Believe it or not, spring IS coming – sooner than you think! Imagine – in just a couple of months we’ll all be throwing open the windows, shaking out the rugs and giving the whole house a breath of fresh air. Now’s the time to take stock of spring cleaning supplies and add some new ones to your arsenal.

1. The Right Brush Makes It Easy

Difficult cleaning jobs require just the right tool to make the job quick, easy and effective. Hard-to-reach places? Tight spaces? This spring, really clean your ceiling fans, dryer vents, refrigerator coils and small items like teakettles, baby bottles and sink drains. We have a brush for every job.

For dusting electronics and collectibles, we recommend natural lamb’s wool and ostrich feather dusters. Both contain thousands of soft fibers that act as a magnet for dust but won’t scratch your valuables.

2. Don’t Forget the Walls

It’s amazing how much grime and dust get trapped on wall surfaces, especially if you have a wood stove or oil-burning furnace. Our Amish-Made Wall Mop scrubs walls clean with a gentle, super-absorbent microfiber head. With its extendable handle, it reaches up to 8′ high and around furniture easily. Very popular in Amish homes, we love it so much we use it in our homes, too!

3. Solve Those Laundry Dilemmas
