Eureka® Provides Tips for Stress-Free Spring Cleaning
Charlotte, N.C. (PRWEB) April 25, 2016 -- Spring is here, but before consumers can enjoy the warmth and sunshine, it’s time to clean away the accumulated mess from winter months. According to the American Cleaning Institute, more than 70 percent of Americans engage in spring cleaning.* Eureka® offers tips and tools to dispense with the cleaning quickly, so homeowners can get back to their busy lives.
“Spring marks the start of new beginnings. For many households, that means purging and doing a really deep clean as we transition to warmer weather,” said Jillian Hillard, Director of Brand Marketing for Eureka. “Eureka understands what needs to get done and how to do it, so that consumers can spend more time on the things they want to do – not need to do.”
Tips for a Quicker Clean
Recruit a Cleaning Crew – Spring cleaning should be a “whole house” task, so get the whole family involved. Extra hands will help projects get completed faster and teach children about the rules of cleanliness. Even little mess-makers can help with age-appropriate jobs such as picking up toys or sorting laundry by color, so create a chore chart to help keep everyone on task and ensure chores are completed in a timely fashion.
Bust the Dust, Dirt and Grime – Wood furniture, like coffee tables and dressers, attract a lot of dust. Start by cleaning wood with an oil or polish to remove dust and bring its luster back. While dusting, don’t forget to look up. Dust hides on fan blades, ceiling moldings and lampshades, often escaping the novice spring cleaner’s eye.
Mission Multitask – Multi-purpose cleaning tools allow for quick and easy movement from room to room, saving time and space. Look for all-purpose cleaners or 2-in-1 products that allow for a lighter load, while still achieving a complete clean. Vacuums with attachments for upholstery or countertops, as well as multi-surface cleaners and paper towels strong enough to wipe off mirrors, sinks and walls, will keep consumers from running in between rooms for tools.
Floor Your Floor – After months of tracking in snow, mud and salt, make hard floors shine with a non-abrasive floor cleaner that kills germs without harming the floor’s surface. Don’t forget to use knee-pads or a few old towels for protection from the hard floor. To remove ground-in dirt from rugs, simply flip them over and vacuum both sides. Because carpet can hold up to 10 times its weight in dirt, at least two passes over carpeted surfaces will help remove deeper dirt that regular maintenance may leave behind. For this task, use an upright vacuum with strong suction power and at least a 12-amp motor to ensure even deep-down dirt and dust are captured.
