It is hard to believe that very quickly now the holiday season will be behind us and a new year will begin. Many of us use the storing away of the season’s decorations to do a good deep cleaning of our home. There is something satisfying about getting ready to snuggle into the winter by feeling our home is cleaned and ready for the long winter months. This post will offer up some great tips for giving your overlooked areas a really great deep clean. This will hopefully start the New Year of 2018 off to an awesome start for you and your family. Remember to take your time and tackle one thing at a time.
Deep Cleaning Tips | Coin Laundry Raleigh NC
The first thing we suggest to get the ball rolling is to tackle the fridge. There is bound to be leftover holiday foods and of course spills and what not all over the inside. Toss out all the leftovers and then from top to bottom use a cloth and an all-purpose cleaner to clean each shelf. Remove stuff from the shelves first to ensure you get every crumb and spill. We suggest doing this prior to your weekly re-stock of groceries to make the job a little easier. Once the inside is cleaned up turn your attention outside the fridge. Unplug the fridge from the outlet and pull it away from the wall. Using your vacuum cleaners brush tool clean the coils. Many refrigerators come with a front removable grille where you can access the coils from the front. Once this is done plug it back in, push it back into place, then give the outside a good wash down to remove sticky prints from the outside.
Next turn your attention to that much-used oven. All those recipe spillovers are still there and need attention. Do not be scared of this seemingly tough chore. Today’s oven cleaners are much more gentle than those of years past. If you are really sensitive to the fumes or have skin sensitivities then you can make a paste of 1 tablespoon of dishwashing soap, 1/2 cup of baking soda, and enough water to make it the consistency of toothpaste. Rub this mixture into all of the spills and grime on the bottom and the side walls of your oven. Leave this mixture to soak for at least 5 minutes. Wipe it clean with a wet cloth. If you prefer there are other commercial oven cleaners on the market that are fume free and gentle.
While in the kitchen look at your cabinets. After a holiday cooking frenzy, there are more than likely splatters, fingerprints, and oil accumulation on them. Regular dish soap works well to degrease and clean the surface of your cabinets safely. Just use soapy water and a microfiber cloth to get hem cleaned up quickly. Make sure to give the hardware some attention. The inside edge and corners also need your attention as well.
