" There are only 14 days until the first day of spring, and you know what that means: it&amp;#039;s time to break out the dust rags and mop for the annual deep-clean. We understand how overwhelming it can feel to face all the dust and clutter that&amp;#039;s accumulated over the cooped-up winter months. That&amp;#039;s why we&amp;#039;ve broken down a complete spring cleaning routine into more manageable daily tasks\u2014one for each day leading up to the first day of spring. Follow our chore-a-day series for a stress-free way to a cleaner abode. By March 20, all you&amp;#039;ll have left to do is enjoy the look and feel of your sparkling home.   Washing windows can seem like a laborious chore, but with the right tips, tools and techniques, the task can be accomplished in record time:   1. Clean inside and outside of windows. Remember that commercial window cleaners can harm the paint or varnish of ledges, so take care not to let the solution drip off the glass. Use crumpled newspaper as your rag for a streak-free finish.   2. Clean corners and remove cobwebs. Use a soft toothbrush or cotton swab to access those hard-to-reach corners.   3. Clean sill and dust ledges. For sills (on the inside of the window), make the surface shine with either soap and water or a surface cleaning product. For ledges (on the outside), be sure to use a soft, dry rag to remove dirt, as a wet cleaner may damage the wood.   4. Dust blinds. Use cotton gloves, paper towels or dryer sheets and run them lightly across slats; open, close and repeat to remove any residual dust. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
