How to Keep Your House Clean with a New Baby

1.Be organized. (Ideally, work on this before delivery or adopting the baby!)You don't have lots of time to pick up additional clutter or rummage for misplaced items. Have a place for everything. Have any members of your family pick up after themselves

2 Prioritize. Baby's health and safety is first, your sanity and well-being is second, vital household tasks like food preparation and having toilet paper third, and everything else much less important.

3 Do tasks in a chunk. It may be more effective to spend one whole Saturday evening doing laundry rather than two loads every day. Or go to a laundromat and get all the laundry done at once.

4 Put away one thing every time you get up. Although this seems like a paltry amount, making sure things go back in place on a regular basis can make a big difference.

5 Multi-task. While talking on the phone, unload the dishwasher or wipe a counter top. While watching TV, you can fold laundry, chop broccoli, or vacuum during a commercial break.
When cooking or washing dishes for a prolonged period of time, place the baby in a car seat and put the car seat somewhere on the kitchen floor out of danger, for example a corner. This enables them to see you (and vice versa) and relaxes them because they know you're still close to them.

6 Take advantage of time-savers. Get take-out. Buy baby food rather than trying to make everything yourself. Use paper plates when entertaining.

7 Simplify when possible. Don't buy clothes that require ironing, for instance.

8 Get help. Ask a friend or relative to babysit so you can clean. Even an hour can help.

9 Use a baby carrier to bring Baby along. Wearing your baby frees your hands and may actually enable you to not only start, but actually--gasp!--complete a task. Your baby might just want company, and be fine with you folding laundry, washing dishes or using automatic mop on the floor as long as he or she is near you.

10 Involve baby in chores. Cover Baby with warm clean clothes, play peek-a-boo while you fold towels, dance with him while dusting, have her watch the microwave turntable as you defrost peas. As you unload the dishwasher, hand him a plastic dish to wave around.

Bathroom Cleaning Tips And Tricks

1.Banish Grime and Soap Scum
Forget about purchased 'miracle' products. Instead, stir 3 tablespoons baking soda and 1/2 cup household ammonia into 2 cups warm water. Once you've wiped the solution on and rinsed it off with a sponge or rag, bathroom surfaces will gleam.

2.Toilet Cleaning Made Easy
Cleaning a toilet ranks somewhere around zero on the Pleasant Cleaning Tasks scale, but you have no choice but to tackle it. Here are a few ways to make the job easier and pocket the cost of specialty cleansers.
- Antacid Tablets: Drop 2 antacid tablets or 1 denture tablet containing baking soda into the bowl, let them dissolve for about 20 minutes, then scrub the bowl with a toilet brush. A vitamin C tablet will do the trick as well.
- Mouthwash: Grab a bottle of mouthwash from the medicine cabinet and pour ¼ cup into the bowl. After about half an hour, scrub the bowl with a toilet brush and flush.
- Cola: Empty a can of cola into the bowl and let sit for 30–60 minutes before scrubbing and flushing.

3.Get Spotless Bathroom Tiles
The grouting between bathroom tiles is a magnet for dirt and germs and it's easy to miss these hard-to-reach crevices during regular cleaning. It also looks awful so every so often:
- Make a paste of 1 part borax, 2 parts baking soda and 1–2 parts water and scrub it onto the grout with a toothbrush.
- Rub away grime with a new pencil eraser, that's well suited to reaching these narrow spaces.
- Scrub with a mouthwash containing a tooth-whitening agent.
- Soak a cotton wool ball in household bleach and set it on a spot of badly stained worktop grout for a few hours; for walls, attach the cotton ball with gaffer tape.

4.Lemony Toilet Cleaner
Make a paste of 2–3 parts borax and 1 part lemon juice (stir the juice in gradually until you have the right consistency) and apply it to a stained toilet bowl, rim included. Let it sit for 1 1/2–2 hours and then scrub it off with a toilet brush. This treatment is especially effective for getting rid of the ring that often appears at water level on the toilet bowl.

5.Solve Stubborn Scum and Water Spots
Many surfaces in the bathroom – including ceramic tiles around sinks and tubs, and glass fibre and acrylic shower units – can become dulled by water spots and built-up scum just as easily as tubs and sinks. Tackle these heavily soiled surfaces with vigour and ...
- 2 cups salt dissolved in 4 litres hot water.
- ½ cup vinegar, 1 cup ammonia and ¼ cup baking soda in 4 litres warm water. Apply one of the solutions, let sit for about 15 minutes, then scrub off and rinse.

