IT has never been easier to put some spring in your cleaning step thanks to some seasonal tips for getting your home in order.
You can now give your space some shine with free tricks from a housekeeping service that spills the beans on how to clean up spills.
The professional service Luxury Cleaning NY shares its biggest tips while reminding you to stay "happy" while spiffing up your home.
They want to help make your microwave sparkle with just two easy steps starting with adding a mix of baking soda and water to your oven.
All you have to do is wait until it boils.
Not only will you eliminate odor, but it is much easier to get rid of hard-to-get-off dirt that sticks to the walls.
Another pro-tip - you can also use lemon juice instead of soda.
They also advise waiting for a "cloudy day" to wash your windows.
It's even better if you clean them from the dark side of your home.
That's because "sunlight can dry detergents" earlier than expected, leaving spots and stains.
When it comes to dusting, however, this advice can be disregarded completely.
Waiting for a sunny day will only help you to more easily spot unwanted dust.
They also advise starting from the highest points before coming down to the floor.
This is so that the dust does not have the chance to accumulate on the newly cleaned services.
It's also okay to love your pets but not their hair all over your home, especially on upholstered furniture.
Your best bet is to wear wet rubber gloves and start picking up whatever hairs your pooch has left behind.
Shiny stainless steel surfaces are also about to become your new reality if you mix one teaspoon of dishwashing liquid and a quarter cup of hot water.
After wiping everything down, rinse with clean, warm water, and then quickly wipe off the remaining water.
Keeping your carpet dent-free is now easier than ever as well. All you need is a steam iron.
Simply direct the steam flow to dents and repeat this technique a few times.

They also suggest placing pieces of ice on those areas and waiting for them to melt.
Once that happens you just "comb" the rug in the right direction while the water will help return the fabric to its original shape.
