Keeping a clean and tidy home can be a time-consuming and expensive task. But did you know that there are some surprising cleaning hacks that can help you save both time and money?
In this post, we'll share ten of our favorite cleaning hacks that will make your life easier and your home cleaner.
- Use vinegar and baking soda to clean your oven
Cleaning your oven can be a daunting task, but it doesn't have to be expensive or time-consuming. Simply mix some baking soda with water to make a paste and apply it to the inside of your oven. Let it sit for a few hours, then wipe it away with a damp cloth. For extra tough stains, you can also spray vinegar on the baking soda paste to create a reaction that will loosen the grime.
- Clean your showerhead with vinegar
If your showerhead is clogged or spitting out water in all directions, it's time for a cleaning. Fill a plastic bag with vinegar and tie it around the showerhead, making sure the head is completely submerged in the vinegar. Leave it for a few hours, then remove the bag and wipe away any remaining grime.
- Use a squeegee to clean your carpets
Did you know that a squeegee can be used to clean your carpets? Simply run the squeegee over your carpet in one direction, and watch as it picks up hair, dirt, and debris. This hack is especially useful for pet owners.
- Use a lint roller to clean lampshades
Lampshades can be tricky to clean, but a lint roller makes it easy. Simply roll the lint roller over the shade to pick up any dust or debris. For extra cleaning power, you can also use a microfiber cloth to wipe away any remaining dirt.
- Use dryer sheets to clean baseboards
Baseboards can collect a surprising amount of dust and dirt. To clean them quickly and easily, simply run a dryer sheet along the baseboards. The sheet will pick up the dust and leave your baseboards smelling fresh and clean.
- Use a lemon to clean your microwave
Microwaves can get pretty messy, but you don't need to use harsh chemicals to clean them. Simply cut a lemon in half and place it in a microwave-safe bowl filled with water. Microwave the bowl for a few minutes, then wipe away any remaining grime with a damp cloth. The lemon will leave your microwave smelling fresh and clean.
- Use coffee filters to clean your TV screen
TV screens can be delicate, so it's important to use a gentle cleaning method. Coffee filters make a great cleaning tool because they won't scratch the screen. Simply wipe the screen with a coffee filter to remove any dust or debris.
- Use a toothbrush to clean your keyboard
Keyboards can be a breeding ground for bacteria, but cleaning them is easier than you might think. Simply use a toothbrush to gently scrub the keys, then wipe them down with a damp cloth. For extra cleaning power, you can also use a cotton swab to clean between the keys.
- Use baking soda to clean your mattress
Mattresses can collect dust, sweat, and other debris over time. To keep your mattress fresh and clean, sprinkle it with baking soda and let it sit for a few hours. Vacuum up the baking soda, and your mattress will be clean and deodorized.
- Use a plastic bag to clean your blinds
Blinds can be a pain to clean, but a plastic bag makes it easy. Simply fill a plastic bag with a mixture of water and vinegar, and slip the blinds between the bag's handles. Run your fingers over the blinds to clean them, then wipe them.
