Article: Clothes lying around on the floor, bed, and hanging over chairs can make even a clean room look dirty. Collect clothes from around the room and sort them into a dirty and a clean pile. Place dirty clothes in the laundry hamper. Fold and put away clean clothes. When you're busy with work, school, and other things, it can be easy to let garbage pile up in your room. Go around the room with a garbage bag and pick up wrappers, food, old papers, and any other trash you find around the room. When you’ve collected all the garbage, empty your bedroom garbage bin into the bag and take the bag down to wait for collection day. Keeping plates, cups, and old food in your room can attract bugs, cause spills, and make your room messy. Collect anything that belongs in the kitchen and take it downstairs to the sink or dishwasher. Items to watch for include: Strip the comforter, sheets, and pillow cases from your bed. Throw all washable linens into the hamper and take the linens to the laundry room for washing. If you can do a load of laundry on your own, wash your linens in the washing machine using your regular cycle. Otherwise, leave the linens for an adult to wash. Grab a fresh set of linens for your bed, or wait until yours are washed and dried. Pull a fitted sheet over the mattress first, followed by the top sheet and any blankets you regularly use. Put the pillow cases back on the pillows next, then place the pillows on the bed. Lastly, pull the blanket, comforter, or duvet up and over the pillows.   Make your bed daily. You don't have to redo the fitted sheet and pillow cases, but you should redo the top sheet and blankets. Change out your bedding every couple of weeks. If it is very hot and you are sweating a lot, you may need to change your bedding more often. Bedroom desks are magnets for messes because that’s probably where you read, do your school work, and spend time on the computer. To tidy up your desk: Your night table is probably a dumping ground for anything you’re doing right before bed, like reading, listening to music, taking off accessories, and other stuff. Clean off your night table and put away anything that doesn’t belong there. To keep your room looking clean and neat, store common bedside items, like tablets and books, inside the drawers of your night table rather than on top of it. Keep the top of the night stand for some simple items, like a lamp or a single picture. Your dresser may also be a dumping ground for books, toys, accessories, jewelry and knick-knacks. Put jewelry back in a case or drawer, return books to the shelf, toss out garbage and junk that’s accumulated, put makeup back in the vanity or makeup case, and put accessories and other objects back where they belong.  Keep your dresser organized. Make sure that your clothes are neatly folded; don't just stuff them into the drawer. Every so often, it would be a good idea to completely clear out your dresser. Separate out the items you no longer use, and put everything else back into the drawers. Closets tend to be where you throw everything that you don’t want to deal with right away, and now it’s time to address all those things. Tidy up your shoes, hang up clothes, throw out junk, and organize the shelves. Use a duster or damp microfiber cloth to dust corners and wall joints, the ceiling fan, light fixtures, shelves, where the wall and ceiling meet, and all the furniture in your room. As you dust, pick up objects that are obstructing your work, such as a lamp on the dresser, and dust underneath them. Use a vacuum to suck up dirt and dust from a carpeted floor, or use a broom or vacuum to clean up a tiled or wood floor. Use special attachments on the vacuum to clean the corners where the floor and wall meet, the baseboards, and other cracks and crevices. Don’t forget to move furniture so that you can clean under and behind the bed, dresser, and desk. Spray the mirror with window cleaner, or with a solution of one part vinegar and three parts water. Use a clean microfiber cloth to wipe the mirror dry. Repeat with all the interior windows in the room and any dusty or dirty picture frames. Keep your window cleaner handy so that you can clean your mirror as needed or whenever it gets dirty. This is especially useful if you have nosy pets or kids.

Article: Both baking soda and dish soap help grease dissolve in water. Combining both ingredients creates a non-toxic cleaning solution that quickly and effectively breaks down tough grease build-up. Adding the baking soda slowly, to cool water, will prevent it from fizzing up over the top of your pot. The hot water will help loosen the grease, allowing the cleaning solution to fully penetrate into the filter. Remove the water from the heat as soon as it starts to boil; too much agitation will create bubbles from the dish soap, which can spill over onto your stove. You can use this cleaning solution to remove grease from the exhaust hood and fan blades inside your unit. Extra solution can also be used to easily clean your stove-top and oven. Pour the solution slowly to prevent backsplash. Keep adding solution until the grease filter is completely submerged. Keep  any extra solution warm, in case an additional soak is needed for a filter with particularly serious grease  build-up.  You can soak the filter in the same pot you heated the solution, as long as it is not a non-stick pot. The metal filter will scratch non-stick coating. Most pots are not big enough to completely cover a typical grease filter, so you may need to do half of the filter at a time in order to get the entire filter clean. As the filter soaks, the baking soda and dish soap will slowly dissolve the grease. The dirtier the filter, the longer you should let it soak. If you have not cleaned your filter in years, you may need to let it soak for up to an hour. Use a non-abrasive sponge or soft bristled  brush to scrub away any remaining grease. The grease should come away easily. Avoid scrubbing aggressively to minimize the risk of damaging your filter. If some of the grease is stuck on the filter, repeat the soaking process with clean solution. Wash away as much grease and residue as possible. Grease will collect faster on areas of the filter that are still dirty. Starting with a perfectly clean filter will slow down future build-up. You do not want any moisture on your filter when you re-install it. Air-drying, instead of using a cloth or blow drying, will prevent the filter from being damaged. The filter should be completely dry after an hour or 2 of air-drying. The more you cook, the more often you should clean your grease filters. Regular cleaning will make your exhaust fan operate much more efficiently, and greatly decrease the health and safety risks that grease build-up presents.
