Keeping your home nice and clean takes a lot of hard work. If you’re looking for great ways to improve the cleanliness of your home, we’re here to help. The following are our top five cleaning tips to help you keep your home sparkling clean.
1. Use dryer sheets to clean your baseboards.
Baseboards have a knack for collecting dust. If you’re trying to keep all your home’s surfaces clean, you’ve probably struggled with your baseboards. Dryer sheets are a great tool for more than just laundry.
Even after your dryer sheets have been used with your laundry, they’re useful for cleaning around the house. Gently run a dryer sheet along your baseboards. Not only will it keep your home smelling fresh, but it will prevent dust from clinging to your baseboards.
2. Use grapefruit and salt to remove stains from your bathtub and sink.
If you have stubborn stains in your bathtub or sinks, you can use grapefruit and salt to remove them. Not only will the grapefruit help remove grime, but it will leave your home smelling fruity and clean.
Cut a grapefruit in half and sprinkle salt onto the grapefruit. Sprinkle salt onto the surface of your bathtub or sink, then use the grapefruit to scrub the stains. You can use the grapefruit’s rind to scrub stubborn areas. When you’ve finished scrubbing, rinse away the grapefruit pulp and salt with water and reveal your new, stain-free bathtub or sink!
3. Use your dishwasher to clean other household items.
Dishwashers aren’t just good for getting your dishes clean! If you have a dishwasher, you can use it to clean other household items. Whether you’re using it to clean your child’s plastic toys, glass light fixtures, ceramic figurines, or even your shoes, this trick is sure to save you time.
Small items can be washed in a dishwasher-safe container since falling pieces could cause damage to your dishwasher. Before washing, double-check that the items you’re putting in your dishwasher are dishwasher-safe. To keep your dishwasher clean, run an empty cycle after washing any household items.
4. Use one of these two tricks to deodorize your garbage disposal.
Garbage disposals can get smelly fast! If you need to deodorize your garbage disposal, there are a few different methods you can use. First, make ice cubes made from vinegar. Put the ice cubes into your disposal, turn it on, and flush it with cool water.
The second method is great if you regularly eat citrus fruit. Place an orange, lemon, or grapefruit peel into the garbage disposal and turn it on. This will give your disposal a great citrus scent.
5. Always clean your home from top to bottom.
Whenever you’re cleaning a room, make sure to clean it from top to bottom. When cleaning, dirt will fall downward. If you clean from the bottom up, you’ll find yourself wasting a lot of time re-cleaning certain areas.
However, cleaning from top to bottom means you’ll be able to save time and energy getting your entire home clean. By cleaning your floors last, you can remove any dirt that fell during other cleaning tasks.
