So now that winter has come and passed we eagerly await the time for the spring cleaning. The time when cleaning seems like there is so much to do with so little time. But don't worry. Total Home Care has some cleaning tips for the spring that will make cleaning a lot more easier than you thought and will sanitize everything in the process.

1. Sprinkle baking sode on clean sheets and an already cleaned carpet once a week and let the sprinkles stay on there for about a day or so. The baking soda will kill any odours and alergens that have settled into your bed-sheets or carpets during the winter. (you can also brush your teeth with baking soda for a nice white smile)
2. Clean all the windows in your home (or get your maid cleaning service to do it for you) with vinigar. Now we know that seems a little strange but vinegar is natures natural cleaner and it does get the job done. It will remove all the grime that has built up during the winter and doesn't harm the environment at all.
3. Also, clean that fire-place. Fill a garbage bag with all the ashes that have accumulated over the winter. The reason your fireplace needs cleaning is because day after day the ashes from the fire-place will float into the air, not only polluting your house-hold air quality but you'll find that when you do your summer cleaning you're going to have to clean and dust tons of dust that you would generally not know where it came from. Cleaning out the fire-place is a very important step in spring cleaning that you will appreciated. How? Very patiently get a garbage bag out, sit down at the edge of the fire-place and scopp the ashes into the garbage bag. When you are done make sure to close the bag tightly and dispose of it. Make sure to vacuum when you are done. You'll be happy you did.
4. If you're not going to employ a maid service to do your cleaning make sure your vacuum has a hepa-filter in it, again to reduce air-born particle density and alergens.
5. Another great idea is to swifer the walls. All the walls of your home have built up a layer of dust that has settled on the walls and if you don't get to that muck you'll have a hard time cleaning your walls later. This especially if you smoke. During the winter the windows were mostly closed and smoke tar sticks to walls. If this is done year after year it makes cleaning them a difficult task. Swifer clean your walls after the winter and in the fall you'll be glad you did. For some reason walls get much dirtier during the winter.
