Spring Cleaning for the Housework Impaired

(ARA) – Spring is in the air. Grass is greener, birds are singing, and it’s time to clean out your closets. Because no one wants to be inside scrubbing when the weather warms up, here are a few tips to speed up the spring cleaning process.

>> To clean water spots off the shower door, wipe it down with a small amount of lemon oil on a regular basis.

>> To clean in crevices around faucets, apply a small amount of cleaner to an old toothbrush.

>> To thoroughly clean a self-cleaning oven, first wipe away spills with a soft cloth. Next, use a mild abrasive cleaner for the over door, but do not scrub the door gasket. Instead, use a wet, slightly soapy sponge.

>> To clean a computer screen or television, first turn the power off. Then sparingly wet a cleaning cloth or paper towel with glass cleaner and wipe the screen. Never use a spray bottle directly, as the mist could settle inside through the ventilation slots.
