Cleaning your home room by room is a great way to tackle spring cleaning with ease. This method allows you to focus on one area at a time, making it feel less overwhelming. Here’s a guide to help you get started:

  1. Kitchen: Start by decluttering the countertops and pantry and tossing any expired or unwanted items. Clean the appliances, including the refrigerator, oven, and dishwasher. Don’t forget to wipe down the cabinets and sweep and mop the floor.
  2. Bathroom: Tackle the shower, tub, and toilet using a cleaning solution and scrub brush to remove any built-up grime. Wipe down the sink and countertops, and clean the mirror. Mop or sweep the floor, and replace any dirty towels.
  3. Bedroom: Begin by decluttering your closet, getting rid of clothes that no longer fit or are out of style. Vacuum or sweep the floor, dust the furniture, and wash the bed linens. Don’t forget to clean the windows and blinds.
  4. Living room: Dust the bookshelves, TV, and other electronics. Vacuum the carpets and upholstery, and sweep or mop the floor. Declutter the coffee table and other surfaces, and wash any throw pillows or blankets.
  5. Office: Declutter your desk, filing any important papers and tossing any unnecessary items. Dust the computer and other electronics, and clean the windows. Vacuum or sweep the floor, and organize your supplies.

By following this room-by-room approach, you can break down the spring cleaning process into manageable tasks and make your home feel fresh and clean. And, of course, don’t forget to reward yourself with a well-deserved break after each room is done!

Tips On How To Properly Wash and Clean Wool Blankets

As more households opt for eco-friendly fabrics, such as wool. It’s essential to know how to appropriately care for this soft and cozy material to keep it in great condition. So, what is the best way to wash and care for wool to ensure it lasts a lifetime? While wool is naturally long-lasting, durable, and difficult to stain, the correct care is more demanding than it is for other fabrics. When properly taken care of, wool blankets can be enjoyed for a long time and even passed down to future generations. The good news is that wool blankets do not need to be washed very often. Actually, according to some manufacturers, it’s best to wash them once every three months

Woolen blankets and throws used to be common items in homes back in the day. Although manmade fibers replaced wool in many cases as they are machine washable, wool throws and blankets serve as an element of design in households today. 

Ready to wash your favorite wool blanket for the first time but not sure where to start? Learn how to properly wash and clean your woolen possessions with these simple steps.

Wool Washing Tips

So, where do do you start? Before you take your favorite wool blanket and chuck it in the washer, it’s important to note that there are other cleaning and refreshing steps you can (and should) take into consideration. Remember that washing wool frequently can often damage and shorten its lifespan, so it’s best to wash them once every three months. 

Freshen Up Your Wool Throw Without Washing

What if your blanket doesn’t need a wash yet? No problem! Refresh your woolen throw outside by hanging them in a place with great air circulation. This will ensure your blanket is free of any lingering dust or dirt and is the easiest way to freshen up your wool. 

When Shaking It Out Isn’t Enough

In the perfect world, shaking it out and letting it get some airflow would be enough. But we know better than anyone that some things (including washing wool) are simply inevitable. 

You will need the following items:
1. De-pilling wool comb
2. Wool brush
3. Gentle wool-safe soap
4. Distilled white vinegar

Step 1 – Brush Wool Blankets

After letting your blanket air out, lay it out on a flat surface and brush along the grain of the blanket’s surface. This step will remove surface stains and smooth the blanket, ensuring that the wool fibers are lying in the same direction.

Step 2 – Remove Stains

Although wool is typically repellent to liquids, if not cleaned right away, these liquids can seep deep into the fibers of your wool blanket. If you have any stains you want to get rid of, now is the time! You’ll need vinegar and water solution for this. One part vinegar and two parts water will do the trick. Simply soak the stains with this solution and watch them disappear by blot drying with a clean cloth or rag.

Step 3 – Wool Blanket Still Needs A Wash? Read This

If the above steps did not do the trick, it’s critical to follow the washing instructions for your specific blanket. Carefully read the tag or research the manufacturer’s care instructions to achieve the optimal result. Remember only to use wool-safe soap with cold water, and wash using the gentle wool cycle on your washing machine.

