These 10-minute cleaning hacks will forever change the way you clean your house! Nothing feels as good as tidying up minus the stress!
Cleaning Hacks For A Home That’s Spick-and-Span
There’s a secret every DIYer knows to be true: tidying up is the hardest part. No matter what complicated process it takes to finish the craft, we power through. But when it comes to cleaning up after completing the project, we just can’t seem to find the motivation! As a result, our homes, sometimes, end up looking like one big basement. We convince ourselves it’s for a good cause, but there’s no escaping the truth: it’s time to clean the house! Finally, cleaning hacks are here to save us from the hassle of cleaning!
1. Use Lemons for Polishing
This is one of the best cleaning hacks out there: lemon vinegar cleanser. All you need to do is soak lemon peels in a jar of vinegar, and let it sit for two weeks. These vinegar-soaked lemon peels can polish almost any kind of surface—bathroom floor, kitchen sink, you name it!
2. Kill Bad Odor with Citrus-Rosemary Cubes
Have you ever passed by your garbage disposal and have a sudden horrifying reaction to the bad smell? Well, here’s a cleaning hack as easy as making ice. In each of the boxes of an ice cube tray, place some chopped citrus and rosemary. Instead of putting water, pour over some vinegar. Freeze your citrus-rosemary cubes and never have to worry about the stench ever again.
3. Mix Water and Vinegar to Clean the Carpet
Yes, you read it right. All it takes to remove carpet stains is mixing water and vinegar! Put the mixture in a spray bottle and spray on the stain. Cover with a damp cloth and steam-iron afterward. One of the easiest cleaning hacks!
4. Use a Hanger Wire for Cleaning the Oven
A well-used oven has enough stains to kill anyone’s motivation for cleaning. But don’t fret! A simple cleaning “contraption” is all you need. Simply twist the hanger wire into sort of a wand. Wrap a piece of cleaning wipe at the end using a rubber band and voila! You’ll leave no spot untidied.
5. Make Use of Old Socks as Swiffer Pads
Quit buying those expensive Swiffer replacement pads and just use an old pair of socks instead! Cleaning hacks have never been simpler. Turns out socks are made of the kinds of fabric perfect for sweeping off dirt!
6. Clean the Fridge in 3 Minutes
This is one of those cleaning hacks which are more of a system than a method. This simple 3-minute process for cleaning your fridge guarantees efficiency and productivity. For this system, you’ll only be needing a plastic bag and some damp cloths!
7. Remove Gunk with a 2-Ingredient Solution
With everything going around the kitchen, your kitchen cabinet is bound to accumulate some gunk. All it takes are two ingredients to remove them: vegetable oil and baking soda! Mix the two ingredients using a toothbrush and scrub away!
8. Scrub with Salt
Have you ever thought of using the same ingredients you used for making a meal for cleaning? I know, it was right under our noses. Using a sponge and rock salt to scrub a cast iron cleans it swiftly and effectively. No oil, no food stuck to the pan, not a single stain mark left!
9. Solve It with Baking Soda
As expected, baking soda is here to help. By adding it to the washcloth you’ll be using to clean your sofa, you can get rid of stains and dirt which have accumulated from all those times you ate while watching TV! Remember: identify the type of fabric your sofa is made of first. This cleaning hack has a guide on what type of cleaning each fabric requires.
10. Soak Your Stove Burners in Ammonia
Of all the things in my house which need cleaning, my stove burners are the ones I’ve avoided for the longest time. It’s just really dirty! Looking at it already exhausts me. Turns out, all I needed to do to clean them is put them in a Ziploc filled with ammonia! Genius!
