Awaken your Home, from Neglected to Neat and Tidy
Spring Cleaning Tips:(NC)—Tackling forgotten nooks and crannies is what spring cleaning is all about. Mike Chalut, lifestyle expert on W Network’s Kim’s Rude Awakenings, suggests paying attention to often overlooked areas in the home. “Small amounts of effort and minimal changes will make the house feel cleaner and fresher.”
Mike’s tips:
• Give the cat’s litter box a complete overhaul by throwing out all of the existing litter and giving the box a good scrub. Pour in half an inch of vinegar. Let stand, then pour out, and dry. Sprinkle baking soda over the bottom before adding fresh cat litter.
• If silverware has lost its luster, create a paste using three parts baking soda to one part water. Rub onto the utensils with a clean cloth or sponge, rinse thoroughly and dry. Silverware will shine.
• Sprinkle Arm & Hammer Carpet & Room Odour Eliminator Powder onto area rugs and carpets before vacuuming. You can also add baking soda to a vacuum bag to fight smells that can accumulate there.
• Where’s that mysterious smell in the kitchen coming from? Remember to change the box of baking soda in your fridge every 30 days to ensure that odours remain neutralized. The recommendation in the past was to change it every three months; however, people have more volume and diversity of food in the fridge today which leads to more odours. Also, consider making use of ‘old’ baking soda by pouring it in drains and flushing with hot water to freshen them.
• Don’t forget about the shower curtains. Freshen them up by sprinkling baking soda on a damp sponge or brush and scrub and rinse clean.
