With Holiday Season in full swing you will either be
entertaining at some point or at the very least having houseguests. With all of the hustle and bustle this
time of year brings, when will you find time to clean??
Here are some good cleaning tips and tricks that will
hopefully help you get the cleaning done fast so you can move on to the fun
stuff!
1.
Do your kids have tons of little toys that you
would love to clean but don’t want to take the time to wash each individual
piece (I’m looking at you legos!)? Throw them in a mesh laundry bag and toss them into the
washing machine or dish washer.
2.
Want to bake cookies but you are grossed out by
your rusted cookie sheet? Simply sprinkle
with baking soda, then hydrogen peroxide, then another layer of baking soda and
let it sit for a few hours. Wipe
off with a damp paper towel and your cookie sheet will look like new again!
3.
Clean off ceiling fans without getting dust in
your face by sliding an old pillow case over the blade and wipe the blade off
inside the pillow case!
4.
Ready to use the brand new Holiday plates you
bought for your party? But those
dang stickers won’t come off. Easy
fix – put them in a bowl of warm water and a scoop of Oxy-Clean for 30
minutes. The labels will just
float right off!
5.
I don’t have this problem anymore because we don’t
have carpet – BUT with two girls in our house with long thick hair we always
had hair on the carpet and it drove me nuts!! Take a squeegee and scrape across the carpet and all of the
hair will come right up.
Okeedokee that is all for now. I think I will do part 2 after the Holidays for some clean
up after all of the decorations have been put away!
