Kishor’s Top 10 Spring Cleaning Jobs

1 To begin, Kishor always sug-

gests working room by room

and working from top to bottom and

left to right. This helps one keep

on task.

2 Remove items to be taken to

dry cleaning or washed, such

as drapes and decorative bedding.

Many draperies and curtains are

machine washable, but check labels

fi rst. Dry-clean fabric shades. Wipe

down wooden, metal or vinyl blinds

with a damp cloth and warm water

mixed with a little mild dishwash-

ing liquid.

3 Damp-dust places that are not

part of your regular house-

cleaning, such as high shelves, win-

dow ledges and art.

4 Wipe down walls and ceil-

ings, concentrating on fi nger-

prints and soiled areas. No need

for chemicals – use a bit of water

and baking soda to get scuff marks

off . However, if you have really

stubborn surface grime, especially

prevalent in kitchens, tackle it with

a solvent-free degreaser (test it fi rst

in an inconspicuous area).

5 Clean, vacuum and treat uphol-

stered and leather furniture to

bring a new life and longevity.

6 Clean and treat wood furniture

to bring it back to its original

shine. Do you have heat damaged

wood or stubborn wet-glass rings

on your favourite wood table? They

may be removed by rubbing a mix-

ture of equal parts of distilled vine-

gar and a quarter cup of baking soda

with a gallon of warm water. Then

wipe off and apply wood protector

of your choice. Voila! Back to new.

7 When vacuuming and cleaning

fl oors and/or rugs, move furni-

ture and clean underneath; perhaps

move the layout around to get a

new perspective. Synthetic carpets

and rugs with waterproof backings

can be deep-cleaned with a rotary

shampoo machine and a hot-water

extraction machine. However, rugs

without backings, such as those

expensive oriental rugs, require

professional cleaning.

8 Pull out items in cabinets and

drawers, vacuum out debris

and wipe down both the inside of

the drawers and the items in them,

then return them back in place. This

is a great way to downsize and feel

lighter.

9 Wash down windows and win-

dow sills. For streak-free win-

dows, mix equal parts of distilled

vinegar and warm water. Use either

a dry cloth or newspaper … yes, it

really works! Open the windows and

let that fresh air circulate.

10 Head outside to sweep away

old man winter and spray

down decks and sidewalks. A pres-

sure washer can be rented from

tool and equipment rental shops or

at some hardware stores. P.S. For

another sense of renewal, consider

buying a new doormat to welcome

in the new season.

For more information and tips on home organizing go to www.everythingorganized.net.

Spring has fi nally arrived, and home owners are embarking on that

yearly observance that seems to grip us and not let go – spring clean-

ing.

Yes, the sun is shining through our (slightly grubby) windows and we are

struck by an urge to grab a pair of rubber gloves, a pail, soap and a host of

other cleaning agents and rid our homes of dirt and grime. But it can seem

like a big undertaking if you don’t know how to go about it.

REW.ca went to the experts to help guide you through this impor-

tant spring custom. Christine Kishor, Everything Organized franchisee in

Kelowna, was more than happy to provide her to-do list.

“Spring cleaning doesn’t have to be a daunting task if you break it down

into bite-sized steps,” says Kishor.

It’s exciting to discover a new devel-opment off ering unsurpassed quality and timeless beauty in Vancouver; let alone one that is well priced. Welcome to Bennington House in Cambie Street Village.

Crafted of brick and cedar façade, Bennington House is a contemporary design that fi ts seamlessly into this established but emerging neighbour-hood.

The four-storey boutique style apart-ment building and three-storey town-homes, designed by respected Ramsay Worden Architects, showcase timeless elegance.

This limited collection of 42 homes – six townhomes and 36 apartments – off ers the latest in contemporary fi n-ishes thoughtfully designed by Cristina Oberti. Discerning homebuyers will appreciate the atten-tion to detail that went into these homes – open spacious fl oors plans, nine-foot c e i l -

ings (10 feet in townhomes), engi-neered wide-plank Kentwood Hardwood fl oors in Brushed Ash Gray’s Harbour or Brush Oak Feldspar, soft carpeting in bedrooms and expansive windows, to name just a few.

“Bennington House opens its doors to the public offi cially the weekend of April 18 and 19 for its Grand Opening Event,” says Anthony Hepworth, presi-dent and CEO of Pennyfarthing Homes. “In advance to this, interested parties can contact the sales team at 604 558 1907 or [email protected] for private previewing opportunities begin-ning in early April.”

The gourmet-inspired kitchens will be a joy to work in, with Quartz counter-tops and glass marble mosaic tile back-splash, polished marble backsplash and plenty of natural light streaming in.

These elegant kitchens also come complete with integrated

cabinetry show-cased by

designer Bosch stainless steel appli-ances. The Zen-like bathrooms are sure to beckon you. The contemporary design off ers a refreshing sanctuary with its luxurious shower and bathtub with Grohe Concetto fi xtures. In addi-tion, each home features large balco-nies - perfect to take in our stunning West coast’s sunsets. Then, head to the fully landscaped common courtyard to share a cup of coff ee and a chat with neighbours and friends.

The lifestyle, the location and the stunning residences – ranging from 530 to 1327 square-foot (junior one-bed to three-bedroom) apartments, to 1160 to 1863 square feet for two- and three-bed-plus-fl ex townhomes with in-home access to the parkade – make this an exciting opportunity to buy into an exclusive enclave from the high $300,000s.

These homes come to you from award-winning builder, Pennyfarthing Homes. For more than 35 years the company’s deep commitment to classic

design and quality workmanship has earned its place as a premier

builder in the province. Pennyfarthing

Homes is renowned for crafting resi-

dences that will exceed your expec-

tations. Its homes and communities

transcend average building standards,

with materials that refl ect a heightened

sensibility and taste.

”We don’t merely build homes, we

create an elevated lifestyle,” adds

Hepworth.

With prices starting from the high

$300,000s, these residences will not

last. Don’t miss this exclusive oppor-

tunity to buy in one of Vancouver’s

sought-after neighbourhoods, minutes

away from great shopping districts –

dining, entertainment, services and

shopping destinations – as well as rec-

reational and entertainment amenities.

EXCELLENT LOCATION + QUALITY FINISHES =
