So it is that time of year again, Spring Cleaning! It isn’t on the top of my “I can’t wait” list, but it does need to be done. There are some areas in the house that have been in need of some serious cleaning since I moved in (back in November) that I just have not known how to tackle. Some overlooked areas that are neglected just because they are pretty much a pain to get to and to clean. Specifically in my house those would be 1. Ceiling Fans and 2. The tops of cabinets. Now, these were gross since I have moved in and honestly I have tried to clean them. I could not find anything that could cut through the grease that was on top of the ceiling fan in the kitchen and on top of the cabinets from cooking. Nasty, right? Enter my new favorite cleaner as I have now discovered it cuts through it!
Lysol All Purpose. This post is not sponsored in anyway. This is just the cleaner that I did purchase and had not tried yet. Now that I see how it cut through it all, I am a definite fan. I feel so accomplished in knowing that those areas are clean! Here is the embarrassing fan before. I was going to show you closer but realized you probably really don’t want to see that and can guess what it looks like. 
The secret to cleaning fan blades? PILLOW CASES!! Amazing right? For the non-greasy ones (in the living room and bedroom), I sprayed a mixture of vinegar and water into the pillow case. I then wrapped the pillow case around the fan blade and pulled it out. Simple and easy. Word of caution, make sure the fan is not going to be turned out, that would not be good! For the fan in the kitchen I used my new favorite Lysol cleaner and sprayed the fan blade first. I then placed the pillow case around the blade and wiped. It came off super easy!
Now, warning. This is nasty. I have tried to clean this countless times since I moved in with absolutely NO luck. It wasn’t bothering me as you can’t see it but I knew it was there and I wanted it gone. Scroll past this photo if you don’t want to see this!
Gross, right? Spray that Lysol up there and TA DA!! I have seriously tried no less than 5 different cleaning products to clean this and nothing.
Now it was absolutely nasty and I hated cleaning it but I am so glad I did!! Much cleaner now!
