Toilet
Using 2-3 cups of vinegar in the toilet and letting it sit for at least 3 hours before scrubbing it a little and flushing it down will not only get it clean but also get off any foul odor.
Washer And Laundry
A cup of light distilled white vinegar in your laundry cycle is a great way to remove stains and odor from the clothes.
As for cleaning the washer itself, a self-cleaning run with hot water and bleach is set to eliminate any viruses and bacterias that might be lingering inside.
Household Appliances
Vinegar can be used to deep clean most of the appliances around the house, including dishwashers, microwaves, and even your coffee maker.
For dishwashers – a cup of vinegar in the rinse compartment as the washer runs a complete cycle-free it from all the tough soap scum.
For the coffeemaker – fill the coffee maker’s reservoir with 3-4 tablespoons of part vinegar and part water and run it. To clear the vinegar smell, run another cycle with simple water, and you’re set to go.
For microwave – while setting the microwave for 5 minutes with a bowl of hot water helps remove the grease and stains effectively, you can also try 1/4th part vinegar to the bowl to make the process easier and remove the stubborn ones.
Other appliances – filling diluted vinegar in a spray bottle and using a damp cloth to spray and wipe appliances like refrigerators, etc., is an excellent way to disinfect and clean them from both inside and outside. It also works for stainless steel appliances.
Using Lint Roller To Dust Off The Surfaces
If you got a pet in the house, you must know how hard it is to get those pet hair out while cleaning. Using a sticky lint roller is an excellent way to pick up dust and other hard-to-catch items such as glitter off the surfaces instead of a feather or cloth duster.
Baking Soda For Un-Scratching Dishes
While a dish soap may get you rid of the grease, sadly, it doesn’t help eliminate the knife and cutlery marks. Making baking soda and water paste and using it over the spots before rinsing it off is known to remove any such scratches or make them invisible.
Potatoes For Cast Iron Skillet
Using dish soap to clean the cast iron skillet can ruin it. Slicing a potato and using the half part of rub coarse salt over the cast iron mess until it breaks down and can be rinsed is an excellent way to clean the skillet without actually damaging it.
Dryer Sheets
Attaching a dryer sheet to the sweeper you use to clean around the house, especially for baseboards, is a simple trick for a quick clean and fresh smell around the house.
Moreover, putting a dirty and greased pan with soap and warm water in the sink and a dryer sheet for an hour will help the mess go away quickly and easily.
Lemons Can Tidy Up The Garbage Disposal
Though we use cleaning supplies and garbage disposals to keep the space around the house clean, how often do we tend these helping tools?
Dropping a simple half-cut lemon into the drain as you turn the disposal on will not only help clear the space but also leave your garbage disposal with a fresh scent.
