Cleaning Hacks To Make Your Life Easier

I dislike cleaning the house and any cleaning hacks that make it a quicker and easier job are most welcome.

Here are some great cleaning hacks to help save you some time.

Get Rid Of Bathroom Grime

Use grapefruit and salt to clean the grime off your shower and bathtub! Wet the surface and sprinkle salt, then rub with grapefruit halves and the grime will disappear.

Make Your Shower Head Sparkle

Cover shower head with bag with white vinegar in it overnight, the grime will just wipe off in the morning.

De-Grease Your Stove Top

Wipe down a grease splattered stove top with paper towel and drop of vegetable oil – the grease will be gone.

Deep Clean Your Dishwasher

Clean your dishwasher by placing a cup of white vinegar on the top rack and running on a hot cycle, then sprinkle baking soda on the bottom and run again.

Clean Off Leather Marks

Use shoe polish to remove marks off leather furniture easily.

Get Rid Of Grease Stains

To remove grease marks, rub chalk on clothes, walls, carpets etc and then rub off with a damp towel.

Great tips here. I am a bit strange and do find cleaning quite therapeutic. Maybe it’s because I just love the clean house feeding afterwards.

Do most of these but have never used the vegetable oil to clean my gas hob, just wondering if they would end up sticky once heated..

I would never have thought of using vegetable oil to clean the stove top! I always have bicarb and vinegar on hand for cleaning, especially in the kitchen!

Soda Water is good for getting stains out of clothes.
Mentholated Spirits is good for cleaning your sink and draining board rub and it will shine like new.
I always put Aromatherapy oil in my vacuum cleaner mine has foam filters I have to wash and dry and then I dab the oil on it in a couple of spots and let dry then put back in vacuum cleaner and it leaves a lovely smell when your using it.

I have found the most affective way to keep things clean long term is to clean as regularly as possible. That way there is no build up as I find it’s the build up that’s the hardest to clean.

Lemon is great for cleaning stainless steel and vinegar is great too! Bi carb, vinegar and hot water is great for cleaning out drains and getting rid of odour. Also microfiber cloths are like magic for cleaning all over the house without any chemicals.
