Best Cleaning tips #4, Random Spring decorating

Happy Tuesday
Sweet Friends,

Hope this finds you enjoying the
 Spring weather and maybe even
 doing some Spring cleaning!  

I am indeed enjoying Spring, we 
could not believe the difference
in our yard in just 1 week while
we were away.  Course, hubby
did put down some fertilizer on
the grass, but the transformation
was amazing, and of course, the
trees have gotten more leaves and
just everything is coming back to
life.......and looks so beautiful.

Haven't done too much Spring
cleaning yet, but did take down
my Easter Decorations today,
and am just  replacing it with
something than looks more like
Spring than Easter.....so maybe
later this week or next week I
will get to some things, like
cleaning out the pantry, that
has been bugging me.....lol

Decided to add some birdies to it.



Pictures today are just some of
the changes I have made today
from Easter to Spring..............


Well, here are 6 more tips I have
learned over the years.

This has been a series....so if you
would like to see Part 3 click here.


#19

Take a used bath cloth and wipe your
bathroom counters and faucets down every
 morning, and it keeps your bath looking 
great until cleaning day!
(Just learned this one a few month ago
 from Lois over at Walking on Sunshine
 Blog, and have been doing every since,
It was a really great tip!

#20
When cooking, have a sink of hot or
warm soapy water, to just drop utensils
or dishes in....and it will result in easier
clean up, cause nothing will be stuck
on and hard to get off.............

#21
When changing your kitchen garbage
bag, either put the whole roll of unused
garbage bags in the bottom of the trash
can or pull off a number of them to 
leave in the bottom, that way you don't
have to go get one every time, it will
save you steps and time.

#22
Have you moved the furniture lately
and it has left dents in the carpeting?

Then take some ice cubes and put them
 on the dented areas, and let them sit until 
they melt then take a coin/ or your fingers
 and rub back and forth on the wet areas
 to fluff them up more...........you may
 have to do it a few times, but it works
well. Got this Tip from Martha Stewart 
many moons ago.........

This was before

this was after, just a few lil changes



#23
Have any Iron Stone type dishware
that has scratches?? 

 I have used  sink polish and it works
 great.  You should be able to find sink
 polish at Lowe's or Home Depot. 
 It is what they use on acrylic sinks
 and sinks made of corian.  Just put
 a little bit on a damp cloth and rub
 on the scratches till you buff them
 out. You might need to apply a
 little bit of pressure as you rub.

love these cute lil birdies

#24

 Baseboards need cleaning

The old way :

I would use an old pillow or

 a garden kneeling cushion and

get down their and dust.

The New Way:

The " Swiffer Duster 360

extendable handle".  I love

this lil baby....I don't even have

 to bend over just run it along 

the baseboards.

Great for us older ladies as

it is a lot harder to get up

and down off the floor than

it used to be............lol

You can also just use reg.

swiffer duster refills if you

don't want to purchase the

"360" ones too.

I just learned about this a year or

 so ago, as my SIL had one and

while we were taking care of her

house while she was in rehab for

her hip surgery,  I used it and it

was great, so we decided to get

one too.  A good decision!!


Well, hope one or more of these tips 
will help make life easier for you!!


Thanks for stoppin' by and hope 
you stop and say hello..............

Have a good rest of the week.

Hugs n' Blessings,

Nellie
