Think of it as a spiritual spring-cleaning! You can use pomelo leaves, kaffir lime, sandalwood essence, or even a bit of smudging to cleanse the energy.

The more you toss now, the less you\u2019ll have to clean later on!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>And don\u2019t just toss everything in the bin <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 <\/span>donating is a great way to give your pre-loved items a second life. Clothes, toys, books, or even small appliances in working condition could make someone else\u2019s day. Check with local donation centers or charities to see what they accept. Plus, clearing out your space while helping others? Total win-win!<\/p>\n<h3><b>3 weeks away from CNY:<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clean your toilets and kitchen. If you\u2019re having trouble getting a stained toilet bowl clean, here\u2019s a tip: pour some Coke (yes, the very same Coke you&#8217;re thinking about) in and let it stew overnight, before scrubbing it. To get the inside of your oven clean, put in some orange rinds, and heat it for a minute before wiping it down. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve got those stubborn grease patches in your kitchen, spray a generous amount of all-purpose cleaner over them, cover the patch in cling wrap, and then blow-dry it for two minutes, using your hairdryer. Oil oxidises and breaks down at high temperatures, so it\u2019ll easy for you to wipe these grease patches down after a bit of help from your hair dryer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Bonus hack:<\/strong> Got cloudy glassware? Use a bit of white vinegar to make them sparkle again <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 <\/span>no fancy cleaners required.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-16237\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/spring-cleaning-cny.jpg\" alt=\"spring cleaning cny\" width=\"720\" height=\"492\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/spring-cleaning-cny.jpg 1239w, https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/spring-cleaning-cny-940x643.jpg 940w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><b>2 weeks away from CNY:<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clean your bedrooms and living room. Clean under your bed, and vacuum and flip your mattress over so that it wears out evenly. Dust and vacuum, and take down your curtains to wash. Finally, polish your wooden, marble, and lacquered surfaces. Don\u2019t bother running to the store to get furniture polish \u2013 a cloth wipe soaked in stale milk will easily restore luster to your wooden, marble, and lacquered surfaces.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Feeling ambitious? Consider steam-cleaning your carpets and sofas to get rid of any hidden grime and give your home that fresh, new feel.<\/p>\n<h3><b>1 week away from CNY:<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Change your sheets, and put up the final touches.
