 <\/p>\n

Spring is the perfect time to give your home a thorough cleaning and get it sparkling for summer. Coming home to a clean house can help you feel more relaxed, and it will be easier to find your things when everything is organized. So roll up your sleeves, grab your gloves and use this list of spring cleaning tips to check everything off for a clean home.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Clean Your Furniture<\/h2>\n

If you sweep the floors and wipe down the kitchen counter frequently, it\u2019s time to give your furniture some TLC. For leather couches, chairs, and other\u00a0furniture,\u00a0follow our guide to caring for leather furniture<\/a>. For other types of furniture, get fabric-safe cleaner to wipe them down, and vacuum the cushions and crevices.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Wash the Windows<\/h2>\n

Your windows might have gotten pretty grimy from winter weather, now is the perfect time to freshen them up.\u00a0When cleaning, opt for vertical stroke on one side and horizontal stroke on the other, because this helps you know what side a streak is on if any develop. Choose a cloudy day for the process<\/a>, this will prevent the soap from drying too quickly, leaving streaks.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Spruce up Your Mattress<\/h2>\n

Changing your sheets is a good habit, but\u00a0your mattress still sees a fair share of dirt. Give your mattress a refresh using a vacuum with an upholstery attachment to clean the sides and top of the mattress. Then, use upholstery cleaner for any stains, and give everything a spray with a disinfectant to kill any lingering germs.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Freshen up Your Dishwasher<\/h2>\n

Over time, your dishwasher can start smelling. This is because not all of the food is washed away, and this can leave small patches of debris that\u00a0can stink up your entire kitchen. Clean out any spots you can see in your dishwasher to combat this, especially below the lower spray arm. Lastly, run a cleaning cycle with the machine empty and use a special dishwasher cleaner.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Make Your Appliances Shine<\/h2>\n

If you have stainless steel appliances, you know just how much fingerprints, grease, and other liquids can mark up the perfect surface. Luckily, this is an easy fix. Mix one quart of hot water with one teaspoon of dish detergent and use a microfiber cloth to rub the surface of the appliances. Rinse with hot water and then dry with a cleaning cloth.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Get Rid of Carpet Impressions<\/h2>\n

Have dents\u00a0in\u00a0your floor carpet from furniture? Get rid of them by putting an ice cube\u00a0in\u00a0the spot, letting it melt, and then lifting the fibers with a spool.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Cut Down on Clutter<\/h2>\n

Once everything is clean, make your home look even cleaner\u00a0by getting rid of old knick-knacks, clothes, and other things that are needlessly taking up space.\u00a0With this clutter-free look<\/a>, you’ll have a minimalist style that guests will love.<\/p>\n