6.Brush Away Rust Stains
To get rid of hard-water rust stains on commodes, tubs, and sinks, just squeeze a little toothpaste onto an old toothbrush and scrub away. Or scrub the stain with a paste of borax and lemon juice or a solution of equal parts turpentine and salt. Whichever method you choose, attack rust stains right away. The sooner you deal with them, the easier they are to remove.

7.Keep Showerheads Unclogged
If you live in an area with very hard water, you'll have noticed how mineral deposits can block showerheads. Don't need to buy a new one – use denture tablets or vinegar to unclog it.
- If you can remove the showerhead, dissolve 4–5 denture tablets in a bowl of water and put the head in to soak. Or let it soak overnight in white vinegar. (For extra cleaning action, heat the vinegar in the microwave first.)
- If the showerhead isn't removable, pour the denture tablet solution or vinegar into a plastic bag, tape or tie the bag to the fixture so the showerhead is completely immersed and leave the bag in place for 1–2 hours. To make sure the showerhead is completely unblocked, clean out the holes with a needle, piece of wire or toothpick. Then wipe the head with a cloth dipped in vinegar.

8.Make Glass Shower Doors Sparkle
Glass shower doors are a convenient addition to any bathroom but can quickly cloud up with soap scum. For some heavy-duty cleaning, try:
- Shaving cream: Sq**rt on the foam and wipe clean with a dry rag; the foam will leave a film that keeps the door from fogging and makes it harder for scum to stick.
- White vinegar: Keep a spray bottle filled with vinegar and a sponge by (or in) the shower so you can make washing down the surfaces part of your post-shower routine.
- Baking soda-plus: Make a solution of 1/4 cup dishwashing-up liquid, 1/4 cup hydrogen peroxide and 1/4 cup baking soda. Then scrub it on the doors with a sponge. - Vegetable oil: Simply pour a little vegetable oil onto a sponge or paper towel and scrub the doors, adding more oil as you need it.
- Furniture polish: Use a cloth to rub polish directly on doors, then wipe it off with a clean cloth. The polish will not only clean but will protect against the future build-up of soap scum.

Tips for Cleaning Your Fridge Like a Pro

When cleaning a refrigerator, follow the simple advice and tips below to make the job easier. Keeping a refrigerator clean minimizes the potential for bacteria and mold to grow, as well as reduces power consumption as a clean refrigerator uses less energy to keep cool inside. Once mold starts to grow in a fridge, it can spread to food and make those who eat it ill.

It’s not just the food that can grow mold. Spills and drips can hide out of sight while providing the perfect location for mold and bacteria to grow. The following seven cleaning tips provide easy-to-follow guidance for fridge cleaning.

1. Clean Food and Drinks Out of the Refrigerator
Before attempting to clean a refrigerator, unplug the unit from the wall. You should then remove all the items within the refrigerator, including the freezer, checking them for freshness. If items are expired, throw them in the trash. Be especially observant for any mold, and if found, make sure that none of the other items in the fridge have been contaminated. Once all of the items have been removed from the fridge and checked, clean the fridge. Removing food and drink from the fridge makes it easier to clean.

2. Remove the Refrigerator Shelves and Drawers
Once everything is removed from the refrigerator and the freezer, remove all of the removable parts in the freezer and the refrigerator. This includes any shelving, drawers, and the pieces that keep the items on the shelves in the door. Shoppers can either put them in the sink to be washed later or on the counter. If there are any glass or ceramic pieces, allow them to warm up slowly, as getting them warm too quick once removing them from the refrigerator could cause them to break. Once the parts are removed and have reached room temperature, wash them using hot water and dish soap. After washing the parts, set them aside to air dry.

3. Cleaning the Freezer
Before wiping down the inside of the refrigerator, clean the freezer. Turn the setting to "defrost" or the minimum setting. Let the freezer defrost while washing the items from the interior of the refrigerator. Once the freezer has defrosted, take some of the cleaning solution listed above and wipe down the interior of the freezer using a clean cloth. For any tough stains, use a plastic nonabrasive scrubber.

