Idea #1: Take it all with you.
A small plastic box is an indispensable helper during general cleaning. It saves you from having to go from room to room to get the cleaning supplies you’ve left behind. Put them in the box and carry them with you.
Idea #2: Complete the order
To make household cleaning easier and faster, put your kitchen cabinet where you keep your cleaning supplies in order. Hang hooks for rubber gloves and neatly stack rags and brushes so you can find everything you need much more easily.
Idea #3: When you’re short on time
It’s impossible to clean the bathroom before you go to work. But you can use the time to your advantage: Pour some cleaning fluid into the toilet in the morning and go over the walls with a scrubber in the evening. In just a few minutes, you can forget about the exhausting weekend cleaning.
Idea #4: Old Secrets
When fighting grease stains, use folk remedies, such as rubbing alcohol or soapy water. Rest assured: they will do just as well as an expensive cleaner. Just moisten a sponge and go on the offensive.
Idea #5: A clever disguise
Scuffed up your favourite leather chair? Give your shopping a break, because shoe polish is the perfect remedy for scratches and scuffs. Just don’t forget to let it dry.
Idea #6: A sturdy walnut
A walnut will help you hide imperfections on wooden furniture. Just rub the problem area with it, and the walnut pulp will hide all the scratches and imperfections – like magic.
Idea #7: A refreshed iron
And you can clean your iron with salt. To do this, cover your ironing board with paper and sprinkle some salt on it. Then turn the iron’s heat dial to the maximum setting, making sure there’s no water in the iron and the steam function is off. You can easily remove any dirt from the salt by running the heated iron over it.
Idea #8: No stains.
A clean white brush with a little alcohol will help remove stains from the couch. And to get rid of the unpleasant smell, add a pinch of baking soda. The ingenious stuff is easy!
Idea #9: Shower screen clean
To make cleaning your shower stall easier, buy the glass cleaner you usually use to clean your car windows. Every time you get out of the shower, wipe the stall with the glass cleaner – the shower walls will sparkle.
Idea #10: Goodbye, limescale!
Vinegar can help clean limescale from your faucet or shower head. Pour it into a plastic bag and use an elastic band to attach it to the shower head. All plaque will be gone in an hour.
