When was the last time you looked up at your ceiling fans? If it's been a while, you might be surprised at the amount of dust that has accumulated on the fan blade! Dusting the ceiling fan likely isn't part of your regular house cleaning, and it's tricky to do without making a mess of the dust. Here's a simple, effective way to clean the dust off a ceiling fan: Find a standard-sized pillow case. For an extra smart step in reducing your workload, clean the ceiling fans on the same day you wash linens, and just use a pillow case you're about to wash anyway. Slip the pillow case over the fan blade. Take care to do this kind of slowly as not to knock all of the dust off before the pillow case is in place. Wrap your hands around the open edge of the pillow case and wipe the fan blade as you pull it off. This traps the dust in the case and keeps it from getting everywhere. Repeat for every fan blade, but be careful not to knock the dust out as you go! Why this works Not only does the pillow case trap the dust, but the thin material is easily charged with static electricity; when you wipe the fan blade, it attracts the dust to the pillow case. Though many people probably aren't going to be looking up to appreciate your handywork, a dust-free ceiling fan keeps your air cleaner. You will also be able to amaze your friends with your clever cleaning trick! Remember, too, that if keeping your house clean is a strain on your time, work, or family, cleaning services might help you stay on top of things.

Cleaning windows can be done in two ways. Either you buy the expensive, branded, attractive window cleaners available in stores or make your own homemade easy green glass cleaner recipes from simple ingredients that you already have in your house. Homemade cleaners not only protect the environment but also are not toxic. The only thing they lack is the bright sparkling color and fancy packing. But they turn out to be very cheap and work out well and sometimes even better than the branded window cleaners.

Babies are highly susceptible to illness and infection, mainly because their immune systems are not yet fully developed. Therefore, it is vital to protect your baby from health hazards through measures such as proper cleaning of the baby bottle. Gather the Basic Cleaning Supplies Prepare basics such as hot water, a good brush for the bottles and nipples and dish washing liquid. A good bottle brush helps you to clean the sides and bottom of the bottle. You can also use a gentle nipple brush to clean the rubber nipple which can easily accumulate bacteria. The dish washing liquid should be a non toxic and gentle liquid that is specifically designed for baby bottles and does not leave any residue. Wash the Baby Bottle Right After Use Water, sugar and warmth provide the ideal conditions for germs to thrive. Therefore, it is advisable to wash the baby bottle right after use in order to prevent caking of the milk and the creation of a foul odor which is very difficult to get rid of, especially if you are using plastic bottles. Start off by pouring the leftover milk and rinse the bottles with hot water. Brush the baby bottle in and out using a gentle baby brush in order to avoid scraping off the plastic. Move the baby bottle brush along the edges in order to remove the filmy milk residue. Allow the Baby Bottles to Dry Thoroughly Rinse all the bottle parts in hot running water to remove the soapy residue and bubbles. Place all the parts on a drying rack and make sure they are left to drain and dry thoroughly in a well ventilated location. Bottles can grow fungus and mold if they remain damp for too long. Proper sanitation of baby feeding accessories is the best way to ensure that bottle feeding is as safe and germ free as breastfeeding.
