Spring Household Chores

Even though we dread it every year, there are some special duties that need to be done each season. We ignore them for most of the fall and winter, but when spring comes around it's time to get to work and bring things back to life!  Even though some of these chores only need to be done once or twice a year, they will help your home run look better and run smoothly. These chores can be a bit daunting but once you get started you will be glad you did!

Storing out of season clothing 

 

When warmer spring weather arrives, it's time to pack away sweaters, coats, and other cold weather clothing.  Making sure that the storage containers and areas follow the rules of clean, cool, dark, and dry will keep clothing in good shape for next winter.

 

 

Check Appliances

 

 

 Each spring take the time to inspect your major appliances for wear and tear. The coils of the refrigerator sould be vacuumed, and the drain pan should be cleaned out. Lint needs to be cleaned from the dryer vents.  Clean dishwashers, disposals, oven, refrigerator and washing machines. Your heating and cooling units need maintenance and your Jiffy Steamer should be cleaned as well.

 

 Cleaning Windows

 

Bring your Jiffy Steamer outside and use it on the windows! It will break up dirt & grime in no time. Just use a microfiber towel on the windows after you steam.

How To Clean Your Jiffy Steamer

 

Need directions on cleaning your Jiffy Steamer?

 

The cleaning procedure below is recommended as a regular maintenance measure to help your steamer maintain its maximum steaming performance. This maintenance should be performed on a basis of every 3–6 months depending on your water supply. In most cases, a steamer that is severely clogged will require disassembly to properly clean and prolong the life span of the unit. An authorized repair center or a Jiffy Steamer service technician best performs this disassembly. The directions are below for each Jiffy Steamer Model, using the Jiffy Liquid Cleaner.



CLEANING YOUR ESTEAM

Pour 4 ounces of water in the ESTEAM.

Plug in the unit and bring to full steam.

Unplug the unit and allow to cool for 2 minutes, pour out all water.

 Pour in 5 ounces (1/2 bottle) of Jiffy® Steamer Liquid Cleaner, leave the cleaner in the unit for 2 hours. DO NOT STEAM THE UNIT WITH THE LIQUID CLEANER.

Pour out Liquid Cleaner and flush with fresh water and rinse 2-3 times.

brass coupling using a wrench and remove water bottle from unit. Pour out any

remaining water.

Laundry Room Inspiration

Laundry Room Inspiration

Have you been in the mood to remodel or just freshen up your laundry/utility room lately?   I know a lot of us have dim lit, small spaces that we dread entering for fear of seeing spilled laundry detergent all over the place or a dust bunny roll out of the corner.  It's a room where we want to clean our clothing among other belongings but we also want to be inspired to keep the actual laundry room clean and fresh too!

Below are several photos of bright and cheerful work spaces that might give you inspiration on doing laundry, sewing on a button or steaming that suit! 

 

Beautiful bright colors in the room below make it much easier to get your laundry finished!

 

 

Classic navy stripes and fun pops of orange are fitting for the whole family! 

 

Dark colors and white cabinets with a touch of lime are also pleasing to the eye!  It's helps to have lots of windows in the room in this case!

 

 

And finally, there is always the more modern laundry room!  Simplicity is GREAT!

 

College Must-Haves!

If you’ve got kids heading to college this fall, you’re probably knee-deep in lists of what they need. The bottom line is, they need a lot. Mainly you want them to look good when they head off to class, so they need a steamer to keep those clothes looking great!

  

1. An Esteam Travel Steamer will be one of the best gifts you can give your student for a fresh start to the school year!  It's easy to store and heats up in no time!

2.  Underbed storage is a necessity.  Living in such cramped quarters can be difficult especially if you have stuff lying around everywhere!

3. Make your new dorm bed as comfy as home by bringing along a mattress pad. This extra bit of cushion will ensure you hours of quality sleep. Just be sure you have an alarm clock handy; you may not want to get out of bed!

4. Having a mini-fridge in your room can be a great thing! Forget late night trips to the vending machine for a cold drink, having breakfast in bed (milk for cereal), and being able to keep fresh fruit or veggies on hand for snacks.

5. A Pop-up Foldable Hamper is a staple for any student going off to college. This space saving laundry hamper folds down to the size of a plate when not is use and pops up to a full sized mesh laundry basket when you're ready to fill it up. Keep this residence hall laundry room. 

Freshen Your "Faux" Flowers!

Do you have a silk flower arrangement sitting in the back of the closet or in the bottom of your cedar chest that you would love to bring out and use this summer? You’ve gotten it out and dusted the once cheerful flowers off but they still look a little gloomy.  A wrinkled and smashed flower arrangement isn’t exactly what you wanted setting in the middle of your breakfast table. 

If your faux flowers need a little freshening try using your Jiffy Steamer!  Adding a little Jiffy steam to your flowers will breathe new life into them.  Allow the flowers to absorb the steam for a minute or so.  Once the steam has released the petals, shape if needed and lay on a flat surface to dry. Don’t waste your money by throwing them away and purchasing a new arrangement!  Simply steam them. ;)
