And 9 more cleaning life hacks that will save your weekend.
How many harvesting strategies have already been invented is countless. You can clean one area of the house every day, a living room and kitchen, for example, or a bathroom and a kitchen. You can think of cleaning as meditation. You can even spit on it and clean up the rubble only if the guests are persistently asking. And you can make your life a little easier with the help of simple advice.
1. Box for shoes
Yes, an ordinary box. It can be made cute by wallpapering or varnishing. But the bottom line is that the dirt from the shoes will not creep beyond its limits. And you don’t have to wash the corridor ten times a day – oh, this fruitless struggle with the autumn slush!
2. Dishwasher not only for dishes
Some frostbitten comrades even wash their shoes in it, but we will by no means recommend this. But plastic toys, spare parts from constructors, fruits and vegetables – yes, it’s easy.
3. Shaving cream is not just for shaving
It turns out that it is also a good stain remover. True, it fights well only with fresh spots. If you drip coffee or tea on your clothes, or plant a berry spot, apply a little cream on your toothbrush and rub the spot. Then rinse off the cream with water – and the dirt is gone.
4. Goodbye wool
Usually you have to vacuum, and then also collect the hated wool from the carpet with a damp palm. The scraper we use to wash our windows and mirrors will do the job perfectly – quickly and easily. And wool can be removed from furniture by putting on a rubber glove.
5. The perfect refrigerator
A plastic wrap will help keep the refrigerator clean at all times. Cover the shelves and the bottoms of the drawers with it. It is enough to change it once or twice a week, and you will always have order on the shelves.
6. Windows without streaks
Even modern super-products can leave cloudy marks on glass. We have to wipe them again and again, until they are completely blue in the face. Make a solution: a tablespoon of starch in 50 ml of water, wipe the windows with it, then walk with a dry rag. And no divorces.
7. Mirrors
Ordinary potatoes will help make them shine. Cut a potato in half, wipe the mirror with half. Then walk over the surface with a damp cloth, and again with a dry one. Bonus – in the bathroom after such a trick, the mirrors will not sweat.
8. Ironing on both sides
Wow! Especially for those who hate ironing: wrap your ironing board in foil. It will heat up from the iron and it turns out that you iron things from both sides at once. Brilliant.
9. Do not wash the oven
Put a small bowl of ammonia in the turned off (this is important!) Oven. Close the door and leave overnight. The next day, simply wipe down the inside of the oven. The product, however, smells rather harsh, so it is better to open the window in advance and wipe the oven with gloves.
10. Don’t make your bed
Suddenly, huh? Scientists say that if we make the bed right after waking up, then we harm our health. Lingerie that is damp with sweat is an ideal breeding ground for bacteria. Better to leave the bed open to dry out.
