How to Clean Home Storage Shelves

Home storage shelves can attract and accumulate dirt and dust on a regular basis. The dirt and dust allows fingerprints to show easily. People with allergies or asthma can also be affected by it. There is no need to buy commercial household cleaners to clean them. The shelves can be easily cleaned with cleaners you already have in the home.

Materials needed:

• Paper towels


• Water


• White vinegar


• Baking soda


• Bucket


• Clean cloths
  
  

1. Remove any items on the shelf so it can be thoroughly cleaned.

2. Wet a paper towel with cold tap water and wring it so it is damp.

3. Gently wipe the shelves off. This will get rid of the dust and loosen the dirt to make the rest of the cleaning easier.

4. Fill the bucket with a 1/2 gallon of warm water. Mix in a 1/2 cup of white vinegar and a 1/4 cup of baking soda. Mix the solution until it is well blended.

5. Dip a clean cloth into the solution and wring it until it is damp but not soaked with liquid.

6. Wipe over the storage shelves with the damp cloth.

7. Repeat Steps 5 through 6 until you are satisfied with the results of the cleaning.
