11 fantastic cleaning tricks that will make you a household cleaning guru!
When we dedicate ourselves to household cleaning, it is normal that some parts are not treated with the same attention as others, for a matter of priority.
However, from time to time, it is good to also clean those areas and corners that you usually forget!
Therefore, if you are in the right mood to start cleaning, then follow these tricks to solve even those situations that at first glance seem impossible --- and most of all, without spending a fortune on cleaning products.
Sofas with synthetic upholstery
First of all rub alcohol on the stains that are present on the upholstery, then lightly spray the sofa with distilled water. Rub the stain until the water has dried, then use a brush to soften the upholstery fabric.
Tile grouts
To make the grouts between your tiles clean and shiny again, use any bathroom product that contains bleach. The, with an old toothbrush, scrub vigorously, then rinse and wipe clean.
Washing machines
The washing machine is the appliance that we most often use at home, which is why it gets dirty more easily. To get rid of the bad smells coming from inside the drum, wash at maximum temperature without any garments after pouring baking soda and vinegar into the detergent compartment.
Car air vents
Using an old toothbrush or an old makeup brush, you can eliminate all the dust that accumulates in car air vents. For a deeper cleaning, use the vacuum cleaner.
Hairbrushes
If your hairbrushes are full of hair, it is time to clean them thoroughly. If the amount of hair is high, use a pair of scissors to cut the hair in the center of the hairbrush. Dissolve some baking soda in hot water and soak the hairbrushes. A few minutes is enough to easily remove the hair from the hairbrush teeth.
Glassware
Salt, detergent, and hot water are the magic ingredients that will make your glassware shine. Fill all the glass containers you have with this solution, or let them soak in a basin. Rinse the glass objects and repeat the procedure if necessary.
Car seats
To avoid spending money unnecessarily to clean your car, you can think of doing this task yourself. No fear! It is not difficult at all if you use the right methods! First of all, prepare a solution with detergent (very little), baking soda, and water. Sprinkle it on the car upholstery and rub it using a rather stiff brush.
Permanent markers and pens
Toothpaste is really a magic ingredient for removing indelible or permanent marker ink from wooden surfaces. Apply some toothpaste on the affected area, let it act for a few minutes, then remove the toothpaste with a microfiber cloth.
Windows
Put some baking soda in the corners of the windows, then carefully pour the vinegar on the baking soda. Let the two ingredients react with each other (you will see bubbles forming in the baking soda), then remove everything with a damp cloth.
Grease stains on baking trays
In these cases, it is useless to waste time with oven cleaning products. In fact, the only two ingredients that will remove these stains in no time at all are baking soda and hydrogen peroxide. In a bowl combine these elements to form a thick paste then rub this on the trays. Leave for a couple of hours, then rinse. You will be amazed!
Eliminate mold
Combine vinegar and baking soda in equal parts and spread the solution obtained on the areas were mold is present. Leave for 10 minutes, then rinse with warm water.