4. Wipe the Inside and Outside of the Refrigerator
Using a cleaning solution, wet one of the clean rags, and, starting from the top of the interior of the refrigerator, clean the inside of the refrigerator. Make sure to clean from the top to the bottom of the refrigerator. When encountering tough stains, which will more than likely be at the bottom of the refrigerator, use a plastic, nonabrasive scrubber. Shoppers can soak the stain by laying a warm wet cloth on it for a few minutes to loosen it up. This should make the stain easier to remove. While washing the interior, rinse the cloth frequently to keep it clean, or use multiple cloths.

Once satisfied that the interior is clean, especially the bottom, the back, and the interior doors, clean the outside of the refrigerator. As on the inside, start at the top of the refrigerator and work downward, cleaning the top, both sides, and the front. While the outside of the refrigerator dries, use a dry cloth or paper towels to dry the inside of the refrigerator, including the inside of the doors. Also clean the rubber door gasket with the water and vinegar solution. Finally, dry the outside of the refrigerator and remove the drip pan (if the refrigerator has one) and clean it as well. On most models, the drip pan can be found by removing the front grill.

5. Reinstall the Refrigerator Shelves and Drawers
At this point, the refrigerator shelves, drawers, and other parts should be dry. Replace them in the refrigerator. Put any food or drink back into the refrigerator, wiping any dirty jars and containers down with a clean, dry cloth as you place them back into the refrigerator. This is also a good time to arrange the items within the refrigerator as you place them back inside.

6. Eliminating Odors in the Refrigerator
Cleaning a refrigerator is only part of the process. Clean up spills as they happen and go through the refrigerator on a weekly basis, disposing of food as it goes bad. Finally, place an open box of baking soda within the refrigerator to help fight any odd odors that pop up. Do not place any open containers inside a refrigerator; this helps keep refrigerators smelling fresher.

7. Finishing Touches
Clean the refrigerator coils every three to four months. Make sure the refrigerator is not plugged in to prevent burns from hot coils or electric shock. Use the brush attachment on a vacuum to clean exposed coils on refrigerators; use the narrow crevice attachment of a vacuum for refrigerators with a vent cover. Once finished, push the refrigerator back into place and plug it in.

Tips for Cleaning a Kitchen or Bathroom Sink

1. Scrub that dirty sink. You’d think that with all the soap and water that flow through sinks that they’d be perpetually clean—but that’s not so. Soap deposits, food stains, rust, and water spots will all build up if you don’t stay on top of them. How often you should scrub a sink depends on how much use it gets: Scrub a bathroom sink after about 30 uses. A good recipe for a clean sink is a sq**rt of dishwashing liquid added to a bowl of warm water. Dip a sponge in the mixture, and scrub gently. If you want to give the sink a more thorough scrub, try an all-purpose cleaning spray or a nonabrasive cleaner.

2. Make your porcelain sparkle. Here’s a trick that will bring back the gleam to a white porcelain enamel sink. Line the sink with paper towels and soak them with bleach. Let the towels sit for 30 minutes, then discard them, and rinse the sink with running water. Don’t use bleach on colored porcelain, however, as it may cause the color to fade. Use a mild liquid detergent, vinegar, or baking soda instead.

3. Protect sinks from scratches and stains. Replacing a kitchen sink makes no small impact on your wallet. Once you’ve got a shiny new one in place, there are many easy things you can do to keep it in like-new condition:

• Install a perforated plastic mat in the bottom of your sink. This will protect the sink’s surface from scratches and mars and will protect your dishes, too.
• Don’t let fruit, vinegar, salad dressing, or other acidic foods linger on the surface of a porcelain enamel sink. Long-term exposure to acids can cause staining and could etch the surface.
• Don’t use scouring powders to clean your sink. Instead, use the warm water and dish detergent formula we describe above.

4. Use baking soda to clean solid surfacing such as Corian. Sinks made of nonporous, acrylic-based solid surfacing are relatively stain-resistant and easy to clean. But they do need to be kept up. For routine cleaning, use soapy water or a solid-surface cleaner specially formulated for solid surfacing. Rub out stains with baking soda and water mixed to a toothpaste-like consistency. Apply the paste with a nonabrasive white scrubbing pad, and rinse thoroughly.

