Handy checklist on how to clean your home inside and out To help you tidy up and get organized for spring, consider the following indoor cleaning shortcuts and organizational checklist from The Home Depot Canada: · Sparkle the windows Spotless windows can make a room gleam, brightening up your interior décor and framing the outside view to perfection. · Clear out the ducts Cleaning out the ducts will improve air quality and circulation, and also keep them dust and allergen free. · Banish the dust To get truly down-and-dirty, use a scowl and scrub away at dirt and stains with old-school brushes and sponges. For those small, hard to reach areas an old toothbrush does the trick on sharp corners. · Smelling nice To mask garbage or laundry room odours, consider plug-in air fresheners, room sprays and candles. Those with sensitive noses should know that there are now air fresheners on the market that neutralize odours without leaving a scent. · Be environmentally friendly Considering using environmentallyfriendly cleaning products when mopping and scrubbing the home. There are a variety of environmentally-friendly products available at The Home Depot that will help protect our environment and help you get the job done. · Pick through the closet Leaf through the closet to select items and clothes you can either donate or store until next winter. If you haven't already, think beyond the closet rod and install a closet organizer to create more space.
