14 Tips to Make Spring Cleaning Your Dining Room a Breeze

Spring cleaning can be done quickly if you focus on one room at a time. Here are 14 easy spring cleaning tips for your dining room.

1. Clean your blinds and wash curtains. Depending on how dirty your blinds are, you can simply use a Swiffer dusting cloth, vacuum or use a damp cloth if they are very dusty. Check the care tags on your curtains to see if you can wash them in your washing machine. If your curtains are delicate, take them to the dry cleaner.

2. Clean windows inside and out with Windex or vinegar and water. To make your own environmentally friendly window clear mix 16 ozs of water, 2 ozs of white vinegar and a few drops of dish soap in a clean spray bottle. This solution is very cheap and easy to make yourself. A micofiber cloth or crumpled up newspaper works best for cleaning glass. Paper towels can leave streaks.

3. Clean any window screens. To easily clean your screens make a solution of 24 ozs water, 8 ozs of ammonia and ½ tablespoon dish soap in a clean spay bottle. Spray this solution on screens and let sit for 5-10 minutes. Next use a clean broom or soft scrub brush on both sides of the screen to remove dirt. Hose off and let dry.

4. Clean all baseboards in your dining area. Easily clean baseboards with a damp rag. Be sure to keep your rag clean by frequently rinsing in clean water. The baseboards always accumulate so much dust.

5. Dust fan or light fixture. Use a Swiffer duster with extendable handle to make this job quick and easy.

6. Spot clean chair cushions. Resolve multi-fabric works great on most fabric surfaces. If you want to update the look of your chairs, get inexpensive covers at Bed Bath and Beyond or Walmart.

7. Clean the carpet or area rug in the dining room. If you do not own your own carpet cleaner, you can rent one at Lowes or Home Depot. Bissell makes wonderful carper cleaning solutions. Many carpet cleaning companies offer spring cleaning specials if you would rather not tackle the job yourself.

8. If you have tile in your dining area clean with Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. The Mr. Clean Magic Erasers do an amazing job on tile and grout. The Magic Erasers are now available Febreze scented.