5. De-stain surfaces with lemon juice. We’ve got a sure remedy for stained sinks: Erase those spots with a paste made of one-half cup of powdered borax and the juice of one-half lemon. Dab a sponge in the mixture, rub, and rinse with running water—it’ll work like a charm whether your sink is made of porcelain enamel, stainless steel, or any other material.

6. Use vinegar on your lime. The white spots that you have so much trouble cleaning off the faucets are lime deposits from mineral-rich hard water. They’re very easy to remove with a secret ingredient that’s already in your pantry: vinegar. Soak a paper towel in vinegar, and wrap the towel around the spotted area. Wait 10 minutes and then buff with a dry paper towel. This works well on all fixtures except brass or colored fixtures; using vinegar on these surfaces may discolor them.

7. Rid rust with WD-40. Wipe WD-40 (lighter fluid works, too) on the spot with a cloth and then rinse thoroughly. For rust stains on porcelain enamel sinks, pour salt on half of a lemon and rub it on the stain.

8. Keep your drain free of clogs. Mix up 1 cup of baking soda with 1 cup of salt and 1/4 cup cream of tartar. Keep it in an airtight, childproof container. Every few weeks, pour 1/2 cup of the mixture down each drain, followed by a quart of boiling water. And of course, do your best to keep hair, soap, grease, food, and other debris out of your sink drains in the first place. Following these few steps should keep you clog-free!

Cleaning Up Garden: How To Prepare Your Garden For Winter

Fall garden cleanup can make spring gardening a treat instead of a chore. Garden clean up can also prevent pests, w**d seeds and diseases from overwintering and causing problems when temperatures warm. Cleaning out the garden for winter also allows you to spend more time on the fun aspects of gardening in spring and provides a clean slate for perennials and vegetables to grow.

Cleaning Out the Garden for Winter

One of the key aspects of fall cleanup is the removal of potentially problem pests and disease. When you rake up old leaves and debris, you are removing a hiding place for overwintering insects and pests. The old plant material left behind is a perfect refuge for diseases such as fungal spores, which can infect fresh new plants in spring. Garden clean up should also include maintenance of the compost pile and proper practices to prevent mold and seed bloom.

Empty and spread the compost pile to protect tender perennial plants and add a layer of nutrient and w**d prevention over the beds. Any compost that was not finished goes back into the pile along with the leaves and debris you raked up. Cleaning up garden vegetable beds will allow you to till in some of the compost and begin to amend them for spring.

The perennial garden can be raked, w**ded and cut back in most zones. Zones below United States Department of Agriculture 7 can leave the debris as protective cover for tender perennials. All other areas will benefit from fall clean up, both visually and as a time saver in spring. Cleaning up garden perennials allows you to catalogue your plants as you make plans for ordering and acquiring new items.

Cleaning Gardens Schedule

The novice gardener may wonder exactly when to do each project. It is common sense in most cases. As soon as vegetables stop producing, pull the plant. When a perennial fails to bloom anymore, cut it back. Garden clean up includes the weekly chores of raking, compost duties and w**ding.

When cleaning gardens don’t forget bulbs and tender plants. Any plant that will not survive winter in your zone needs to be dug up and transplanted. Then they are put in the basement or garage where they will not freeze. Bulbs that cannot overwinter are dug up, cut back the foliage, dry them for a few days and then place them in paper bags. Let them rest in a dry area until spring.

Pruning Practices When Cleaning Up the Garden

As everything else in the landscape gets tidy, it’s hard to resist shaping and pruning hedges, topiaries and other plants. This is not a good idea, as it will encourage the formation of new growth that is more sensitive to cooler temperatures. Wait until they are dormant or early spring for most evergreen and broad leaf evergreen plants. Do not cut spring flowering plants until after they have bloomed. Cleaning up garden plants with dead or broken plant material is done at any time of the year.

