As June rolls into Cary, NC, the season of sunshine and ice tea is upon us, and so is the undeniable urge to declutter and deep clean. Yes, it’s time to shake off the pollen from our porches and dust bunnies from our dens. But fear not, Cary house cleaning enthusiasts, for I have compiled a list of tips to help you tackle summer cleaning with the zest of a lemonade stand on a hot day.
Let’s kick things off with your windows. They say eyes are the windows to the soul, but in Cary, the windows are the eyes to your sparkling clean home. Start by mixing equal parts vinegar and water in a spray bottle. If the scent makes you feel like you’re at a fish and chips joint, fear not! Add a dash of essential oil, and voila, you’ve got a streak-free shine that smells like a meadow. And for those hard-to-reach corners, consider calling in a Cary maid service. They’re like the superheroes of tidying, minus the capes (though I can’t confirm they don’t wear capes when off duty).
Next, it’s time to give your floors some tender loving care. Whether they’re covered with hardwood, carpet, or a weird mix of both thanks to your last DIY adventure gone wrong, it’s crucial to clean them thoroughly. For hardwood floors, a gentle mop with some mild soap will do the trick. Carpets, on the other hand, may require a deep clean. If you’re attempting it yourself, remember to avoid turning your living room into a foam party. Trust me, it’s not as fun as it sounds.
Finally, let’s not forget the fridge. Empty it out, and if you find anything that looks like it might be sentient, proceed with caution. Wipe down the shelves with a baking soda solution to keep it smelling fresh, and organize your groceries. Remember, expired items are not collectors’ items!
So, dear Cary residents, as you embark on your summer cleaning quest, remember: cleaning is a marathon, not a sprint. Whether you go it alone or enlist the help of a professional, make sure to schedule a cleaning that leaves your home as fresh as a Carolina summer breeze.
