1. Cleaning Your Ceiling Fan

Take an old pillowcase and spray the inside with dusting spray*. Cover a fan blade with the pillowcase, press down on the top of the case, and slide it off the blade. This will take off all the dirt and dust on both the top and the bottom of the fan quickly!

*If you don’t have dusting spray, you can easily make your own by mixing 1 cup of water, 1/4 cup of vinegar, 2 tsp of olive oil, and some essential oils if you’d like.

After stripping down your mattress, sprinkle some baking soda (as well as some lavender essential oil if you’d like), and let is sit for an hour or two. Then, use the furniture attachment part of the vacuum cleaner to clean up the baking soda. The baking soda works to soak up any body oils while the essential oils provide therapeutic effects for a good night’s sleep.
