The Dirty Truth

The Dirty Truth of the matter is that housework is never done! With so many tricks up my sleeve, I thought I’d share my top 3 with you just in time to start tackling Spring cleaning!

1. Keep your glass shower doors sparkling days after they were cleaned. Wash the shower doors thoroughly, then polish with lemon oil to help repel future soap build up. If a squeegee has yet to take up real estate in your shower, I suggest picking one up at the store and making it part of your morning shower routine.

2. Keep your blinds and shutters dust free! There’s no escaping dust when living in the Sonoran desert. Just because dust is a part of life, doesn’t mean you have to accept it! Don’t toss out your old gym socks, keep them in a bin in your laundry room and when dust starts to invade your blinds and shutters, place the sock on your hand with a little spray of Pledge and lightly dust away the dirty evidence.

3. Disinfecting the dishwasher. Ever wonder what that funky smell is lurking in your dishwasher? De-funk your dishwasher by adding 1 cup of baking soda to the bottom of your dishwasher and let it sit overnight. Trade in your detergent for vinegar and run the hottest temp cycle to clean and deodorize your dishwasher.
