While most Americans are happy to say goodbye to winter, ushering in spring has its own set of challenges, including the age-old tradition of tackling spring cleaning chores. The Libman Company, a leading U.S. maker of household and commercial cleaning products, is there to help you prepare for the task! Check out these 5 cleaning hacks you need before you get started!
To remove dirt deep in your carpet, use your Precision Angle Broom to “sweep” your carpet thoroughly before vacuuming. The broom fibers will dig down into the carpet, moving dirt to the surface
Take the glass light bulb covers off ceiling fans and chandeliers and stick them in the dishwasher. They come out sparkling clean and it’s less work for your tired hands.
To clean your shower surrounds without getting your hands wet, dip your favorite mop (try the Libman Wonder Mop) into a solution of 1/2 cup of vinegar, 1 cup of clear ammonia, and 1/4 cup of baking soda and 1 gallon of warm water. After cleaning, rinse with warm water.
To clean the smoky, burnt on residue from the glass doors on your fireplace or wood burning stove: Dip a damp paper towel in ashes and use them to clean the glass. You can also use the ashes from your fireplace to clean the glass window on a gas grill.
Clean and deodorize the inside of a refrigerator by making a natural solution of 3 tablespoons baking soda to one quart warm water. Wipe dry with a Premium Kitchen Microfiber Cloth.

We don’t throw away socks that have holes in them. I cut the top of the sock about two inches in to identify it as a new cleaning mit. I can use them right-side- or inside-out, depending on whether I need a rougher texture (from most sports socks).
The dressier socks get turned into gnomes, which has nothing to do with spring cleaning…
Amy Hall says
Clean year round rather than saving it for spring!@ lol
