1. Rug Doctor® Offers Spring Cleaning Tips for the Busy
Consumer
PLANO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--If you have been delaying the dreaded 'spring cleaning' ritual at
your
home this year, it's not too late to knock out your cleaning to-do list
before summer hits, and the experts at Rug Doctor, (http://rugdoctor.com/)
the manufacturer of the most convenient do-it-yourself hot water
extraction carpet cleaning machines and products, have a list of tips to
help get you started.
Lauren McCann, spokesperson and rental brand manager for Rug Doctor,
understands how difficult it is to make time for spring cleaning and
crafted a checklist to help those with even the most hectic schedules.
"Rug Doctor knows the hardest part is getting organized and then getting
started," said McCann. "It's never easy to find time for spring cleaning
chores amidst working, running errands and everything else that keeps
you busy, but once you figure out your method, the process will be much
easier and more efficient."
Not sure where to begin? Check out this list of tips from Rug Doctor to
help you figure out a process that works for your busy schedule:
Prioritize Your Checklist: After making a complete list of what
needs to be done, figure out what can you accomplish each day. Having
a list prepared will help keep you on track. If you have two hours to
straighten up one day and 20 minutes the next, don't get discouraged
or feel defeated - you're still making progress.
Organize, Organize, Organize: Along with de-cluttering items
you don't use, remember this is the perfect opportunity to organize

2. the things you are tidying up - especially when it comes to the 'black
holes' in your home like closets or underneath beds. Ask yourself: "Do
I use this item? Do I need this item?" If the answer is "no" to both,
donate the item(s) to charity - which is always tax deductible if you
keep a list of the items you donate. Try organizing throughout the
year to reduce the amount of de-cluttering that accompanies spring
cleaning.
Stock Your Supplies: Take an inventory of your cleaning
supplies and do some shopping to stock up on all the items you need to
have on hand. While you make your shopping list, think about all the
various surfaces in your house and needed products for fabrics,
furniture, countertops, glass and tile, as well as the tools you need
to do the scrubbing, such as paper towels, sponges and brushes.
Family Fun: Make the most of spring cleaning by not exhausting
yourself in the process. Cleaning the entire house can be difficult
and take a long time if you're trying to do it on your own. Get your
family involved in the process by assigning people to different rooms
or particular tasks.
Deep Clean Carpets: You can deep clean the carpet in a room in
as little as 20 minutes, so don't forget to work it into your spring
cleaning schedule. Carpet that appears clean can hide as much as a
pound of dirt per square yard, and while spring cleaning is a popular
time to deep clean carpet, it's important to create a regular
deep-cleaning schedule throughout the year when your carpet is hugely
impacted. These times include allergy seasons and around the holidays,
which is the busiest time to deep-clean according to Rug Doctor.
