PROPERTY NEWS - Spring is the perfect time to scrub, sweep and store away your winter woes for another year.
The kitchen
- Wipe down your cabinets and cupboards.
- Vacuum your drawers.
- Clean your oven.
- Mop your floor.
- Get rid of calcium build-up in your kettle and pots
- Scrub your pans and baking sheets.
The living room
- Collect stray items in a basket and store in a low-traffic area.
- Wipe eye-level surfaces with a microfibre cloth. Use a duster to reach hard-to-reach places.
- Open windows. This instantly deodorizes and freshens up your house.
- Clean the floors. Vacuum and then scrub floors, paying close attention to the easy-to-miss corners.
The bathroom
- Toss, toss, toss. Cabinets can get cluttered very easily. First, give them a good clean. Next, throw away anything that's expired, empty or that you haven't used in the last 12 months.
- Replace any emptied products to your next shopping list.
Windows
- To break down any built-up film on really dirty windows, give them a good scrub with a sponge and a simple mixture of water and dish soap.
- Wait for an overcast day. Direct sunlight can sometimes dry windows too quickly, which results in streaks on the glass.
The bedroom
- De-dust your sleeping area.
- Freshen your bedding.
- Flip and rotate your mattress.
- Vacuum. Do a thorough vacuum of your bedroom making sure to include the closet, curtains and under any furniture.
