There are certain things that we all need to do to maintain a cleaner home.\u00a0 We put together a list of must do chores.\u00a0 Some need to be done daily, others annually and finally, others can be completed on an as needed basis.\u00a0 See our tips below:<\/p>\n

If you have a small bathroom, use the \u201cone-in, one-out\u201d rule to keep it clutter-free. For example, every time you buy a new item, make sure to throw an old one out. Always make sure to finish a product before buying a new one.<\/span><\/p>\n

Spring is the perfect time to tackle this annual job.\u00a0 The best time to do it is when you are ready to either take out your patio furniture or uncover it.\u00a0 To clean most outdoor furniture, simply add a squirt of liquid dish detergent to warm water, then wipe down the furniture including the table top.\u00a0 Once you finish, spray down the furniture with your garden hose, and let it dry.\u00a0 Always check the manufacturers instructions for your furniture to make sure that you are cleaning the furniture properly<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Decluttering<\/a> your bathroom is one thing. It\u2019s a task that won\u2019t take too long and one that you can carry out independently. But, when it comes to more difficult problems to fix in our bathrooms, many of us procrastinate. Let\u2019s take something as simple as a leaky tap, for example. The majority of us will ignore a dripping faucet for months on end. Sure, it\u2019s irritating, but we don\u2019t know how to fix it and can\u2019t be bothered to learn how. This is big a mistake to make though! Problems like this rarely resolve themselves and, more often than not, they\u2019ll simply worsen until you find yourself with a tap that won\u2019t stop running, an overflowing sink and water damage to your bathroom space. Avoid this at all costs. Call a plumber as soon as possible and they will be able to resolve the probably quickly before the damage becomes more costly.\u00a0 If you live in the Ottawa area for example, use <\/span>Mr Rooter Plumbing of Ottawa<\/span><\/a> \u00a0or check online for recommendations in your own city. <\/span>This will prove cheaper in the long run and less hassle than putting things off!<\/span><\/p>\n

Disinfect Your Cutting Boards<\/b><\/h3>\n

We regularly wash our wooden cutting boards by rinsing them with warm water and soap. Once it is used for cutting meat, poultry, or raw fish, however, you need a stronger, antibacterial cleaner. You can make your own disinfectant cleaner by mixing baking soda and water until you get a thick paste, which you will then use to scrub the board. Wait 15 minutes before rinsing, and sprinkle with salt. Finally, once the cutting board has completely dried, use a brush to remove the salt and it is ready to use again.<\/span><\/p>\n
