Tip 1: Use a window cleaner that attaches to your water hose to spray clean windows at one time with no streaks. For the inside of the windows, spray a window cleaner on the windows and wipe clean with newspaper for a streak and dust free shine.
Tip 2: Spray all your screens with a strong stream of water in a sweeping back and forth motion. With enough water pressure, no scrubbing with chemicals is necessary.
Tip 3: Wipe down all windowsills with a rag soaked in a deodorizing liquid cleaner to not only clean the buildup of dust, cobwebs, dirt, and bugs, but it will give your home a fresh scent while cleaning.
Tip 4: For mildew buildup on walls and ceilings of bathrooms, soak a sponge mop with mildew remover solution. Dab all mildew spots. In a minute or two the mold will be gone.
Tip 5: Use a rag and furniture polish to shine and dust your furniture at the same time. Do this only once a month. Use a regular dust-grabbing mitt for weekly cleaning.
Tip 6: Keep a bottle of disinfecting wipes handy in the bathroom. Use these to quickly wipe down counters and toilets every three days to maintain a healthy environment.
Tip 7: Dust baseboards easily by using a dust-grabbing mitt and placing it on your foot, walk around the entire house with one foot on the baseboards.
Tip 8: Deter grime buildup in kitchen sinks by spraying the sink down with a disinfecting bleach after washing dishes.
Tip 9: Vacuum your floors and carpet before dusting, as vacuuming causes some floor dust to rise.
Tip 10: Save dusting and cleaning time by using disinfectant cleaning wipes to clean dirt, mildew, and dust from blind window treatments.
