A few Condescending Spring Cleaning Tips for Students

I know, I know- why clean when your lease is up in May or July? Why sweep when your parents did it when they visited at Christmas? You could just leave the whole thing for the next tenant, or the landlord to clean up.

But, it is also exam time- and I know there are only so many movies and YouTube clips you can watch. What to do to avoid that final paper? Clean!

* At no point should there be a brown discoloration in the bottom of your kitchen sink. Although it is stainless steel, grime will accumulate on it. A little elbow grease and some Comet will clear that right up.

* Yes, you should clean on top of the fridge. Unless you plan on growing grass up there.

* Unlike your counter top, your stove does not have a "pattern" on it. That's grease- please clean it.

* Even though furniture doesn't move much, the dust bunnies under there are plotting to kill you in your sleep. Move the furniture aside and sweep under it.

* A quarter inch of ice wine, left uncorked for two months, is an excellent incubator for fruit flies, even in February. Rinse your bottles and recycle them.


Wow- this was way funnier in my head before I wrote it down...
