a. Utilize a hand vac to vacuum the mattress surface, eliminating dust, allergens, and debris. b. Sprinkle baking soda evenly across the
mattress to neutralize odors and absorb moisture.

2. Dishwasher: Ensure Sparkling Clean Dishes
a. Place a mug filled with white vinegar on the top rack of your empty dishwasher.

cloth lightly dampened with a mixture of water and isopropyl alcohol for a streak-free finish. 5. Indoor Plants: Refresh and Revive
