Spring has arrived in Temple, and there’s no better time to breathe new life into your home. Whether you’re settling into a cozy apartment or managing a busy rental household, a little seasonal cleaning can go a long way in creating a brighter, healthier living space. The best part? These cleaning tips are quick, affordable, and renter-friendly.
Microwave Makeover
Is your microwave looking a little worse for wear? Try this natural refresh: fill a microwave-safe bowl with water and a few slices of lemon, then heat it on high for three minutes. Let it sit with the door closed for another two minutes—the steam will soften any food splatters, and the lemon acts as a natural deodorizer. Just wipe it down with a soft cloth or paper towel and enjoy the shine.
Ceiling Fan Dusting Trick
If your fan has been gathering dust all winter, it’s time to give it a quick clean before the warm weather kicks in. A simple pillowcase can make the task mess-free: slide it over each blade, gently wipe, and pull the dust inside. This prevents debris from falling onto your floors or furniture.
Freshen Up Your Mattress
When was the last time you cleaned your mattress? Over time, they can collect dust, allergens, and even odors. A quick way to freshen it up is by sprinkling baking soda evenly across the surface. Let it sit for about 15 minutes to absorb odors, then vacuum thoroughly using your upholstery attachment. For an added bonus, flip or rotate the mattress to extend its life.
Remove Pet Hair with Ease
We love our pets, but the hair they leave behind? Not so much. An easy hack: put on a rubber glove, lightly dampen it with water, and run it across your furniture and fabrics. The static helps attract pet hair, which clings right to the glove. Rinse and repeat as needed!
Whether you tackle one room at a time or spend a weekend giving your entire home a glow-up, spring cleaning is a great way to reset your space and your mindset. A clean, organized home can boost your mood, reduce stress, and make day-to-day living feel just a little easier.
