But, actually jumping into a deep clean is another story. Here are some simple tips to whip your home into shape without breaking a sweat :<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>#1 Wall Cleaning<\/strong><br \/>\nA Magic Eraser is your best bet for tackling walls \u2014 it can spot clean anything from splatters to crayon marks. It\u2019s tough enough to reach the cobwebs that collect in the corners of your walls and ceiling. You can also cover the bristles of a broom with a cloth or old T-shirt and use it to knock down any dusty spots.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>#2 Carpets and Rugs<\/strong><br \/>\nTake a little more time vacuuming the high-traffic areas of your house. (Make sure you don\u2019t forget to spot treat any stubborn stains with a stain-removal product.) If your rug or carpet has lingering odors, sprinkle some baking soda over it and let it sit for a few hours. Vacuum up the baking soda and you\u2019ll find the odors have disappeared.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>#3 Mattress Ideas<\/strong><br \/>\nGive your mattress cover a thorough cleaning in the washing machine \u2014 don\u2019t forget to throw in a cup of white vinegar to boost the cleaning process. Sprinkle baking soda on your mattress while you\u2019re washing the cover. You can vacuum it up later when you\u2019re making the bed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>#4 Shower Care<\/strong><br \/>\nDon\u2019t knock yourself out trying to clean glass shower doors. Add a couple drops of water to your dryer sheets and use them to wipe down your shower doors. You can even let your showerhead clean itself overnight while you sleep. Simply tie a bag filled with white vinegar around your showerhead and let it soak overnight. Remove the bag in the morning for a non-clogged shower experience.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>#5 Toilet Scrubbing<\/strong><br \/>\nHave water stains built up in your toilet? Cola can help you attack these stains with little effort. Just pour some in the toilet, let it sit for several minutes, then flush.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>#6 Oven Shine<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you have an oven with a self-cleaning feature, spring is a great time to finally run that cycle. Otherwise, mix baking soda with a bit of water and use it to quickly clean up grease and various other spills inside the oven.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>#7 Clutter Solutions<\/strong><br \/>\nWhen you don\u2019t have time to clean but you need your house to look presentable, tackling clutter is the quickest way to create the illusion of a clean house. Zip through each room of the house and put anything that doesn\u2019t belong into a basket. This strategy requires very little work and can make a big difference in your home\u2019s appearance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><br \/>\nAlthough these tips won\u2019t completely eliminate the effort involved in spring cleaning, they\u2019ll make the job a whole lot easier. Spring is a time of new beginnings \u2014 if you use even a couple of these ideas, your home will enjoy a clean and fresh start to the upcoming season.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.coldwellbanker.com\/blog\/lazy-guide-spring-cleaning-home\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Lazy Guide to Spring Cleaning at Home<\/a> by Lindsay Listanski | Coldwell Banker Blue Matter<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No one likes spring cleaning (except maybe Danny Tanner) but here are some easy ways to get the job done quickly.
