Keeping your living space presentable and sanitary can sometimes feel like a daunting task -- it seems as if there are always more cleaning projects than time in the day! Day-to-day tidying is a must, not to mention those bigger cleaning projects must be tackled at least once a year.

There are plenty of ways to care for your plant. With the help of our plant experts, we’ve weeded out the Top Ten Tips for healthy, happy plants.

Are the plants you love the ones you can have? The available light in your space will help you decide. Check the direction your windows are facing; south-facing windows give bright light, east/west-facing windows give moderate light and north-facing windows give low light. Most houseplants prefer bright, indirect sunlight.

If the sun is intense through your windows, add a lovely sheer curtain to diffuse the light. Cacti and some succulents like aloe can of course handle brighter, direct sunlight. You don’t want to overexpose or underexpose any plant. They need the right amount of light to live.

The first step is making sure you have all of these essentials on hand!

Now you can easily tackle stains on any of these common areas.