Quick Cleaning for Fans

Biggest Challenges

1. Grungy ceiling-fan blades
2. Dusty portable fans
3. Clogged air conditioner filters and vents

Tools You'll Use

Old tablecloth or sheet
Extendable duster and step stool
Microfiber cloth
Sudsy water or blow-dryer
Vacuum with dusting attachment
Replacement AC filters, if needed

Fastest Fixes

1. Clean ceiling-fan crud. To get rid of the grime that all ceiling fans seem to collect (created by dust clinging to greasy airborne particles), place an old fabric tablecloth or sheet underneath the fan; a shower cap to protect your hair from debris also isn't a bad idea. With an extendable duster, go over the tops and bottoms of the blades to capture loose dust. Or just grab a step stool, and dust with a dry microfiber cloth on both sides of blades. Shake out the cloth, lightly dampen it; wipe blades again, this time picking up any oily film. Give glass fixtures a pass with a clean section of cloth while you're up there.

2. Wash portable fans. When you need a cool breeze, the last thing you want is dust blowing back at you. Here's how to spruce up portable fans in a hurry: Unscrew or unclip the front grille and slide off the fan blades (nearly all fans, even old ones, can be taken apart this way). Immerse, then swish the blades in a sink filled with warm, sudsy water. Rinse and dry the blades before reinstalling them; clean the grille the same way. (If time's really an issue — or if the grille or blades aren't removable — take the fan outside by an electric outlet and blast it with cool air from your blow-dryer, front and back.) Wipe down the base and buttons with a damp cloth.

3. Freshen AC filters, save $$$. Clogged air conditioner filters and vents make these units work harder — and can inflate your electric bill. Most central AC units and some window-mounted ones will need a new filter each year (about $10 to $20). For window units with a washable filter (Not sure about yours? Check the manual or manufacturer's Website), remove the filter and rinse under a warm faucet until the water runs through clear. Let air-dry for a few hours before reinstalling. (For ACs that are always running, do this a few times during the summer.) If there's a musty smell when you first use it, mist the filter with an odor eliminator like Febreze Fabric Refresher and run the fan until the staleness dissipates. Lastly, with your vacuum's soft dusting brush, go over the grilles on window units or the central air's vents to nab dust and webs (use your vacuum's wand to reach high vents).

Make It Easier Next Time

Before storing portable fans, give them a dust-off with a cool blow-dryer to remove loose debris; cover with a plastic trash bag.
Buy an extra AC filter on sale at the end of the season to have ready for next year.
When buying new ceiling fans, look for those with removable blades for easy cleaning.

Cleaning Tips For Crusty Stove Tops

Surface (porcelain enamel):
Remove elements, rings and drip pans. Scrub surface with hot, soapy water then dry. Place paper towels over crusty spots and soak with household ammonia. Cover with plastic wrap to keep paper towels moist, and leave sit for several hours. Scrub again with hot, soapy water and crud should wipe away.

Generously sprinkle baking soda around the surface then spray hot water (boiling hot if possible) over it all–enough to dissolve baking soda without making it run all over. Let soak for about 30 minutes, then scrub.

Surface, Element Rings and Drip Pans:

Cover everything with paper towels then soak thoroughly with white household vinegar. Cover with plastic wrap then let sit for several hours. Remove the paper towels and start scrubbing, things should loosen up and wipe away easily.

Drip Pans:
Spray with oven cleaner, place in garbage bags, seal, then let sit over night. Remove them the next day, rinse, then scrub with hot, soapy water.

Drip Pans & Rings:
Take a large kettle, pot or roaster and fill with water. Bring to a boil. Add a cup of Cascade dishwasher detergent, stir until powder dissolves. Using tongs place the items in the pot of hot water. Boil for 5 to 10 minutes. Turn off heat, cover with lid and let sit overnight. In the morning remove the items then scrub in a sink full of hot, soapy water. The caked on crud should remove easily.
Spray with household ammonia, place in garbage bags, seal, then sit over night. Remove from bag the next day and scrub with hot, soapy water. You can also first cover the pans with paper towels, then saturate with ammonia. If it’s a hot, sunny day outside–let the sealed bag sit in the sun to add heat to the process.
Make a paste with cream of tartar and vinegar (50/50) and slather all over items. Let sit for about 10 minutes, then scrub.
Fill a large pot with water, bring to a boil. Add 1/2 cup baking soda, stir to dissolve. Drop in the items, cover then let sit over night. Scrub in hot, soapy water the next day. If crud is really bad and won’t loosen, try scrubbing with a scouring pad first dipped in household ammonia.
Caution: Do not spray the elements themselves with any solutions, just wipe with a hot, soapy cloth.
As always, first test a small area to make sure the method you use won’t cause any damage

A study room is an important place for students. So, it is important that the Vastu for study room is applied properly. Some important tips are:

The room you choose for study should be

In the east, north or the North-East direction of the house-this improves the absorbing power and increases the knowledge of content.

