Squeegie the bathroom stall and glass after every shower.Â Getting into the habit of wiping clean the shower stall after bathing prevents unnecessary buildup from hard water deposits.Â Even if you have soft water, keep to this habit.Â Soft water still leaves unsightly streaks, and taking just a minute to clean the interior will pay off over time.
Clean the fridge before you shop.Â The easiest way to maintain a clean refrigerator is to do a quick â€œsort and wipeâ€ before you add new items into the mix.Â Dump any spoiled food, then use a cloth rinsed in warm water and soap and wipe down the interior.Â This three-minute procedure will save you from unnecessary scrubbing later, and your food prep will be more pleasant, as you work from a clean and attractive fridge.
4. Teach your family to remove shoes at entry. If your house has a lot of carpet, this one tip will save you much trouble and heartache later.Â Our shoes track in dirt, dust and animal feces every day, and thatâ€™s just what we see. Â If there is any dew or moisture on the shoes, that leaves a wet trace, which then attracts dirt, oils, and more dust.Â Those then become the unsightly black spots we find on our carpet.Â Most of that can be prevented just by removing the offender at the front door.
Follow these ideas, and youâ€™re house will look like you hired a cleaning lady. Â Remember, pre-treat, pre-clean, and pre-plan.Â When these three things are followed on a consistent basis, success will show in your home.
