Getting Rid of the Dust Bunnies

Focusing on one room at a time as opposed to the whole apartment can make it seem like an easier feat.

A Clean Kitchen is a Happy Kitchen

The refrigerator is home to vegetables, eggs, milk and those leftovers that have been taking up a permanent residence next to your groceries. A good way to tackle your fridge is by taking everything out and wiping the shelves down. As you go to put food and condiments back in, check for expiration dates. Toss those old leftovers and anything that has expired. Next, move onto your kitchen pantry. Check for expiration dates here too. Any canned goods you don't plan on eating can be donated to a local food bank near your Orlando apartment.
