10 Quick and Easy Home Cleaning Tips to Try Today

No one loves staying in a dirty environment. Clean homes relieve stress, and they are also healthy for you. But, unfortunately, the home cannot clean by itself. The only way to keep your house clean is to clean or get someone to clean for you.

When cleaning your home, you can get better results when you use pro-level cleaning tools and products. Professional cleaning supplies and equipment are more effective, and using them will make the job so much easier and faster.

Although they’re cleaning tools and products for professionals, anyone can buy them and learn to use them. Professional cleaning equipment can be used for a long time, so buying them will be worth your investment.

Even if you have someone like clean homes by Cleanzen who cleans for you, you will still need to play a part to ensure that your home is always clean. 

If you are moving out of a rental, you may want to consider an end of tenancy cleaning Chelsea.

Cleaning your home might seem like a daunting task, but some tips and tricks can make it easier. Check them out. 

Clean your bathroom tub with grapefruit and salt

You don’t need to mix up detergents and scrub hard to get rid of your tub stains. Get grapefruits, cut them open, put some salt on it, and scrub away. The salt will act as an abrasive, and the grapefruit will also provide citric acid to help you get rid of the stains with ease. 

Use lemon in your garbage disposal 

It is not surprising that your garbage disposal can sometimes have a bad smell. After all, it handles the garbage in your home. You can, however, get rid of this smell by putting a few slices of lemon in the can. This will kill the stink in the can and leave it smelling fresh. 

Clean your sponge

It’s ironic to even think about cleaning your sponge since you use it to clean your dishes. But, it is essential to clean it since it does not clean itself. You will be transferring bacteria to your dishes if you don’t clean your sponge. A quick and easy way to get rid of the bacteria in your sponges is to wet the sponge and put it into the microwave for about a minute. Doing this will get rid of the bacteria. 

Use vinegar to clean hard water marks

Hard water spots can make your sinks look ugly. Soak a rag with vinegar and use it to cover all the spots that have the hard water mark. Leave it for about an hour, and then scrub the spot. Your faucets will be gleaming. 

Clean your couch with baking soda

If you find tough smells or bad smells on your cough, sprinkle baking soda at the spot. Leave it for about 20 minutes and vacuum. Use the brush attachment when vacuuming. 

Remove grease stains with ease

Use four parts of alcohol and one part of salt to get rid of stains from any surface. Apply the mixture on the stain and wait for it to dry up. Now vacuum the spot to get rid of the remaining salt. 

Use vinegar to clean cloudy glasses

Make your glasses crystal clear with vinegar. Simply put vinegar on a paper towel and use it to clean your glasses. 

Use vinegar to clean your coffee maker

If you use your coffee maker daily, you will definitely need to clean it often. Do a vinegar rinse once a month to get rid of the bacteria and dirt. Fill your coffee maker reservoir with a few teaspoons of vinegar and add water. Run it for a few minutes to clean your coffee maker.
