What’s the concept of spring cleaning?
Spring is one season when there’s dense moisture in the air. It somehow affects the dryness or freshness of home, offices or even enters your clothes. In order to get rid of it, spring cleaning becomes the only option left.
Basically, the purpose of spring cleaning is to bring a fresh vibe to your working or living place. And when it comes to bringing freshness nothing can be better than using lemon which is a high source of citric acid. Apart from lemon, there are countless other options to get rid of that stinky moisture in the air.
If you have never done that before or about to start with your spring cleaning then here are few hacks that may help you get done with it perfectly in a smart way. Check out the list and start the cleaning process now-
1. Clean different sections- Don’t rush all your cleaning activities at the same time. This could lead you nowhere. Make sure to start with small sections. Keep some targets in your mind. One day, go for cleaning the living area thoroughly and then the next start with another section of your home. The same rules apply for your office spring cleaning as well. Rushing things will make your schedule hectic and won’t even let you have a complete cleaning. Apart from this, if you continue the cleaning process for long, it makes the results long-lasting & let that freshness stay for long in your every section of the home.
2. Lemon- As we discussed it above as well, lemon is a great and easily available source of fresh citric acid. This acid is not just good for your health, skin but also for cleaning purposes as well. Right from getting back that spark of your copper utensils to removing the stubborn stain on the furniture, a small slice of lemon can give you all. Just like any other section of the home, the moisture of spring season leaves a great impact on different kitchen equipment as well including- oven or microwaves. If you ever get to witness a stinky smell in your oven, then all you need is to place some fresh peels of orange and a half cut lemon slice. After this, just switch on the oven on microwave mode for good 1 minute. This will eradicate the smell and will leave your oven cum microwave with a fresh tangy fragrance for long.

You can always make a home-made cleaner with the help of some orange peel, juice, lemon drops, baking soda/ powder, salt and some vinegar. Usually, all these ingredients are easily available in your kitchen and having a right proportion of the all, you can make yourself a great cleanser which can give you effective results. And the best part about is it won’t affect or damage any of your belongings.
4. Sanitizer is a must- If you have a cute little munchkin at your home then using a skin-friendly sanitizer become a must option to keep. Clean the baby products or toys with the sanitizer regularly so that you ensure a better safety for your baby.

9. Use salt for equipment- When it comes to removing those hard stains on iron, oven, or any other kitchen equipment, nothing works perfectly. In such cases, do nothing but use salt and some vinegar.
