Spring-Cleaning Tips<br />
If spring is in the air, don’t let a musty house spoil it. Here are<br />
seven tips for giving the season the welcome it deserves.<br />
1. The best refrigerator cleaner is a combination of salt and<br />
soda water. The bubbling action of the soda water combines<br />
with the abrasive texture of the salt to make a great cleaner.<br />
2. The best way to get rid of lime buildup around the faucet<br />
it is to lay paper towels over the fixture, soak it with vinegar<br />
and let it set for an hour. The deposits will soften and become<br />
easier to remove.<br />
3. Clean screens with a scrap of carpeting. It makes a powerful<br />
brush that removes all the dirt.<br />
4. Clean windows with a rag and soapy water and then dry<br />
them with another rag. You can also go to an auto-parts store<br />
and buy a windshield squeegee, which cleans very well.<br />
5. If drapes are looking drab, take them out of the window,<br />
remove the hooks and run them through the air-fluff cycle in<br />
the dryer along with a wet towel (to draw off the dust) for 15<br />
minutes. Hang them back in the windows immediately.<br />
6. Clean the blades of a ceiling fan by covering them with a<br />
coat of furniture polish. Wipe off the excess and lightly buff.<br />
7. Sometimes comforters, blankets and pillows don’t need<br />
to be cleaned, but they do need to be aired out after a long<br />
winter in your closed-up home. Take them outside and hang<br />
them on a clothesline for a day.<br />
