As the warmer weather arrives, the rays of sunshine can lift our moods, but are they highlighting dirt and dust in your property? If your home is in need of an uplift, here are some great spring cleaning hacks to get you started and make life easier.
Clean your mattress with UV light
Like many homeowners, cleaning your mattress may not always be a priority. However, it can be one of the areas that needs refreshing as it’s full of particles like dust mites, pet hair, sweat and dead skin.
While there are several good mattress cleaning products on the market, you can also buy innovative UV bed vacuum cleaners that get deep into the mattress. These handheld devices perform a highly effective mattress vacuum, often killing off mites and bacteria, while dust filters take care of larger particles. They’re also a good option for those with allergies.
Easy ways to dust walls & ceilings
A spring clean is the best way to give every inch of your home a refresh, so don’t forget about ceilings and walls. While this may seem like a big job, there is a handy hack you can use to remove dust in no time.
Use a long flat-headed mop to reach these spots, attaching a dry and clean microfibre cloth to pick up dust particles with ease. You can also get smaller flat headed mops perfect for cleaning your skirting. This saves your back muscles and knees from the effort of getting down on the floor to complete the task.
Clean your kitchen appliances
There are lots of easy hacks to get your kitchen appliances up to scratch. For example, you can buy specialist kitchen de-scaler bags to boil in the kettle, or add something like a bit of lemon juice to the water to give the inside a good clean.
Look out for similar products to use in your microwave, usually involving a special pot that you fill with water plus lemon juice or white wine vinegar, producing steam that gets into dried-on food, easily wiping away after.
As always, with any products you use, always follow manufacturer instructions.
