It eliminates the need for a step ladder while also reducing strain and effort.\n\n\n\n</p><p>\n\n\n\n</p><div class='\"wp-block-image\"'><figure class='\"aligncenter' size-large><img decoding='\"async\"' width='\"1024\"' height='\"1024\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/12%5C/71NHIczqqCL-1024x1024.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-26969\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/justmetalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/71NHIczqqCL-1024x1024.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n\n\n\n<h2 class='\"wp-block-heading\"'>Put Your Shower Curtain in the Washing Machine\n\n\n\n</h2><p>No more scrubbing down a mildewy shower curtain liner with bleach. Save yourself the effort by simply throwing it in the washing machine on the gentle cycle. Add in a few towels, and it will come out free of soap scum and mold, with almost no effort from you.\n\n\n\n</p><div class='\"wp-block-image\"'><figure class='\"aligncenter' size-full><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' width='\"550\"' height='\"390\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/12%5C/cleaning-7.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-26972\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/justmetalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/cleaning-7.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\n\n\n</p><h2 class='\"wp-block-heading\"'>Dust the Ceiling Fan with a Pillowcase\n\n\n\n</h2><p>Cleaning the blades of a ceiling fan is a yucky job, but it has to be done. Do it fast, and keep the dust and grime controlled by using a pillowcase as the cleaning rag and the dust bin at once. Slide the case over each blade in turn. When you pull it back, all the dust and debris will fall into the pillowcase, instead of on the floor.\n\n\n\n</p><div class='\"wp-block-image\"'><figure class='\"aligncenter' size-full><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' width='\"600\"' height='\"400\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/12%5C/fan2.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-26970\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/justmetalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/fan2.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n\n\n\n<h2 class='\"wp-block-heading\"'>Vacuum Blinds and Pleated Shades\n\n\n\n</h2><p>The tedious work of cleaning dusty blinds and pleated shades cuts into time that could be spent on other chores. Instead of cleaning them by hand, save on time by employing the long bristle attachment on your vacuum to suck up dust and dirt quickly.\n\n\n\n</p><p>\n\n\n\n</p><div class='\"wp-block-image\"'><figure class='\"aligncenter' size-full><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' width='\"550\"' height='\"390\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/12%5C/cleaning-6.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-26971\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/justmetalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/cleaning-6.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n\n\n\n<h2 class='\"wp-block-heading\"'>Drop Denture Tablets in the Toilet\n\n\n\n</h2><p>For deep anti-bacterial cleaning that requires absolutely no elbow grease, drop a couple of denture tablets into the toilet bowl and walk away.

Soap residue, food scraps, and buildup can all clog your appliance over time, reducing its performance. You may restore its cleaning power by giving it a good wash\u2014but don&rsquo;t make a big deal out of it. Put a dishwasher-safe cup of vinegar on the top rack and wash it on the hottest water setting. Your dishwasher will be spotless when you return.\n\n\n\n</p><div class='\"wp-block-image\"'><figure class='\"aligncenter' size-full><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' width='\"768\"' height='\"768\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/10%5C/vinegar.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-19697\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/justmetalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/vinegar.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n\n\n\n<h2 class='\"wp-block-heading\"'>Give Your Oven Racks a Bath\n\n\n\n</h2><p>Soaking baking dishes is a great way to remove grease and grime without lifting a finger. The same goes for your oven racks. Give them an overnight soak in the bathtub, after first laying a towel down to protect your enamel from scratches. Lay your oven racks on top, fill the tub with the hottest water you can, and swish in some laundry detergent. Call it a night, and then go to bed. When you wake up, the grease will have dissolved, and all you need to do is rinse and dry.\n\n\n\n</p><h2 class='\"wp-block-heading\"'>Run Your Shower Head Through the Dishwasher\n\n\n\n</h2><p>Showerheads that have collected a nasty assortment of mineral deposits and mildew should be cleaned, both for freshness and function. If yours is detachable, run it through the dishwasher in the top rack. Same goes for drain plugs that have gotten gunky. Just be sure to remove any hair that might be tangled in them first.\n\n\n\n</p><p>\n\n\n\n</p><div class='\"wp-block-image\"'><figure class='\"aligncenter' size-full><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' width='\"550\"' height='\"390\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/12%5C/cleaning-13.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-27560\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/justmetalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/cleaning-13.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n\n\n\n<h2 class='\"wp-block-heading\"'>Apply Canned Air to Your Keyboard\n\n\n\n</h2><p>The computer keyboard might not be the first thing you think to spring clean, but it really does need it\u2014and probably more than once a year. Rather than breaking out a toothbrush to clean between keys, get a can of compressed air, and blow out the dust and dirt. It\u2019ll take about 30 seconds, and you\u2019ll be amazed by how many crumbs fly out.\n\n\n\n</p><div class='\"wp-block-image\"'><figure class='\"aligncenter' size-full><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' width='\"550\"' height='\"390\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/12%5C/cleaning-15.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-27561\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/justmetalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/cleaning-15.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n\n\n\n<p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"</p><p>Spring cleaning is upon us.
