5 Tips for Spring Cleaning & a Windex Touch-Up Giveaway

Spring cleaning is like instinct. Here are my 5 Spring Cleaning Tips. With warm weather just around the corner, I find myself tackling all kinds of cleaning activities as the prospect of spring just motivates me!

  • Purge! Purge! Purge! Less is always more and donating items from our closets and cabinets make it easier for me to manage everyday cleaning since my home is more organized.
  1. Wipe Down Time. Keep it simple. Don’t worry about wiping down EVERY hidden surface. Instead go for wiping down those high traffic drawers like your cutlery drawer and top drawers or cabinets in your master bathroom and powder room.
  2. Spot Clean. Grab your Windex® Touch-Up and a paper towel and hit all those light switches, doorknobs and high traffic cabinets – like the pantry closet door – to remove fingerprints, smudges and grime.
  3. Wipe down window sills. Get rid of all that dust that accumulates all winter long. Spring is a great time to clean those areas that only need “occasional cleaning
  4. Let in fresh air. Open those windows and freshen up your home. Hopefully those winter germs will fly away and the scent of spring will take their place.

  2. I bought Windex touch up for my kitchen since I use Windex mutl purpose everyday to wipe off the counter. I totally love the new Windex touch up, it is so easy to use, works great and can do one handed! I bought the bathroom formula recently and love that for quick sink and counter wipe offs from toothpaste, etc. This is a super great product!!! It makes cleaning so much easier and quicker.

  3. Love Windex. I need this because I have dirty windows (and that my teens use our downstairs bathroom to brush their teeth on occasion.) I need an easy way for them to wipe the mirror after themselves.

    Great giveaway!
