But there are a few quick tips that can reduce your anxiety over the spring-cleaning madness.<\/p>\n<h3>Vacuuming Carpets<\/h3>\n<p>More dirt and dust settle in high traffic areas of carpets and rugs. Take more time with these areas. Vacuum around doorways and dining tables where trails of dirt may surface. Only lightly vacuum the rest of the carpet.<\/p>\n<h3>Cleaning Outside Windows<\/h3>\n<p>Attach a multi-surface window cleaner to your garden hose. First, switch the hose nozzle to &ldquo;rinse&rdquo; and spray the windows. Then, change it to &ldquo;clean&rdquo; and spray the cleaning fluid. Next, rinse the windows again with clean water. Later, dry them with a microfiber or soft terry cloth to avoid streaks.<\/p>\n<h3>Use Steam to Clean<\/h3>\n<p>Curtains are a pain to clean. You have to either vacuum or throw them in the washer. To make it easier, use a steamer. You won&rsquo;t even have to take them down from the windows. A steam cleaner will sanitize, clean, and remove any wrinkles.<\/p>\n<h3>Refresh Your Mattress with Baking Soda<\/h3>\n<p>While washing your sheets, sprinkle a light coating of baking soda over the mattress. This will lift dirt and deodorize it. Leave the soda on when you remake the bed. Vacuum it up the next time you wash your sheets.<\/p>\n<h3>Sofa and Couch Cleaning<\/h3>\n<p>Remove the cushions from your sofas and couches and set them aside. Use a hand vacuum or a vacuum attachment to remove crumbs and other debris that gather underneath the cushions. Take a lint roller and run it over all of the cushions to get rid of dust and dirt.<\/p>\n<p>Contact Mid Atlantic Insurance Financial to learn more quick and easy tips for spring cleaning. You can also stop by the office in Laurel, Maryland to speak with an agent. They can assist you with home, auto, commercial, and other types of insurance needs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dredging your way through the mounds of household cleaning duties might make you want to pull your hair out.
