Cleaning Tips
Tricks
Use a new tennis ball to wipe scuffs marks off walls, tile, and wood.
1.
Disinfect your sponge by dampening and placing in the microwave for 3 minutes to kill germs.
2.
Use the "Top-Down" method. Clean from the top of the room (ceiling fans and light fixtures) to the bottom (baseboards and floors) to avoid having to re-clean the same area twice.
3.
Add a few drops of lemon juice to baking soda to clean, sparkle and leave your sink smelling fantastic.
4.
Place a bowl of vinegar out to absorb smoke odor.
5.
For crystal-clear windows wipe them down with coffee filters.
6.
Use a lint roller to remove debris such as pet hair and cobwebs from your screen doors. Try attaching a lint roller to a pole if the screen door or window is tall or hard to reach.
7.
Remove burnt-on food and other messes from your stove burners with a cup of ammonia and zip-lock bags. Let the stove burners soak overnight and in the morning they will be shiny, clean and like-new.
8.
Keep your bathroom and toilet smelling lemony fresh by using a few splashes of pine-sol in the bottom of your toilet brush holder. Not only will it help deodorize your bathroom, it will also help as a convenient disinfecting cleaner for your toilet brush.
9.
Use a butter knife wrapped in cloth to get in between those tiny spaces in your air vent and get rid of all that yucky accrued dirt and dust.
