When it comes to spring cleaning, planning is key.

A Few Simple Strategies to Simplify the Process

• Create a cleaning caddy for every bathroom, the kitchen, and garage

• Keep a canister of cleaning wipes handy

• Clean your cleaning supplies

• Mix 1/3 cup of CLORALEN Disinfectant Bleach with 1.5 gallons of water to disinfect and deep clean non-porous floors

• Sanitize countertops, kitchen sinks, and appliances by mixing 1 tablespoon of bleach with 1 gallon of water

• Clean baseboards without bending and crawling by attaching a microfiber cloth to a broom’s bristles

• Mix four parts water to one part fabric softener to create an easy shower door scum remover

To make your spring cleaning tasks easier and keep your house smelling fresh every day, Erin Chase shares her top hacks to get the best results from those larger cleaning tasks. Here are some of the strategies she recommends:

• Create a cleaning caddy for every bathroom, the kitchen, and garage. Having all of your supplies ready for quick touchups and cleaning saves tons of time. • Keep a canister of cleaning wipes handy. Erin Chase prefers naturally-derived Art of Green wipes because they cut through scum and have amazing scents. These wipes are safe for use around kids and pets and protect sensitive skin. • Clean your cleaning supplies. Deodorize your mop by adding 3/4 cups of Pinalen Original to a gallon of water, soak for an hour, scrub and rinse. • To really disinfect and deep clean non-porous floors, add 1/3 cup of CLORALEN Disinfectant Bleach to 1.5 gallons of water and mop or scrub and let dry. You’ll be surprised at how much dirt and grime come off and how much the floors sparkle. • Sanitize countertops, kitchen sinks, and appliances by mixing 1 tablespoon of bleach with 1 gallon of water and applying. Let it stand for at least two minutes and dry. • Clean baseboards without bending and crawling by attaching a microfiber cloth to a broom’s bristles. Spray the cloth with your favorite cleaner and scrub. • To make an easy shower door scum remover, mix four parts water to one part fabric softener like Ensueno Max, spray onto scum, wipe off with a sponge and rinse with warm water. By implementing these simple strategies and having the right tools and supplies, you’ll be able to tackle your spring cleaning tasks with ease and make the most of your time.
