5 Spring Cleaning Tips for Your New DSLD Home

Find the time

• The first step in an effective spring cleaning is
  finding the time, scheduling it in, and executing it. Our suggestion is to see
  what works best with your busy lifestyle. Whether it is to map out a few hours
  a week or block off a full day.  

Toss it

• Spring cleaning gives you and your family the
  opportunity to rid your home of unnecessary items such as clothes that you have
  outgrown (always try and donate), items that serve no purpose (like that
  trinket you picked up on your last road trip), accumulated junk mail, and that
  pesky pantry that is full of uneaten, old food. 

Tackle it

• Tackling those baseboards that are overflowing with
  the day’s grime, dusting the blinds that are no longer white, shaking out the
  rug that your furry friend decided was its very own towel, and don’t forget
  about those ceiling fans. 

Wipe it

• The walls might not look like they need a bath, but
  they probably do. We tend to focus more on our floors and not so much on our
  walls, baseboards, and cabinets. However, they tend to get just as much dust,
  dirt, and gunk as the rest of the home. We recommend using a microfiber cloth
  to help make the job a little easier. 

Scrub it

• A deep scrub of your refrigerator, washing machine,
  dishwasher and even your sink will keep your home smelling fresh and squeaky
  clean. These tend to be the little things that we forget about so easily. One
  of our favorite tips to clean your disposal is to add a thinly cut lemon for a
  fresh smell, add a few ice cubes, and a teaspoon of salt to help clean any
  leftover food residue. You can also buy products designed specifically for the
  job.
