5 Important Spring Cleaning Tips

This is the week when we will finally see an end to the winter-like weather here in Central New York.  Warmer days and less rain is what we've been promised.

Maybe the improvement will help motivate you to do that dreaded spring cleaning around the house.  If that's the case, here are some places that should be given extra attention when cleaning:

-Mouse and Keyboard:   Disinfectant wipes will do the job to get rid of all those germs that have accumulated over the past few months.

-Computer:   Has it been awhile since you deleted old digital files from your PC?   The clutter will only slow your device down.  Get rid of old notes and screen shots on that PC too.

-Pocketbook:  There may be items in your handbag that you have not seen or used in months.  It may be time to empty the pocketbook and throw away the junk you no longer use.  Small zipper bags are perfect for storing the items.

-Stroller and car Seat:  Parents know how dirty these can be.   That's why the stroller and car seats need a thorough cleaning.  You also should make sure your car seats are properly installed as well.

Spices:  A lot of us have been shocked to find out exactly how short the shelf life can be.  Some spices are seldom used and may have been in your cupboards for years.  Declutter coach Deb Cabral says ts say many spices lose their flavor in as little as 2 years.
