6 House Cleaning Hacks You Wish You Knew Sooner

6 cleaning hacks that can make your cleaning routine easier and more effective:

Use Vinegar and Baking Soda for Drains

  • Pour a cup of baking soda followed by a cup of vinegar down your drain. Let it fizz for a few minutes, then rinse with hot water to clear clogs and eliminate odors.

Microwave a Lemon to Clean and Deodorize

  • Place a bowl of water with lemon slices in your microwave and heat for a few minutes. The steam loosens grime, making it easier to wipe away, while the lemon leaves a fresh scent.

Remove Water Stains with a Hair Dryer

  • Use a hair dryer on a low setting to remove water rings from wooden furniture. Once dry, rub the area with olive oil to restore the shine.

Polish Stainless Steel with Olive Oil

  • Apply a small amount of olive oil to a soft cloth and buff stainless steel appliances to remove smudges and fingerprints, leaving a streak-free shine.

Clean the Showerhead with Vinegar

  • Fill a plastic bag with vinegar and secure it around your showerhead with a rubber band. Let it soak overnight to dissolve mineral deposits, then run the water to rinse.

Use a Pillowcase to Clean Ceiling Fans

  • Slide an old pillowcase over a fan blade and gently pull it back to trap dust inside. This prevents dust from falling onto your furniture or floor.

These simple hacks can save you time and effort, making your cleaning routine more efficient and effective.
