A good clean turns a secondhand find into something you're happy to use.

How

  • Wash clothes and fabrics on the hottest setting the label allows
  • Wipe hard surfaces with warm soapy water
  • Tighten loose screws and hinges on furniture
  • Re-season cast iron after scrubbing off rust
  • Air out musty items outside on a dry day

Upholstery

Vacuum seams and corners well. If you see signs of bed bugs, don't bring the item inside.
