We have all heard the phrase, “Cleanliness is next to Godliness”.  This is statement is never more true than when you are selling your home. 

While none of us like to clean, it doesn’t have to be a terrible experience.  First of all, living in a clean home is a joy for the entire family.  And, cleaning is instantly gratifying because you can see the effects of your hardwork and accomplishments immediately.

Troubleshooting Cleaning Tips:

1. To clean almost any stain in the bathtub (ceramic, plastic, etc) make a paste using cream of tartar and hydrogen peroxide.  Use a toothbrush or scrubbing pad to rub the mixture into the stain.  Then, rinse thoroughly.  Presto, stain is gone.

2. To clean a microwave, add a few tablespoons of baking soda to a paper cup filled with water.   Nuke for about 30 seconds or until the mixture explodes.  Then, use a paper towel to wipe out the inside.  The explosion spreads the contents over the entire microwave, so no scratching or scrubbing is necessary.   

 To get in a cleaning “mood”, I always turn on  some fun, upbeat music before I start.  In no time at all, I have forgotten about the drudgery and find myself dancing through the house, singing outloud.    I encourage you to give cleaning an honest try.  In the end, you will feel good about yourself and you will relish in your spotlessly clean home!!
