Scare Away Unwanted Germs and Dust

-- Those spooky cobwebs may go unnoticed for a while, but when you do spot them, do not be spooked -- they are easy to clean. For hard-to-reach corners, take a broom and secure a micro fiber cloth on the end using a rubber band. You will be able to reach the difficult spots and eliminate the webs, quickly.

-- Chilling basements are easily refreshed with ventilation and dehumidification. Open windows or use a large fan to circulate fresh air. If needed, use a dehumidifier to eliminate dampness.

-- Cleaned out your refrigerator lately? Last week's leftovers probably look like a ghoulish concoction. Go through the fridge and throw out any old, frightening food. Use a sponge and a solution of equal parts white distilled vinegar and water to clean up spills. Pull out and wash all shelving and drawers using a mild dish detergent in warm water. Wipe dry.

-- Face your fears and give your attic a makeover. Remove clutter by giving away or getting rid of any unwanted items, then organize what is left in boxes and label accordingly. Doing so will not only organize a nagging area, but may even frighten away any resident spiders!

-- If your garage gives you nightmares, start by sweeping and tackling dust and cobwebs with a wet/dry vacuum. Remove items and wipe shelving with a mixture of hot water and mild disinfectant. Be sure to discard items such as old paint or motor oil properly.

-- Cleaning windows can be a terrifying chore. To achieve professional results and scare away dirt and grime, use a solution of one drop of degreasing liquid dish soap per two gallons of warm water and a quality squeegee.

Now that your home is spook-free, you can turn your attention to the ghosts and goblins invading your neighborhood!
