SPRING CLEANING: FROM TOP TO BOTTOM

There's a fresh scent in the air, the birds are sweetly singing and the warm air is giving you renewed energy. The idea of tackling spring cleaning—to spruce up the old nest—somehow doesn't seem as daunting when the weather turns nice.

Real top-to-bottom housecleaning can take a few days, so pace yourself. Set aside a few days (or an hour a day, depending on your schedule) and stop when you've had enough for one day. If you keep at it systematically and follow our tips, before long your house will be shining and ready for another year!

Before you begin, go from room to room and make a list of everything that needs to be done. Try a classic organizers' trick: stand in the doorway and visually divide the room into three-foot wide "stripes," listing every task you see in that space; for example, the "stripe" nearest one wall might include dusting the bookshelf, cleaning the window, washing the curtains, and organizing a cabinet. Then move to the next stripe and keep going till you've covered the room.

Work on one room at a time, even if you'll be doing similar chores like washing walls or vacuuming in several rooms. You'll get a greater feeling of accomplishment, and save steps. Put all your cleaning supplies, including dusting cloths and paper towels, into a clean bucket to carry from room to room.

All rooms

• Thoroughly dust and vacuum all surfaces, from crown mouldings to baseboards and under furniture. Carefully dust lightbulbs, chandeliers and wall sconces.

• Use all those funny little attachments that came with the vacuum cleaner to do lampshades, pictures, upholstered furniture, shelves and chair legs.

• Take down sheers and curtains and wash or send out for dry cleaning. Wash interior windows as well as windowsills.

• Wash the walls. This is easier than you think, if you use a sponge mop, a bucket of diluted all-purpose cleaning solution and start at the bottom, not the top; drips are easier to clean when they run onto an already-cleaned wall.

• Organize bookshelves and storage cabinets; if possible, remove and dust or vacuum books and knick-knacks, and thoroughly clean the shelf before putting the books back.

• Roll up area rugs and vacuum the floor beneath them; then vacuum both sides of the rug thoroughly. With valuable rugs such as Persians, send them out for professional cleaning, or hang them on the line and beat with a broom or rug beater.

• Open the windows wide and let the fresh spring air in.

Kitchen

• Thoroughly vacuum tops of cabinets, fridge coils and stove vents. If possible, move appliances out and clean or vacuum under them. Wash outsides of appliances; shine up stainless steel with a few drops of vegetable oil on a paper towel.

• Clean out the fridge. Throw away never-used jars of food and what my mother used to call "furry friends." Then thoroughly clean the interior with baking soda and water, or use an all-purpose spray cleaner (rinse afterward). If possible, remove shelves and wash in the sink with dish detergent.

• Clean cabinetry inside and out, one cupboard at a time. Remove contents; wash interior, then replace the contents, throwing away or recycling all those strange things you'll never eat or use. Then wash the outside of the cabinet. When you're done, wash tops and bottoms of cabinets.

• Scrub floor with an all-purpose cleaning solution and a scrub brush to get out ground-in grime. Vinyl floors can be sprayed with a foaming cleanser, left for a few minutes, then wiped clean with a damp mop. Use tile cleaner to clean grout on ceramic tile and some stone floors.

Bathroom

• Scrub around faucets with bathroom cleaner and an old toothbrush to get rid of built-up soap scum. If mildew on tile is a problem, use the toothbrush and tile cleaner to get rid of it.

• Take down shower curtains and plastic liner and wash.

• Clean and wash cupboards, throwing away expired medicines and cosmetics you'll never use.

Bedroom

• Strip all bedlinens, including bedskirt, and wash. Vacuum mattress and box spring and spray lightly with fabric freshener.

• Unless your mattress is the no-flip kind, flip and rotate the mattress.

• Open and clean out closets and dresser drawers. Give away clothes you haven't worn for a year; dry-clean or launder what you're keeping.

Tips and Facts About Do-It Yourself Carpet Cleaning

Carpet Care Tips

While regular carpet cleaning by professionals is necessary to ensure your carpet leads a long and healthy life, additional care and maintenance on your part can go a long way. Proper care and maintenance of your carpet will extend its useful life and preserve its appearance longer. Failure to maintain proper care will result in premature wear. Additionally, clean carpets contribute to a healthy indoor environment.

Useful Tips

-In a pinch, make your own spot remover by mixing 1/4 teaspoon liquid detergent (without bleach) and 1 cup cold water.

-Over time, the stain-resistancy of stain-resistant carpet wears down. -For optimum performance, have a protector regularly applied after cleaning.

-Stain-resistant does not mean stain-proof. Be sure to act immediately to prevent spots and spills from causing permanent damage.

-Your furniture collects everyday dirt and soil just like your carpet. For convenience, have both professionally cleaned at the same time.

-Vacuum frequently and thoroughly. Most of the wear of carpeting is caused by dirt. Oily soils attract more oily soil and frequent vacuuming will reduce soil buildup.

-Get at stains quickly, 99% of all stains can be removed by one cleaning agent or another if they are cleaned in the first few days. ----The longer a stain chemically reacts with the carpet the harder it will be to remove it.

-Test carpet before scrubbing, extracting or spotting. All carpets are different. Some carpets are very sensitive to acid type cleaners and will lose their color quickly. Other carpet dyes are sensitive to harsh alkalis.

-Use appropriate spotters starting with the mildest. Do not use harsh spotting agents unless absolutely necessary and always neutralize high alkaline or high acid cleaners after use.

-Never dig or brush spots. The proper procedure is to scrape the spot towards the middle and then tamp the spot into the white towel or cloth using a brush or other tamping devices. A meat tenderizer makes a great tamping tool.

-Do not overuse detergents, shampoos or spotters. Too much detergent will result in residual left in the carpet that even thorough vacuuming may not remove.

-Do not overwet carpet. Our carpet detergents are chemically active enough so they do not need a tremendous amount of wetting. Over-wetting can cause brownout, carpet shrinkage, adhesion problems and all other kinds of nightmares.

-Extract residual if possible. Rotary scrubbing will clean the carpet fibers the best by encapsulating dirt and detergent residue, which powders off the carpet. Periodic extraction will flush out this dirt and other organisms deep in the carpet.

-Never “coat” a dirty or spotty carpet. After scrubbing or extracting a dirty carpet, if you are not satisfied with the results, do not apply a coat of carpet protector as this will result in “gluing in the dirt” making it harder to remove it the next time. Either re-scrub or extract the carpet or leave the carpet until the next cleaning cycle before you coat.

-Vacuum frequently and thoroughly. It is so important it deserves two recommendations.

Between Cleanings

The normal hustle and bustle of everyday life can take its toll on your carpet. To keep yours looking its best between professional cleanings, vacuum heavy traffic areas two to three times a week, and the rest of your carpet once a week.

Using indoor and outdoor mats at each entrance can reduce the amount of dirt tracked into your home. Be sure to clean these periodically to ensure their utmost effectiveness.
