Easy spring-cleaning – refresh your home with a few quick tricks
Hay's durable cotton dishcloths make cleaning a treat.
1. Bye bye dust bunnies
Dusting is a simple way to brighten up your home and make it feel cleaner and more inviting. Hay’s absorbent, machine washable cotton dishcloths in fun spring hues are perfect for both kitchen and cleaning. Wipe mirrors and windows clean to let in the light and keep in mind grandma’s tip: after washing, wipe mirrored surfaces with scrunched up newspaper to make them crystal clear.

Take bedding out and let it take in the cool spring breeze. The gorgeous rattan carpet beater by Parolan Rottinki makes cleaning extra pleasing.
