Prolonging Fingerprint-Free Stainless Steel
I definitely subscribe to the age-old adage "Necessity is the mother of invention." I am all about improvisational ideas! One day while cleaning, I found I had run out of my stainless steel cleaner. I looked through my cleaners, and the only thing akin to steel cleaner was my Swiffer Multi-Surface Dust and Shine Spray. The cleaner is indicated for wood, granite, leather, and marble, but it worked wonderfully on my fridge!
Part I
Next, I cleaned with the Swiffer Multi-Surface Spray.
Cleaning the Crevices of a Glass-Top Range
The advent of the glass top range was supposed to make our lives easier, right? Temperatures would be better-controlled. It would be easier to clean. No longer were the days of dismantling the range to clean messy drip pans.
In some ways, I do agree with that. However, how do you clean the crevices along the top of the range? Before I thought of this idea, I would take a butter knife and run it carefully along the edges, but noticed even with my gentle hand, there were tiny abrasions. I thought of a simple solution that really works.
You will need:
Dishcloth
Small plastic ruler
Spray your range surface with cleanser. With the wrapped dishcloth, use the edge of the ruler to trail along the inside edges of the range top.
After. All clean!!
I hope these tips have been helpful, and that you are enjoying some sunshine wherever you are!!!!!
Keeping Your Bathroom Mirrors Steam and Streak-free Longer
I can't claim this tip as my own, but it does work! A few years ago, I became a fan of the BBC America program "How Clean is Your House?" The show featured two ladies: Kim and Aggie, a Brit and a Scot, who would go into some of the messiest houses in the UK, and subsequently the USA, offering cleaning tips with candor and humor. It was one of my guilty pleasures, for sure! I loved seeing those spaces transformed! On one of the episodes, after cleaning a bathroom mirror, a client was told to then apply and wipe off shaving cream. It prevents the mirror from steaming up after the shower has been used, and also repels dirt a bit longer. It sounds wonky, but really, it works! If you are a busy person like me, anything to alleviate the time-crunch helps.

I hope to get started on my spring cleaning soon. Your remarks about it are quite inspiring! And I'd like to try that mirror tip, but I have no shaving cream on hand.
DeleteHappy shopping! Thank you for popping in! ;)
DeleteI love spring cleaning as well. One thing I no longer do that we use to always do is wash down all of the walls. Paint is much better now and that is just a big job that this ole gal can do without! lol! Thanks for sharing with SYC.
