched since— it might be time to let it go. Old makeup loses its glimmer after a few years. HAPPY CLEANING! …Find out where joy resides and give it a voice far beyond singing.
