4 Spring Cleaning Tricks You'll Love

As the weather warms up it can only mean one thing: it's spring cleaning time! The changing season marks the perfect time to refresh your home just like you do your wardrobe.

There are plenty of places around the house that could use a little TLC, but few of us want to spend a long time cleaning. That's where these easy spring cleaning hacks come into play. Whether you're tidying up the kitchen or finally tackling those blinds, these four cleaning tips can save you a lot of effort.

Use Lemons to Remove Water Stains 

When looking to remove water stains from bathroom fixtures, look no further than your fridge! The lemon isn't just a great garnish, it can also be a pretty powerful cleaner. Scrubbing the surface of water-stained fixtures with half a lemon can be one way to remove those tough stains. Best of all, no harsh chemicals needed!

Put a Lazy Susan in Your Fridge

When's the last time you looked at the items all the way in the back of your fridge? If that question makes you cringe, consider putting a Lazy Susan in your fridge. Now you can access all your ingredients with a spin. When you can see everything in your fridge you can stop having nightmares about what expired food might be lurking all the way in the back.

Easily Clean Vertical Blinds

Just wrap the socks (or any other fabric) around the tongs and you'll have created the perfect blind-cleaning contraption. Now you can get in those hard-to-reach spaces between the blinds with ease!
