10 ideas to do spring cleaning at home
1. Put the house in order. Collecting toys, magazines and all the things that are going around on the carpet and the room will help make it much easier to do spring cleaning.
2. Cleaning the floor is a very important part of the cleaning routine. The first thing to do is a dry run with a vacuum cleaner to remove hairs, lint, dust, etc. and then make a wet pass to finish collecting dust and debris that may have remained. In addition, it is advisable to have a doormat, since it collects between 80-85% of waste before entering the house.
3. You have washed your clothes, but have you washed the washing machine? Washers can accumulate mold over time. To ensure that no traces of dirt remain, an empty load can be made with 4 cups of bleach and another load with 4 cups of distilled white vinegar, and it will be fresh from the store.

7. Clean the blinds. The solution is to mix equal parts of warm water and distilled white vinegar in a bowl. Slip an old sock in your hand and dip the sock into the mixture of water and vinegar before cleaning each slat individually.
8. Eliminate dust mites. To do this, dust must be thoroughly cleaned from top to bottom. Starting with the ceiling, corners of the walls, lamps. It may be helpful to use a duster to easily clean the lampshades or other delicate furniture.
