beginning. So cleaning effort should not be overlooked. The following methods
are suggested to complete the task easily:
农历佳节即将到来，又是时候进行大扫除，去旧迎新是我们每年过年的指定动作。对于打扫功夫绝不能马虎，以下是有几个注意事项及方法让你更容易完成打扫工作：
Declutter Closets 还衣橱一个空间
Organizing your closet
is the very first step to begin with. Take everything out and sort into three
piles: keep, donate and throw. Just get rid of those unused stuffs like clothes
and accessories, and organize the rest of how you get dressed in the morning. Your
closet will look appealing, and your everyday routine will go smooth and easy.
整理衣橱是大扫除的第一个步骤。将所有的衣物搬出来并分开三大类：存、捐和丢。丢弃旧衣物及饰品，其余的依据常穿率及颜色分别贮存进衣橱里。你的衣橱会顿时变得整齐及每天更加容易寻找自己的搭配衣服也容易许多。
Cleaning Painted Walls
清理墙壁
Consider to clean your painted walls with a clean cloth or sponge and water. If that doesn’t work, dip the rag or sponge into water mixed with a little dishwashing liquid, the milder the better. If the stain persists, apply a few drops of soap directly onto the wet sponge or cloth you’re using. For more stubborn cases, you can apply a little soap right on the stain. Make sure that whatever you do to get rid of the stain, rinse the wall afterward with plain water.

你可使用干净的布或海绵混合水来简单地清理墙壁。对于小污垢，那就加点温和洗碗液混合水来擦拭。如果污迹依然存在，直接滴洗碗液在湿海绵或布上并擦拭。你也可以尝试直接将洗碗液滴在污迹上，然后利用海绵来擦拭。但是记住，不管你使用什么来清理污迹，务必使用清水来抹掉墙壁残余的肥皂。
Caring for Wall Tiles
瓷砖的护理
Cleaning bathroom and kitchen tiles with a cleaner that has “neutral pH’ ingredients. You can also mix baking soda and water for a homemade cleaner: pour ½ cup baking soda into 2 gallons water and mix very well. Then apply the liquid with a string mop or sponge mop. For grout, use the same baking soda and water mixture.

浴室及厨房里的瓷砖需要使用温和清洁液来清理。你也可以自制肥皂液，在2加仑的水里倒入半杯的梳打粉并搅拌均匀，再使用海绵沾上自制肥皂液擦拭。同样的自制肥皂液也可以使用在水泥墙上。
Reorganize Bookshelves
重新排列你的书柜
Sort books by size and subject, remove and discard any ripped dust jackets. Line books, some vertically, some horizontally, in a rhythmic pattern. This will relieve the monotony of rows.

依据书籍的大小及主题进行排序，丢弃及撕开书籍上的包装纸。将书籍以垂直或平躺方式有规律地重新摆放进书柜里。
Taking care of Stainless
Steel
不锈钢的保养
Stainless steel is easy to clean. Wash it with soap or mild detergent and warm water, followed by clean water rinse is usually quite adequate for it. To keep it bright and clean, using a light mist of wax-based aerosol spray. Lastly, don’t use anything abrasive, you don’t want to scratch or ruin the surface.

不锈钢物品是非常容易清洗的，只需使用一点的肥皂液及温水冲洗就可以了。要使之干净闪亮，使用少许的蜡质喷雾擦拭。最后，千万别使用任何磨蚀性的东西，这会损坏不锈钢的表面及留下难看的刮痕。
Freshen up Curtains
清洗窗帘
Curtains need regular cleaning to prolong their life and keep them looking as good as new. If the fabric’s washable, you should be able to clean and iron them at home: ironing is most effective while they’re still slightly damp. And look out of mildew, this often accumulates when the fabric rests on a damp and dusty windowsill or against courtyard doors, where condensation gathers.

窗帘需要定时清洗以延长其寿命，并让它们看起来像新的一样。如果织物是可洗的，你可以自行取下并进行清理工作及熨烫动作。要得注意霉菌的生长，窗帘大多数都聚积在潮湿和多尘的窗台对庭院门，间接制造了霉菌生长的机会。
