All you need are some simple things from around your house that have superpowers you don’t know about yet. So, let’s see how to clean better with what we have.
Shiny Sink Secret
If your sink is dull, washing it with soap and water may not help. What you should do to regain that shiny sink you once had is to sprinkle flour on it.

After sprinkling, use a soft cloth to rub the flour all over the sink. When you’re done, use a clean cloth to gently wipe the flour away, and you’ll see your sink shiny as new.
Lemon Fresh Garbage Disposal
You know that thing in your sink that makes a scary noise out of nowhere and sometimes starts smelling afterward? That’s the garbage disposal doing its work.

To make it smell nice, get a lemon or lime and cut it into small pieces. Drop them in the disposal one by one and turn on the water so that it can pass through. Your sink would have a fresh natural smell afterwards.
The Sneaker Magic
When you’re wearing your new pair of sneakers around, you try to be careful so that it doesn’t get so dirty. But as usual, your environment may have other plans.

After the sneakers have gotten so stained, you can make them white as new. Just get a white toothpaste and toothbrush and scrub the dirt off. Wipe with a damp cloth and see all the dirt come off with it.

Any kind of cooking oil will do. Just dab a little bit of the oil onto a paper towel. Press the towel over the sticky spot and let it sit. After a while, wipe the place off and the sticker remains will lift off.
The Brightest Mirror
Mirrors don’t only love showing you your reflection. They also love to retain all the stuff that touches them. From fingerprints to water splashes and the likes, they make the mirror blurry. So, to get rid of them, use vinegar.

Mix vinegar and water in a spray bottle and spray it on the mirror. Next, use a cloth or old newspaper to wipe the mirror till it’s dry, and you’ll have it squeaky clean.
Crayon Eraser
These marks can be very annoying and stubborn because they won’t just go away. You may even start thinking of repainting your walls to remove them, but you don’t have to go that far.

Scoop out a little of your mayonnaise and put it on those marks. Let it work on the marks for 15 minutes then wipe it off with a damp cloth. You may need to rub it hard but those marks will definitely go away.
Sparkling Toilet Potion
There’s a super cool way to clean your toilet, which is using a can of cola. All that refreshing gas can be used to do good work in the toilet, not just in your system.

Even when the toilet stains get very bad, cola can still do the job. Pour your drink into the toilet and leave for about an hour. After that, brush the stains gently and flush. Your toilet will thank you for it.
Dusty Fan Hack
Nobody is excited when it comes to cleaning the dusty fan because of the mess it makes. It pours dust around the house and into your face as well. But you can clean it easily with your pillowcase.

Put the fan blade in the open end of the pillowcase like you’re wearing it as a sock. Then, pull the pillowcase out, dragging the dirt along. That way, the dirt falls into the pillowcase and doesn’t cause a mess.
Crystal Clear Window Hack
You’ve tried to clean the window, but the towel is leaving some lint behind. It eventually gets really messy and ruins your effort. So, to get the best out of your window cleaning, ditch towels and use newspapers.

Mix your soap and water the normal way and wipe the windows with newspapers. When you’re done, wipe with a dry newspaper as well and you’d be surprised how clean it’ll be.
Oven Rescue
After making lots of cookies and making pizza, your oven will be greasy and difficult to scrub off. So, you can use baking soda to make things easy. To use, mix it with water in a bowl and stir till it looks like a thick paste.

After that, spread the paste all over your oven and make sure it covers all the dirty spots. Leave it overnight and use a sponge to scrub the next morning. You’ll notice the grime would come off a lot easier than when you first tried.
Coffee Filter Screens
Coffee Filter is a clever way to clean your TV and screens without scratching them. So, use your coffee filters to wipe your screen from top to bottom. As you wipe, you’ll see the dust coming off.

The beautiful thing about this filter is that it picks the dirt off the screen and traps it so it doesn’t fall back on it, leaving your screen very clean.