The door of the study room should also be in either of these directions.

A study room should not be below the toilet or under a beam.

Ensure that there is no reflection of mirrors on the books at the time of study. This may in turn increase the pressure of study on your kids.

Ensure that your child’s head is in the South direction to sustain the steadiness of the body and the earth.

Sunlight or natural light is a must while studying. Ensure that the shadow of the child who is studying is not falling on the books.

2. Vastu for Studying and Study Table

Some essential Vastu tips for students and their study table.

While studying, sit and learn in the East as it improves concentration.

Avoid using things that are obstacles for concentration like pillars, sharp pointed edges of furniture, open shelves etc.

Place the study table facing East or North to ensure that while studying the child is facing either of these directions.

Cleanliness is next to Godliness –make sure that the study table is neat and tidy. It should not be cluttered with too many books loaded on it.

Make sure that the study table is not against the wall.

Place a Saraswati Yantra near child's bedside or study table. This will improve positive energy in them.

Bookshelves should not be placed on the sides or above the study table.

3. Interiors for Study Room According to Vastu

The room in which your children study should be bright and well lit. If the room is dingy and dimly lit it may slow down your child's education.

According to Vastu for students there should be a study lamp. It energizes luck in education and improves focus and concentration on studies.

An open space in front is essential as it inspires new ideas and approaches in a child.

To give inspiration to the child to study, the picture of a galloping horse, a rising Sun or of the goddess of knowledge, Saraswati is helpful

You can even keep the certificates or display trophies etc. bagged by the child on the South wall.

Show exterior and interior doors some love with these simple cleaning tips.

Doors can be the most neglected part of our cleaning routine and may seem daunting to tackle. But with these simple instructions and ideas, you’ll be able to easily take care of all the doors in (and out of) your house.

Before You Start
Remember to take breaks when completing a large, rigorous cleaning task.
Wood doors may need a different cleaning solution than indoor, painted or glass doors.

Door Cleaning Tips
Start with the front, bedroom, closet and bathroom doors first before any other cleaning as they see the most use and often get dirtiest.

Dust doors first: Remove the surface dust before applying any type of cleaning solution. Jumping straight to wiping down a door will just spread the loose dirt and dust around, creating a bigger mess.

Paper towels work best: Use paper towels when it comes to wiping down door surfaces. Sponges and regular towels can hold tons of bacteria. Using a heavy-duty paper towel ensures that bacteria doesn’t transfer dirt and debris from one door to the next.

Front Door
Tackle the front door first because it’s probably the dirtiest. Start by dusting the door and getting rid of as much loose dust as possible. Use a mixture of gentle dish soap and water to scrub down the door, and then dry with a paper towel.

Tip : Take note of the door's paint/stain finish. If it’s a wood door with staining, use a furniture wax or polish to wipe down and give the door a beautiful, clean glow.

Tip : If you have a painted front door, make sure to use a diluted cleaning product that won't strip off the color.

Inside Doors
Dust and remove loose dirt and then get rid of any scuff marks caused by kids or animals. Next, use a diluted water and dish soap mixture to remove remaining dirt. Dry with paper towels.

Tip : Test a small area of the door first to ensure the finish won’t react with cleaning products.

Glass Doors

Dust and remove loose dirt, wipe down with a diluted water and dish soap mixture and dry with paper towels. Then, take a household glass cleaner and wipe down both sides of the door with paper towels.

Shower Doors
Use glass cleaning products or white vinegar to remove soap scum. A quick wipe down with cleaners usually does the trick. Finish with paper towels and glass cleaner for a nice shine.*

*Tip: Wipe down your shower door after each use to dry it off and limit soap scrum build up. A few seconds after each use will eliminate a longer cleaning process later.

Tip : Use an old toothbrush and dish soap to get in the nooks and remove grime.

Although you might not have noticed in your day-to-day activities, if you clean the doors in your house, it’ll make a good impression on anyone who happens by.
