Below, you’ll find some genius cleaning hacks that will turn cleaning time into a fun activity. Excited? Let’s get into it then.
Shower Squeegee for Rugs
Imagine your pets love to roll around on the rug and now, your rug is full of pet hair. You could use a vacuum cleaner, but a better way would be to use a shower squeegee.

Start at one end of the rug and drag the squeegee across to the other side. Do this over and over till you see clumps of hair gathering up. Once you’ve got a lot, pick it up and throw it away.
Dust With Packing Tape
Those annoying dust particles that hide in the most impossible places can be removed. And packing tape may just be the savior.

Tear up a piece of packing tape and gently press it onto the dusty area. When you pull the tape away, you’ll see all the dust sticking to it. Keep doing it until all the dust is gone. It’s a quick one and won’t make a mess either.
Mop With Feet
If you’ve ever imagined mopping without your mop and bucket, sit tight and keep reading. You can get cleaning slippers or a pair of old socks. Wear either of them and just glide across the room.

The bottoms of the slippers or socks will pick up all the dirt, crumbs, and anything else that shouldn’t be there. When you’re done, you can just pull it off and throw it into a washing machine for a good wash.
Rubber Gloves For Pet Hair
Your Pet keeps leaving hair all over the place but rubber gloves can come to the rescue. Wear them and dampen them with a bit of water.

Then, rub your hands over the surfaces and the gloves will create static that will pull the hair and stick it to the gloves. When the gloves get full of hair, rinse it off and just keep going till you get all the hair out.
Steam-Clean Microwave
Let’s talk about cleaning your microwave without having to scrub too hard. Fill your microwave bowl with water and vinegar. Heat it up till it gets all steamy inside.

After about five minutes, the steam would have worked on all the dirt inside. When the microwave is cooled down, you can use a cloth to wipe everything away.
Vacuum Cabinet Corners
You can end those crumbs that like to hide or disappear, thinking you won’t see them. Use the part of your vacuum cleaner that works for tiny spaces to clean.

When you empty your cabinet, turn on your vacuum cleaner and let it work for a few minutes. Your cabinet will thank you for it because those dirt and crumbs would have disappeared.
Dishwasher for Light Fixtures
You can clean your light fixtures, did you know that? Place them carefully on the top rack of your dishwasher. Run it like you normally do, and it will do the cleaning for you.

Put only plain glass there, and not metal or wood, so they don’t get ruined. Hang your sparkly fixtures on the wall or ceiling when you’re done.
Pillowcase for Cleaning Fans
Ceiling fans are very good at gathering dust at the top of their blades. You can clean them without messing the whole place up with an old pillowcase. Slide the open end of the pillowcase over each blade of the fan, one at a time, and then pull it off.

When you pull it off, it keeps all the dust inside so it doesn’t create a mess. Go outside to shake off the dust and throw the pillowcase with the laundry.
Lint Roller for Broken Glasses
When a glass breaks and shatters, picking up those little broken pieces can be a chore. First, get the big pieces out of the way. Then, take a little roller and roll it all over where the glass broke.

The glass sticks to the sticky paper on the lint roller. You should be very careful with this and if you don’t know how to properly use it, ask for help.
Skip Pre-Rinsing Dishes
While doing the dishes, you think you need to remove all the food from the plates before using the dishwasher, right? Well, you don’t have to. Scraping the big chunks is enough but you can leave the light ones in like that.

When you pre-rinse, you’re doing the dishwasher’s job and that’s not necessary. Also, confirm that your dishwasher can handle it before you put the dishes in like that.
Clean While You Shower
Save Time and do two things at once. Truth is you may not even have the time to set aside for cleaning the bathroom. So, take advantage when you’re bathing.

You can scrub the walls and floor as you scrub yourself and both you and your bathroom will be clean. It’s also a great way to save time.
