Under normal circumstances a lot of people get the “spring cleaning bug” this time of year. The days get longer, the sun is shining more and the air is fresh! It always feels like a good time to declutter the house and do some deep cleaning after a long dark winter. You may be feeling this even more now that the coronavirus is at the top of our minds. We are washing our hands like crazy and it has been advised that high-touch surfaces in your home be washed down at least daily!

We certainly have more time now that most of us are confined to our homes. Deep cleaning is a great way to pass the time, get a workout in and have a cleaner, healthier home! Libman offers all the supplies you need for every area of cleaning your home as well as some tips and tricks for all your spring cleaning needs.

1. Schedule time

Our schedules are full and our to-do list continues to grow. It’s no surprise that spring cleaning often gets pushed back when other things pop up in our lives. Make an appointment with yourself to clean. It can be for an entire day or in hourly intervals but be sure to block out time solely dedicated to cleaning. Keep this time like you would an appointment for the doctor or

dentist.

2. Make a Cleaning List

Write down all of the areas and tasks you’d like to tackle during your spring-cleaning initiative. If you feel overwhelmed listing them all at once, you can keep the list on the refrigerator and add to it whenever you come across an area you’d like to clean.

3. Stock Up on Supplies

Using your list as a reference, make sure you have all the tools and cleaners needed to accomplish your list. Stocking up on supplies ahead of time will allow you to keep the cleaning momentum during your cleaning time without having to break for quick trips to the store when you’re out of something.

Here are some of our spring cleaning must haves:

Wonder ® Mop – Each Wonder ® Mop has microfiber GRIPSTRIPS™ that lift up to 20% more dirt

leaving your floors cleaner and can be machine washed up to 50 times.

leaving your floors cleaner and can be machine washed up to 50 times. Tile & Grout Brush – This brush has an extra narrow head designed specifically to get into grout and other tight spaces. It features firm and flexible bristles for high power cleaning that toothbrushes can’t compare to.

Microfiber Duster – Premium microfiber fingers pick up dust and the allergens in them.

Cleaning pads are machine washable and reusable.

4. Declutter Before Cleaning

Spend some time in the days or weeks leading up to your spring cleaning to declutter. It’s hard to clean when there is stuff in your way. Set daily goals to declutter one drawer, shelf or room in the days leading up to your cleaning time. This will help to keep the task of spring cleaning from becoming overwhelming and frustrating.

5. Follow Through

When your self-scheduled cleaning appointment arrives, it’s easy to convince yourself you can do it another time. Don’t – spend that allotted time cleaning and get it done. Once clean, you’ll feel better and realize all your prep made it the easiest spring cleaning yet.

6. Clean task by task

Instead of cleaning room-by-room, tackle your new home task-by-task. This method ends up being considerably quicker. Think about it – when you have equipped yourself with a sponge and soapy water, it’s much easier to just continue on than set it down and pick something else up. The new portable Libman Maid Caddy is a convenient way to store and transport frequently used cleaning tools from room to room.

10 Spring Cleaning Hacks from The Libman Company

1. To clean your shower surrounds without getting your hands wet, dip your 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.

2. Use a vent brush to clean out the track of your sliding glass door.

3. Spring cleaning is made easier if you fill your sink with 1 cup of ammonia to approximately one gallon of water. Dip in your very clean sponge mop, remove all excess solution, and then mop your walls. This removes cigarette smoke stain, natural gas film, and even propane stains with ease. No rinsing is required if you keep the mop dry enough.

4. 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.

5. The Libman All-Purpose Kitchen Brush is useful in cleaning baseboard radiator fins. The bristles are soft enough not to damage the delicate fins yet sturdy enough to scrub away any compacted dust. The short handle allows the user to get around the center radiator pipe to clean back and underneath areas.

6. 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.

7. To get kids to help with the bathroom clean-up, have them clean the sink and tub with baking soda and vinegar. The kids love the fizzing and it gets the sink and tub sparkling clean.

8. Use a 18” Libman Multi-Surface Push Broom as a large scrub brush to scrub both high and low

areas of aluminum or vinyl siding.

9. When you encounter rust rings or stains left behind by appliances on your cushioned no-wax floor, gently scrub with a solution of cola and coarse salt. Rinse thoroughly. It effectively removes the rust without ruining the shine.

10. Clean out wading pools and play equipment with a Libman mop and a solution of 1/4 cup hand dishwashing soap and 1-gallon of water. Rinse off, and let the fun begin.
