Spring is soon to arrive! And what better way to celebrate the new season than a little spring cleaning. Here are a few tips from Black Hills Family to get started on your organization spree.
Keep it Clean
- Wash Legos in a laundry net
- Pick up sequins with painters tape
- Glitter? Use a lint roller!
- Stick cars to a magnetic strip
- Use rubbing alcohol to remove markers off walls
DIY Cleaner
Remove dried food particles from the microwave without scrubbing!
Place two lemon halves and a half of a cup of water in the microwave, then heat it for 5 minutes. When the time is up, wait 15 minutes with the microwave door shut. Times up! Open the door; wipe it out with a dry cloth, and voila! No more baked on food.
