Spring Cleaning

De-clutter before you start

By putting things away or throwing unwanted items out, this will help speed up your spring cleaning.

Set goals and reward yourself

Set a start and end date. By setting yourself dates to complete cleaning items, this will help you achieve them all.
Tip: reward yourself for every goal you meet. We reward ourselves with shoes.

Clean from top to bottom

This will ensure all surfaces stay clean.

Cleaning hack – mattress

A cleaning hack for your mattress is to sprinkle baking soda on the mattress and let it sit for a couple of hours. Then vacuum the baking soda off and you’ve got one fresh bed.

Cleaning hack – stainless steel

Did you know that olive oil could clean stainless steel such as pots and pans?
Simply put olive oil on a soft cloth and rub in a circular motion.
For stainless steel appliances and surfaces we recommend Oakwood 3-in-1 Stainless Steel Cleaner. Formulated to break down dirt and grime build-up. The 3-in-1 formulation cleans, polishes and protects, leaving a protective layer to guard against everyday fingerprints, smears, water spots and, liquid splatters

Cleaning hack – unclog your sink with this simple trick

What you’ll need:
1 cup white vinegar
1 cup baking soda
Drain plug
boiling water

How:
Step 1: Pour the vinegar down the drain of your sink. Then sprinkle the baking soda into the drain, and quickly put the drain plug into the drain. Hold it in place until the fizzing has subsided.
Step 2: After the fizzing has stopped, let the sink sit undisturbed for about 30 minutes. Then flush with hot water.
