“You dont need to be scrubbing them every day, but a monthly wipe-down can work.”

Another way is to use the Baseboard Buddy which has a contoured head perfect for any moldings."

“Dust can really mess with the light output, making a room feel dim and gloomy.

But unlike high-touch surfaces, lamp shades arent subject to frequent contact or dirt.

A lint roller can work, too, especially on fabric lampshades.

If you want it to repel dust and static cling, use a dryer sheet.

For pleated lamp shades, gently brush in the direction of the pleats to avoid damage.

And once dry, fluff with your hands to restore shape and volume.”

“But as for the rubber seals, its best to wipe them down every after use.

Now, to make deep cleaning easy, I highly recommend the cleaning tablets from Affresh.

Either you have a top or front load washer, pop one, and run a normal cleaning cycle.

The one from OxiClean works excellent, too, but remove any clothes first!”

Plus, it’s easy to clean the ceiling fans.
