SPRING CLEANING

SPRING CLEANING
Tips for health
With the arrival of spring comes, of course, the obligation of spring cleaning. Don't despair. Here are some spring-cleaning tips from Maids Home Services, a residential cleaning service that specializes in cleaning for better health:
Take washable curtains down and clean in water heated to at least 130 degrees.
For large throw rugs, beat dirt and dust away with a tennis racket. Spot-clean and hang over a deck railing or clothesline.
Clean windowsills with a hand-held vacuum, wash with soapy warm water, and dry well.
Remove items from your kitchen drawers, wipe out thoroughly, reline the drawers.
Remove vents and wash in soapy, hot water, using a paintbrush to reach between slats, if needed. Rinse and dry well.
