Window Coverings: Before cleaning the glass you will want to take note of your window coverings. Have your drapes been washed in the past year? If not, this is a good time for it. How dusty or dirty are your blinds. Keep them dusted once a month and you’ll be fine. Finally, be sure to clean the windowsills.

Kitchen Cleaning Tips: Use a cloth to clean with instead of paper towels, be sure to have several different cloth to use on individual tasks. This helps eliminate spreading germs. Toss them in the washer when finished to get them clean.

Cleaning Laminate Floors: Clean laminate floors with a cotton mop and hot water in a bucket. Be sure you do not puddle the water on the floor. Ring out the mop thoroughly before using it. Let dry.

Quick Tips On How To Clean Upholstery: Clean off the food or other debris from the affected area. If the mess is already dried you can vacuum the area to remove any excess food, etc. Clean the area with either a commercial upholstery cleaner or natural cleaners.

One of the biggest time wasters has to run around the house getting your cleaning supplies or whatever else you need to complete what you’re doing. Gather your cleaning supplies in one bucket or a cleaning caddy.

Be Efficient: Clean one room completely before moving to the next room. This will make the job easier and gives a greater feeling of accomplishment.

Stay on top of the mess to stay in control of the mess. Instead of having a cleaning marathon to make the whole house sparkle, spend a few minutes each day tidying up.

Smile, Hug and be kind… you are blessed!
