Make Your Life Easier: Tips For Spring Cleaning Fans And Lighting

By Deb Cabral | Especially for Observer-Dispatchhttps: //presto.gannettdigital.com/

The spring cleaning series continues with fans and lighting.

If possible, remove the balloons so they can soak in the sink or bucket. Any accessories that cannot be removed can be washed with a cloth dampened with the cleaning solution.

TIP: A non-toxic light cleaning solution can be used to soak the lights or applied with a damp cloth. It's also great to use in a vaporizer.

• 1 2/3 cup of baking soda

• ½ cup of liquid soap

• ½ water

• 2 tablespoons. White wine vinegar

Use a soft green scrubbing sponge to remove stubborn dirt from crevices. Most of the dirt can be easily removed with the cleaning solution, sponge or cloth.

Replace non-working lamps and clean the base of the lamp.

For ceiling fans, use a paper towel to remove large amounts of dust before cleaning them with a damp cloth . After removing the topmost layer of dust, use a cleaning solution and a damp cloth to properly clean the fan blades. You shouldn't have to dry them out once your cloth has been wrung out well.

TIP: Now is a good time to check the lightbulbs in your oven, refrigerator, and cabinets to make sure they are working.
