Try Winter Cleaning This Year By Ecoline Windows February 18, 2014 Many of us are familiar with the phrase “Spring Cleaning,” but when warm weather finally does grace us with its presence we all want to spend our time outside, rather than scrubbing floors. Changing to “Winter Cleaning” will not only allow you to enjoy the sun as soon as it emerges, but it’s also a great way to beat the winter blues. Dusting up soot and grim that accumulates from our long indoor habitation can make your house smell fresh and clean and almost springlike. Organizing your things and getting rid of clutter will ease your mind and bring a sense of peace into your life. Another great advantage is the workout you’ll get from cleaning your house! Here are a few steps to take to effectively clean during the winter. First, clean your ceilings. These are rarely scrubbed and will surely need it in the kitchen where there is lots of build up from cooking. Use a small amount of dish soap and warm water. Just use enough to scrub off stains, not enough water to drip. Next, clean your windows. Using a small amount of vinegar in the mixture will really make them shine. This will get off any residue from burning candles throughout the winter months. It is also very important to dust in the winter because homes are so warm and dry. Make sure to dust every surface; this includes books, light fixtures, overhead ceiling fans, etc. Dusting will brighten up your house and reduce allergens. Deep clean floors and carpets. With all the slush and salt that comes in the house in the winter, these will surely need some work. Get a steam cleaner for the carpets and scrub the floors. Also, to avoid more mess in the future, keep some sort of tray by the entryway for boots and shoes that have been out in the elements. Finally, clean your furnace. It is important to change your filter once a month and to keep the area around your furnace clean. This will improve air quality and help your furnace work more efficiently.
