Spring Cleaning Tips to Save Time and Money

Oh how we all hate the spring cleaning ritual, but it is so nice when it's all done. The first way to eliminate time is to enlist your family to help with some of the duties. If you happen to be single, trade out cleaning with a friend or family member. They help you clean your house, you help them clean theirs and everyone has more fun and less work.
My favorite cleaning solutions are Toothpaste, Rubbing Alcohol, White Vinegar, Baking Soda, dryer sheets and microfiber cloths. Microfiber cloths are available at local stores like wal-mart or online for about $3-$5.00 each. Use them wet or dry depending on what you are cleaning.
Cleaning Tips with common household products: Rubbing Alcohol will clean Window Sills, remove haze from windows and mirrors, remove spots from bathroom fixtures, remove hard water spots on stainless steel sinks, will clean and disinfect door knobs, switch plates and telephones. White Vinegar will clean Shower doors, spots on stainless steel, Carpet spots, Windows, and Glass table tops.Toothpaste will cleans crayon off of walls, polish silver and remove small scratches from glass. Baking Soda cleans Stainless Steel sinks, Kitchen counter tops, Stove top surfaces, Food stains on walls, Polish silver or brass and just about anything that needs a light abrasive cleaner. Dryer Sheets: Use used dryer sheets to dust electronics, TVs and such to remove dust and prevent new dust for settling as quickly. Used sheets also work great for removing soap scum from shower doors. New Sheets are a great way to freshen your home, pets and environment. Brush a sheet over your pet to remove loose hair and to freshen his scent. Place in the bottoms of trash cans, in drawers, hang in closets, in empty luggage before storing, in your towel and linen storage areas, under your car seats and in your shoes, to add a pleasant freshness all around.
