The renowned ‘Queen of Clean,’ Lynsey Crombie, has recently shared her insights on how to spruce up your home this autumn with eco-friendly products and simple cleaning hacks to make your living space sparkle. Lynsey, known for her effective cleaning tips, aims to inspire individuals to use environmentally conscious cleaning solutions to transform their cleaning routines this season. As the temperatures drop and autumn approaches, her budget-friendly advice comes at the perfect time to help keep homes tidy and cosy.
One of Lynsey’s recommendations is to utilise a handheld steam cleaner or a hair dryer to eliminate trapped dust behind radiators. Placing newspaper or an old towel on the floor to catch the dust and debris ensures not only a cleaner home but also helps the radiator heat the room more efficiently, thus reducing energy bills. She also advises ditching harsh floor cleaners in favour of a steam cleaner to tackle dirt and grime on hard floors effectively while killing bacteria and giving floors a brilliant shine.
For those looking to freshen up their lightbulbs, Lynsey suggests dusting them with a recycled makeup or paint brush to remove any accumulated dust that may have settled over the summer months when lamps were used less frequently. This simple tip can instantly brighten up rooms. Additionally, Lynsey recommends flipping or turning your mattress and spot cleaning stains with white shaving foam as a non-toxic and inexpensive solution. Adding a mattress protector and switching to a warmer duvet can further enhance the comfort of your bed.
When it comes to refreshing a headboard, Lynsey advises using a solution of warm soapy water and a microfibre cloth to clean it thoroughly. For an all-purpose cleaning spray, she suggests creating your own citrus spray using leftover lemon and orange peels soaked in a mixture of water and white vinegar with a few drops of cinnamon essential oil for a delightful autumnal scent. To infuse your home with a seasonal aroma, Lynsey recommends simmering a pot of water with cinnamon sticks, orange peel, and cloves to create a fragrant air freshener.
