With Spring just around the corner, many are looking forward to brighter weather and spending time relaxing outdoors. While cleaning may not be at the top of the list of fun springtime activities, the experts at Merry Maids say following these simple tips will bust the dust and erase the grime in no time so you can get back to more enjoyable tasks.

• Be methodical – Work from the top of a room down. Dust first and vacuum last. Carry everything you need with you in a cleaner’s apron or bucket.
• Shine in no time – Put a piece of waxed paper under your dust mop. Dirt will stick to the mop, and the wax will shine the floors.
• Miniblind magic – Wipe down your miniblinds with a damp fabric softener sheet. This will eliminate the static that collects dust. The same trick works for your TV screen.
• Use time wisely – Give cleaning solutions time to work. Spritz the light fixtures and mirrors in the bath and the cleaner work while you scrub the tub and toilet. Then come back to them.

Using these tips will help you keep the inside of your home just as fresh and clean as the outdoors this Spring.