Step 4 – Time To Dry Your Wool Blanket

Don’t put it in the dryer! This can destroy your wool blankets completely. The best way to dry your clean wool blanket is to hang it outside or in a place with good airflow. It’s essential to hang wool away from direct sunlight to avoid the coarseness and fading of the fabric. Once the blanket is dry, put it back in its original spot or store it in an airtight container inside your closet to prevent moths from infesting.

Wool Washing 101

As you can see, washing wool blankets and throws are not necessarily a walk in the park. The longer you can keep your wool clean and fresh, the better off you’ll be. 

Are you in need of more washing? We’ve got you covered! Anthony’s Laundry is a safe, clean, and friendly laundromat that cares for its community and provides the supplies and tools needed to get your laundry done! Take a look at our website or stop by our laundromat to see exactly what we’re about!

Tips On What to Keep & What to Donate

We get it, you’ve bought and accumulated many pieces of clothing over the years, and it’s time to make room and create order in your life once again. A great way to not feel guilty about tossing your old band t-shirts and boyfriend jeans goodbye are by donating them! Believe it or not, donating old clothes is terrific for the environment. Did you know that 20 billion tons of clothes end up in landfills each year? Even worse, these items create greenhouse gases while breaking down, further negatively impacting our environment. By donating your clothes, you are helping people in need and keeping tons of clothing out of landfills! If having a positive impact on the environment isn’t your top priority, we’ve got something you for! One of the significant reasons to consider cleaning out your closet is to enjoy a stress-free life. The majority of people feel overwhelmed and unhappy with cluttered and disorganized closets. That’s why removing the clothes you no longer need can benefit your mental health. 

It’s a new year! Let us help you start it off right. We have tips on going through your closet and drawers and what to keep and donate!

Tips on Going Through Your Closet & Drawers

It’s time to get rid of the clutter for good! You’ve decided to get it done so you can enjoy the rest of the new year with an organized closet and drawers. While many people might choose to keep this off until spring cleaning, making donation piles doesn’t have to be an unnerving project. We’ve gathered some tips and tricks below to make your life as easy as possible.

Our step-by-step guide to a happier you:

  1. Schedule a time.
  2. Put all your clothes into a big pile and go through each piece by asking yourself a series of questions.
    • Do I love it? Do I wear it? Does it fit? Is it comfortable, and does it portray the image I want to project? Be honest when answering these questions, and think of how much joy these items bring you. A good rule of thumb is if you haven’t worn the item in the past 12 months, get rid of it!
  3. Start a donation and a keep pile, then go through your keep pile again. 
  4. Toss what you don’t need.
    • This includes items that are torn, worn out, or have broken zippers.

How often should you do a closet cleanout?

Cleaning out your closet once per year will keep the buildup of new clothes at bay. However, the timeline is entirely up to you. Monthly, bi-annually or even once every few years will make a tremendous difference. Once your closet and drawers are organized in their designated place, keeping them clean will be easier as you move through your daily life. 

Items you should consider keeping:

  • Items with sentimental value – you may regret throwing out your lettermen’s jacket.
  • Clothing items with high monetary value.
  • Winter blankets, bedding, and comforters.
  • Holiday-themed clothing that’s still in good condition.

It’s Time to Wear Your Favorite Clothes

So, you’ve done the dirty work and got your donation pile ready. Now it’s time to wear the clothes you’re proud of and feel comfortable in! At the end of the day, what you decide to keep, donate or toss is personal and up to you. And if worst comes to worst, you can always rent a small storage unit for your sentimental and high-value items.

What better way to wear your favorite clothes than by cleaning them first? At Anthony’s Laundry, we offer professional & self-serve laundry services to serve you throughout 2023. We’re open to supporting your family during this time, and our team is working around the clock to ensure our facility is clean, sanitized, and safe for you to visit.
