Best Cleaning Hacks You Never Knew You Needed

Find out common household cleaning tips that you probably never even considered before! In this post, we have a list of hacks that will revolutionize your cleaning process and make your work easier, faster, and cheaper.

No more stained sinks, dirty counters, and wasting time on cleaning and sorting–these cleaning tips will quickly become your new go-to for a perfect clean. 

Basics For Disinfecting Cloths and Sponges

Wash your clothes and sponges that you use to clean your kitchen and other rooms regularly in order to get rid of germs. 

Source: Pinterest 

First of all, wash them in hot water and soap, rinse them, and put them into the disinfectant for 15 minutes (or rinse them in freshly boiled water). Squeeze out again and let the clothes dry completely before using them. 

Hack When Vacuum Cleaner Losts Its Suction

Here’s what to do: pull out the hose and check where the dust cylinder or bag is located and see if there is any obstruction. Replace the bag/filters or wash the dirt container and dry thoroughly.

Rinse the hairs and the thread from the head of the brush (don’t pull them out). Pull out the blockage from the tube and then you are good. 

Cleaning the Oven without Chemicals

To deep clean, set the oven to 200 degrees C, place an oven-safe bowl filled with water inside, close the door, and let the oven work for the next 45 minutes. Let the oven cool well before wiping off the loosened dirt with a clean cloth.

Also, shelves can be cleaned with 250 grams of soda crystals dissolved in hot water; and then scrubbed with a kitchen foil ball.

Removing Finger Marks From Stainless steel

Stainless steel is a very popular material be it in home use or other areas but this item is easily spoiled by finger marks.

Marks on splashes, kitchen countertops, or even on a kettle are irritating and do not easily rub off. Wipe the whole surface with baby oil or a rinse aid and they will no longer be visible.

Tackling Grimy Grout

Here’s the cleaning tip: Bicarb mixed with water should be applied to the grout between your tiles and scrubbed. Pour vinegar into a spray bottle and spray it over the mixture. It should begin to form a thick paste.

Then clean it with a brush, or if you have an old head for the electric toothbrush, you can use it – it’s much easier. 

Cleaning Spills From Bedding

When it comes to spills, particularly those on bedding, time is of the essence – especially when it comes to your mattress. Place the mattress upright and dab the affected area with cold water using a sponge but do not make the mattress too wet.

Remove the excess by using a dry cloth and then treat the stained area with a stain remover.

Hygiene For Cutting Boards

To maintain high levels of cleanliness, ensure that your cutting boards are always clean. Wipe the plastic chopping boards with lemon juice in order to get rid of the food stains and leave it for a night. Rinse thoroughly and dry.

If the board is dishwasher safe, wash it in the dishwasher at a low temperature of 65 degrees to eliminate the bacteria.

Pampering Your Washing Machine

Now, do you know that it is also important to pamper your washing machine? To do this, you need to clean it from mould and bacteria. Run an empty hot wash (60 degrees or above) once a month without any clothes or detergent.

It is recommended to clean the washing machine every three to six months using a good machine cleaner.

Keeping Dirt Out of The House

With a good dirt-trapping doormat, you will be able to minimize the amount of mud, debris and dust that gets tracked into the house. It’s advisable to take it outside and beat out the dust and vacuum it once a week.

Most of the doormats out there are machine washable but it is also advisable to confirm with the manufacturer.

Always Do This When Using Bleach to Clean

Do  you make this common error when you use bleach? It’s very important to only use cold water with bleach because hot water tends to denature the active ingredients in bleach thus rendering it inactive.

Also, using hot water can cause the bleach to release harmful chlorine gas, which can cause health issues. Instead, use cold or lukewarm

New Use For Your Old Socks

To easily clean sludge from your Venetian blinds, all you need to do is place the sock on your hand and slightly dampen it. Then, brush through the slats, and throw the sock in the washing machine after use.

It also helps in cleaning the skirting boards and picture frames with ease using a clean damp sock.
