Livonia, Michigan, March 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — It's that time of year to open the windows and refresh your wardrobe. As people begin spring cleaning, Prism Specialties, a leader in residential and industrial restoration projects, is offering essential services for homeowners looking to freshen up hard-to-clean appliances and items in the kitchen. We are drawing the curtain on a new cleaning strategy. , living room, laundry room.
Cleaning your home during the transition from winter to spring is essential to prevent common allergens, improve indoor air quality, and eliminate deadly fire hazards. From deep-cleaning your kitchen to cleaning your rugs regularly, spring cleaning involves more than just opening the windows and wiping down surfaces.
As experts in a wide range of electronic, textile, art, and document restoration services, Prism Specialties has compiled a Spring Cleaning To-Do List to help prevent damage and protect your home this renewal season. .
- refresh the washing machine: Mold can grow in both drum and top washing machines, especially around the door seal, detergent dispenser and drain pipe. This not only affects your clothes, but also the lifespan of your washing machine, which can be a hefty investment. This season, it is essential to clean your machine regularly to bring a fresh scent to your clothes and home.
- Before spraying the interior with vinegar, run a cycle on high heat with nothing on the interior.
- Always wear hand and eye protection when spraying or wiping surfaces.
- Clean the dryer vent: In addition to the lint trap, lint buildup in the dryer vent can create a serious fire hazard in your home. Regularly checking your dryer and clothes for burn marks is a must, but be sure to audit the overall condition of your machine every 12 months.
- Clean the vents on the back of the machine to increase efficiency, eliminate burning odors, and minimize the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.
- Check your water filter and ice maker. Water filters only have a lifespan of about 6 months and will need to be replaced. If you don't change your water filter often enough, bacteria, chemicals, and particles will start to build up in your water and ice maker and can make you sick.
- As temperatures rise, you may end up adding a lot of ice to your drinks, so be sure to wipe down the ice cube tray before adding ice.
- At the beginning of a new season, be sure to replace your water filter with fresh, clean water.
- scrape from oven: Winter can be a busy season for large gatherings and meals, and winter feasts can wreak havoc in the oven. Spring is the perfect time to clean your oven, so make sure it's ready for your next feast.
- Use baking soda paste to target residue buildup and scrape crumbs from oven floors, walls, and doors.
- Do not use oven cleaning spray anywhere other than inside the oven, as the chemicals in the spray can damage cabinets, appliances, and countertops.
- Do not use the self-cleaning feature on your oven as it reaches high temperatures and is a burn hazard for pets and children.
- Light your grill safely: Leftover crumbs and residue can harbor germs and bacteria, giving food cooked on the grill a strange flavor.
- Remove the grill and soak it in vinegar. Remove debris using a scraper or wire brush.
- Light the grill for about 20 minutes before use.
- Replace the air filter. Replacing your HVAC filter helps remove contaminants such as pet hair, dust, and pollen. If left unattended for too long, your air filters will become clogged, causing your home's heating and cooling system to work overtime to provide fresh air.
- After powering off the unit, remove the current air filter.
- When installing a new filter, follow the instructions regarding the direction of air flow.
- remove dust from artwork: Dust buildup on art can cause permanent discoloration and stains.
- Regularly wipe the surface with a clean, soft brush or microfiber cloth to prevent dust build-up.
- Wipe or wash blinds and curtains: Blinds are very helpful in reducing the temperature, but over time they can accumulate dust and allergens.
- Curtains and drapes should be washed once a year, whether by hand, in a washing machine, or by a professional cleaning service.
- For blinds, use a microfiber duster to pick up any dry debris and scrub the surface with a solution of dish soap and water.
- Let your rug breathe: Rugs, being the most trafficked items in your home, need to be treated with a little extra care, especially if dust mites or fleas may be present.
- Invest in a rug shampoo designed for the material of your rug. Scrub the rug, then hang it on a fence or railing to dry.
