- To remove smells from the walls, or in general, pour white vinegar into small tubs and leave them around the apartment for a few hours.
- Soda water and salt can remove almost any stains, as long as you catch the stains right away. Pour liberally, and leave on stain for an hour. I learned this from Curb Your Enthusiasm.
- Remember to dust blinds, corners, walls, and anywhere else you might find dust or spiderwebs.
- In the bathroom, I clean the sink and fixtures, the mirror, then the bathtub, then the toilet, then wash the floors. The toilet should be cleaned from top to bottom, handle and everything.
- Ovens can be cleaned using industrial strength oven cleaner, or just some vim and elbow grease.
- Wipe counters right after preparing meals. It’s a quick way to prevent scrubbing later!
- Be careful cleaning wood floors…water can warp the floors if you’re not careful.
- Clean mirrors and windows from time to time, and you’ll really notice the difference!
- Sweep, then mop.
- I am not great at cleaning. I only do some of these things some of the time. I’m not too dirty, but I can be messy; especially when I’m busy. It’s easy to say something, much harder to do it with any kind of regularity.
