• Stove exhaust filter: The grease
buildup that collects on the stove’s
exhaust filter can be a tough nut to
crack. In a sink basin, mix 8 ounces
of a concentrated multi-surface
cleaner and 1 gallon of hot water
and submerge the filter. Place the
filter in a sink or dishpan and pour
in concentrated cleaner to cover.
Allow the filter to soak for 30 min-
utes. Drain the dishpan and rinse
thoroughly with hot water.
• Floors: Give your floors a mop-
ping. Mix 4 ounces of cleaning solu-
tion with 1 gallon of warm water.
Apply with mop or sponge.
• Garbage cans and diaper pails:
Bags often leak nastiness into the
bottom of the garbage can, which
can easily be missed when quickly
replacing the bag. Turn your cleans-
er’s nozzle to spray and generously
cover the can. Wipe or brush any
areas that have any residue. Rinse
thoroughly with clean water.
• Showers, tubs and tile: Use your
cleaning agent at full strength and
generously spray surfaces directly.
Allow it to penetrate the soap scum
for up to two minutes. Do not allow
to dry. Wipe away with a coarse
sponge or cloth. Rinse thoroughly
with clean water.
• Toilets: Let’s face it. This isn’t
anyone’s favorite job but it has to
be done. Turn that nozzle to spray
and generously spray the outside of
the toilet. Wipe clean with a paper
towel, then give a quick rinse.
• Patio: For patios, outdoor furni-
ture, concrete, vinyl fences and sid-
ing, use the same cleaner outdoors:
simply spray, then wipe clean with
a cloth or sponge and rinse surfaces
with clean water. While you’re at
it, consider removing grease and
grime from tools, engine parts, tires,
sports gear and lawn equipment.
For efficiency, consider cleaning
solutions that don’t require pre-
cleaning, such as Mean Green Super
Strength Cleaner & Degreaser, the
strongest all-purpose cleaner avail-
able. More tips for getting your
spring to-dos completed can be

“Make spring cleaning simple and
effective by using smart strategies
on every surface of your home,” said
Devlin.
