Cleaning Tips

Quick and easy tips for keeping your apartment clean and passing Health and Safety inspections:

1. Use aluminum foil to line the stove-top burners.
2. Clean the inside of your oven with oven cleaner.
3. Use Soft Scrub for sinks, showers, and counter tops.
4. Use shower sprays after showering to maintain cleanliness and make the next cleaning easier.
5. Wash shower curtain in the washing machine and hang back up to dry, monthly, to avoid mildew.
6. Mop all of your tiled floors weekly.
7. Put away food, clean up food particles and take out your trash to avoid ant and rodent problems.
8. Sweep porches and keep clean from debris. Trash on porches and first floor containers attracts skunks and other rodents; place all your trash in the dumpsters.
9. Bring a toilet plunger.
