A recent spring cleaning survey by The Soap and Detergent Association, named the top reasons for the ritual seasonal cleaning as

1. Removing clutter.
2. Thoroughly cleaning the house.
3. Getting rid of allergens.

60% of the 1,008 Americans surveyed said that they perform spring cleaning regularly. Out of those who do, 65% will take a week to clean.

For all those spring cleaners out there or for those new to spring cleaning, here are some spring cleaning tips to help you reach your house cleaning goals.

Make a Spring Cleaning Checklist

For some, spring cleaning can be a daunting task. Start by creating a list of the rooms that need cleaning and write down what tasks need to be done in each room.

Get the Cleaning Products you Need

List the type of cleaning products that you will need for each task, and if you will need to buy those cleaning supplies, or if you already have them. You can save money and buy in bulk online. Trash bags, Windex, and Paper Towels can all be found at discount prices at CleaningProductsWorld.com.

Prioritize your Cleaning

Clean a room from the top down. Start with curtains and windows. That way, you will only have to clean the dust and dirt that may get stirred up onto the floors and carpets once.

Get Rid of Clutter

When you declutter your home, you will notice that you will have more space and save time trying to find things! Some find it helpful to set a reward for completing this task. Sort through items, designating piles to throw away, donate to charity, or keep.

Once you have completed your spring cleaning, celebrate your clean home!

From our family to yours – Happy Holidays!

With Thanksgiving only three weeks away and the flu season in full force, you may want to reconsider how you usually serve, cater, or eat at holiday events.  We are more susceptible at the holidays than any other time of the year to spread harmful viruses and bacteria since we are generally indoors in large crowds, we tend to eat/drink more at the holidays while sleeping less (reducing the effectiveness of our immune systems), and we travel more, increasing the chance of bringing more germs back home with us.

While I know many of us already take extra care to reduce the spread of germs at our gatherings, keeping our families and friends as healthy as possible, coupled with the added risk this year thanks to the H1N1 virus, these extra precautions may be necessary and are worth the extra effort for our safety.

Individual serving sizes are essential
Think about how many double dippers there are in your family – do you (or your guests) really want to be dipping into the same vegetable dip as these culprits?  Whenever it is possible, put your offerings up as individual servings. For example, if you are serving any type of dip, try placing it into paper or plastic soufflé cups first. That way, Uncle Frank can double dip as much as he wants, without putting the other guests at risks. Serving a fruit & cheese platter? Place toothpicks into ever piece of cheese & fruit, that way, no will be tempted to use their fingers.

Hold a drink in your right hand
Its no secret that the more hands you shake, the more germs you are spreading. Since it’s not always possible to pull out your instant hand sanitizer after shaking someone’s hand, another blogger recently suggested always carry a drink (Water is always a good choice) in your right hand. This way, you won’t offend someone by not shaking his or her hand, while your hands will stay germ free.

Little reminders go a long way
We all know good hygiene practices, but sometimes we (especially our children) need a little extra reminder of good table manners. At any non-black tie affair, it would not be inappropriate to include a line in your toast or speech reminding everyone to please use caution while self-serving so everyone stays healthy during the holidays. If you are afraid you might offend some guests, simple place friendly reminders about the flu epidemic on tent cards on the buffet or throughout your home (Don’t place them on the dinner table though – no one wants to look at flu reminders while they are eating).

I hope these hints help make your holidays more enjoyable for you and your loved ones. From the CleaningProductsWorld.com family to yours, we wish you a happy, healthy, safe, and enjoyable holiday season.

With flu season sweeping the country and 21 states already reporting widespread flu activity, one of our biggest concerns continues to be catching the dreaded H1N1 (swine flu) virus.  But while everyone fears catching H1N1, how can you tell if you have actually have come down with a case of H1N1, seasonal flu, or just a simple cold?

Cold  Symptoms
-    Illness Time: 3-5 days
-    Patient exhibits: Common symptoms including  runny nose, nasal congestion, coughing, minor body pains

H1N1/Seasonal Flu Symptoms
-    Illness Time: Varies
-    Patient exhibits: Fever, more painful body aches, dry cough, diarrhea, severe fatigue
-    The seasonal flu & the H1N1 are respiratory illnesses, so symptoms can appear similar.  It is difficult to tell without testing which strand of flu is causing the illness.

In any case, always remember to keep in contact with your doctor when you are experiencing cold or flu-like symptoms.  The CDC recommends practicing good hand hygiene (washing hands with antibacterial hand soap and water or using an alcohol based hand sanitizer) as one of the most effective ways to reduce your chances of becoming ill this flu and cold season.
