Finally! You’re in the mood to clean, you’ve got your gloves on, and…you realize you’ve run out of a certain cleaning agent… Don’t worry, Bright Side has compiled a list of extremely helpful cleaning tips to help you get your home sparkling clean. You’ll be able to solve even the most difficult and time-consuming cleaning issues in no time. These hacks are completely effective and will not cost you a fortune. We looked into it. Twice.
Burnt pots and baking trays
Baking soda and peroxide will return your burnt pots, pans and baking trays to almost-as-new condition. Minimum effort for the best results.
The bathtub
Mix vinegar and washing powder in equal proportions and apply what you get on the problem zones. Leave the mixture for 10 minutes and then rub the dirty areas with a brush.
The washing machine
Our washing machines are one of the most used appliances in our homes, and as a result, they become filthy and stinky. Start the hottest cycle available without any clothes in your machine to get rid of the odor. Fill the washer drum halfway with baking soda and white distilled vinegar. Watch the magic unfold!
Grout lines
To get those grout lines on your tile floor and walls shining and white again, use a toilet cleaner with bleach and a hard bristle brush. Your floor and walls will shine as if professionally cleaned.
A hair brush
To loosen old strands of hair, cut about every third row between the bristles. Stir some baking soda in hot water and place your brush in the solution. A couple of minutes later you’ll be able to easily remove all the hair from your favorite brush.
Air vents
Using an old cosmetic brush or a paintbrush, you can collect all the dust from the air vents in your car. Even a vacuum with a brush attachment won’t do better.
The floor
Toothpaste can be used to remove permanent marker marks from your hardwood floors. Apply a dab of toothpaste to the floor and rub it in thoroughly with a sponge or microfiber cloth.
Car seats
To save money on dry-cleaning, try to clean your car seats yourself. Use this homemade solution: mix washing up liquid, baking soda, vinegar, and water. Spray it on your car seats and scrub them using a hard brush.
A microfiber couch
First, try rubbing some alcohol into the stains, then spray your couch with some distilled water. Scrub your couch until the water rings disappear. Finally, use the hard brush to fluff up all of the fabric.
