    How to Clean

    by Heather on February 26, 2007

    Dear Home-Ec 101,

    My house is a wreck. I’m scared to open the fridge, I swear something growled at me the last time I grabbed a soda. I think a dust bunny ate the baby.

    Help Me!

    Signed,

    Don’t Know Where to Start.

    Heather Says:

    I begin with the kitchen sink, it’s a small area and it can be conquered!

    Empty your sink of all dishes, fill it with hot water and a little bleach.

    Come back and read for a few minutes or empty the dishwasher, if you’d prefer.

    After the hot water has had time to loosen the crud, drain the sink, and use a non-abrasive cleaner to scrub it. Don’t be afraid to use a little elbow grease! Now, if you have a sink like mine, you may have to use a mild abrasive like Bar Keeper’s Friend, or in a pinch, baking soda.

    Finish by shining the faucet with a little window cleaner and wipe with a paper towel or soft cloth.

    It’s a lot easier to face the day when you don’t have to shovel dishes out the way to brew a pot of coffee.

    Clean Kitchen Sink

    Now go find that baby!

    I don't know what's wrong with me lately. I want a sparkling home, that's what I love but lately I just don't have the energy to do anything. In my head I clean and organize but when I get up to do it I just can't. I just don't know what to do. I can't hire it done for there is no extra money. thanks for the articles.
