Deep Cleaning Your Kitchen

 

Refrigerator- Take out all of your food and wipe down all drawers and shelves inside. Throw your old food before you replace the rest. Pull the whole appliance out and wipe down the outside and top.

 

Countertops- Wipe off all countertops and walls with an all-purpose cleaner. Rearrange any appliance left on top.

 

Garbage disposal- Use a baking soda and vinegar combination to clean your garbage disposal. Then, use a disinfectant to clean out the sink.

 

Stove and Oven- Take off the burner grates and caps and soak them in a warm water, baking soda, and vinegar mixture for 20 minutes. Wipe down the top of the stove while they soak. Use your oven’s self-cleaner if you can. If you don’t have a self-cleaning oven, spray oven cleaner on the inside of the walls and then wipe them down.

 

Microwave- Wash the inside tray with soap and water. Use hot, soapy water to wipe out the inside of the microwave.

Toaster- Clean out all of the crumbs from the trays and racks. Then, wipe the outside down with dish soap and vinegar.

 

Cabinets and drawers- Empty out all of your cabinets and drawers. Wipe out the inside with hot water and dish soap.

 

Floors- Move everything that you can out of the way and then sweep and mop your floors.

 

Deep Cleaning Your Living Room

 

Curtains and drapes- Take down any curtains and drapes and put them in the washing machine. Wipe down blinds with equal parts vinegar and water. Wood blinds should be wiped down with a microfiber cloth and cleaned with warm water only.

 

Carpets and rugs- Vacuum all carpets thoroughly and run rugs through your washing machine. For tough areas, rent a steam cleaner from your local home improvement store.

FAQ:

Q: Do flea “bombs” or foggers really work?

A: Since flea eggs are tiny and usually fall into the fibers in the carpet, this is actually an important step for these foggers to work properly. So do flea bombs work? Yes , they are fairly effective for killing fleas but due to the toxins they release, I recommend only using them when the flea situation is very bad.

Q: Do mold bomb foggers work?

A: In addition, regular mold bomb foggers work great for killing spores that appear in your car, RV, and window sills. And besides eradicating the spores, they also aid in killing the bacteria and viruses that may come with mold.

Q: Are bug foggers safe?

A: The insecticides in foggers, or bug bombs, are not just dangerous to creepy, crawly pests, but can also cause serious illness and even death in humans. For this reason, it’s vital to follow all safety precautions when using a fogger, including protecting your clothing from exposure to the chemicals. Cover and Clean.
