Spring
is just around the corner, which means one thing, spring-cleaning. To prepare
for the biggest clean of the year in Adelaide, hire out skip bins. Whilst
you’re cleaning your home, you often come across a lot of old furniture and
belongings that you want to ditch. By Skip Hire Adelaide, you will have a place
to dump the unwanted items and won’t be tempted to “hum and haw” until next
year about throwing them out.
Below are some helpful tips that will help you
make the most of your up and coming spring clean.
Dusting
Sweep
away the long winter by getting rid of dust. It doesn’t take long for dust to
build up and begin to affect your sinuses. For asthmatics, dust can cause a
variety of problems, which is why it’s important to get rid of it. The best
method for dusting is starting at the highest point and working your way down
to the ground. That way, there’s no risk of dust finding it’s way onto another
surface while you dust. Move around the your room in a circle until every
surface is clean and dust free.
Flip your mattress
A
spring clean is the perfect time to flip your mattress. To ensure optimum
support and comfort from your mattress, you should try and rotate it at least
once a year. You mattress should contain a warranty card that features
instructions and recommendations that will be handy.
Do a big wash
To
keep dust mites and allergens, perform a big wash of items you don’t normally
wash. Gently wash your curtains, shower screen, pillows, blankets, rugs and any
other upholstery that doesn’t normally get a spin in the washing machine.
The kitchen
Perform
a complete overhaul of the kitchen. This is the time to do those jobs you have
been putting off all winter. Defrost your fridge and freezer and clean them
out. Also pay close attention to your pantries and give them a makeover. Be
sure to bin any old items that are out of date.
Store linen away
With
the cold weather gone, you can strip your bed of heavy blankets and quilts and
store them away. A good idea is storing them in vacuum-sealed storage bags or
zippered bags, which will protect them against insects and moths. Before you
pack them away, give them a thorough clean and then insert lavender or cedar
sachets to give that extra hit of freshness.
Carpeting cleaning
Getting
rid of the nasties that are lurking in your carpet is a must during a spring
clean. During the wet wintery months, you have no doubt traipsed lots of dirt
and mud into your home that is now living in your carpets. Either hire
professional carpet cleaner or do the job yourself by renting a steamer.
Window washing
During
winter your windows would’ve copped a beating from the rain and storms. To
ensure they are sparkling again, clean your windows. Spring is the perfect time
to clean your windows and it is still cool enough that they won’t streak in the
sun.
Dirty faucets
Pay
attention to your dirty faucets to make them glow. To get the perfect finish
wrap a cloth that has been soaked in vinegar around the faucet. Leave the cloth
to soak in for an hour and then remove it. Use a fresh towel to give it a final
polish and it should be shimmering in the warm spring sunlight.
