Hate to Clean? Sorry!

It's Spring Cleaning Time!


10 easy ways to spruce of your home inside and out:


1.  Wipe down exterior furniture - You will have to do this multiple times to actually get rid of the pollen.  Sturdy cushions could also use a good pressure washing.  


2.  Scrub the grill with warm water and dish soap


3.  Weed the garden - Weeds are already plentiful given our mild winter


4.  Wash driveway and walks - pressure washing again...


5.  Wash those pesky windows!  If you clean on a cloudy day, you will see streaks better.


6.  Scrub sealed countertops, sinks stainless steel and silver with a lemon scrub:  1/2 C baking soda and few drops of liquid soap.  Mix into paste.  Spread onto the inside of a half a lemon.  Use the lemon like a sponge.  Wipe.


7.  Declutter the garage.  This is an ongoing project for those of use with kids.


8.  Detail the deck - I heard Olympic Premium Deck Cleaner works good.  Spray it on, leave for 10 min then rinse.


9.  Clean out gutters - wait, didn't we just do this in the fall?  YES!  


10.  Switch to "green" Earth friendly products.
