Fall Cleaning Tips

Gwen and Lindsey share some of their favorite tips for the change of season...

1) Pull out your fall wardrobe…
Swap out your spring/summer clothing with your fall clothing. We love our accessories such as the Under Bed Storage, Hanging Storage and All-Purpose Storage Bags for off-season storing. If your items were already washed, just grab the steamer and some Fabric Fresh and you are ready to go! If not…click here.



2) Get your spring bedding washed and away and pull out the fall blanket layers…
Since you have already washed and perfectly stored these items, just pop them on the line for some crisp fall air so they are fresh on the bed.



3) The change of season is the perfect time to wash the inside and outside of windows…
Newspaper is always great for this task with along with our Scented Vinegar or Glass & Mirror Cleaner. Don’t forget to clean the screens too. We love our All-Purpose Cleaning Concentrate and a hose for this task! Afterwards, throw open the windows, spray some Home Spray and let the fabulous fall air flow!


4) Before putting the whites away…
Give them a good wash in hot water with our Bleach Alternative & Whites Detergent. Anything that may have been worn, you should wash to remove the perfume, body oil, etc. to avoid mystery yellow spots. Just remember, do not starch anything before storing. Starch can create yellowing and also provides a food source for little critters.


5) It is always a good time to clean your drains…
We can’t get enough if it! Clean, deodorize and unclog drains with 1/4 cup All-Purpose Bleach Alternative and 1 cup boiling Vinegar. Let sit for 5 minutes then run hot water down the drain. This is also great in half proportion for the garbage disposal.

Above you mention using a steamer on already cleaned clothes before storing. What steamer do you recommend?

Thanks,
Justin
