We are quick to make resolutions for the New Year and sometimes as quick to forget them. If you resolved to keeping things clean, here's a few tips to make it easier for you:
-
To clean a ceiling fan, hang an umbrella upside down from the fan mount or blades while dusting so the dust falls into the umbrella and not on the bed or floor
-
To ease the pain of cleaning your fireplace, sprinkle a few dashes of salt into the fire each time you use it. This helps keep the build up loose and easier to clean.
-
Use toothpaste to removes scuff marks on vinyl or linoleum floors. Rub it into the scuff mark and wipe with a damp microfiber. Add a little baking soda to the toothpaste for those tough to remove marks.
-
Hard to remove stains on your grout or tile floor can be removed with an old toothbrush and toothpaste.
-
To clear a smoky odor, whether its cigarettes or a burned dinner, boil a saucepan of vinegar and water.
-
For that hard to clean microwave, boil a bowl of water and lemon juice for 5 minutes and then wipe clean.
-
To clean your iron, sprinkle some salt on the ironing board and run the hot iron over the salt.
-
To shine up your stainless steel appliances, use a microfiber and a little olive oil, apply in circular motions.
-
To clean the inside of your decorative bottles that you just can't get into, mix warm water, a few drops of dish washing detergent and crushed eggshells or small pieces of pumice, swirl and shake vigorously until the residue comes off the bottle; then rinse with clean water.
-
Have a copper sink that has stains? Use a crumbled piece of aluminum foil and gently rub the surface of the sink then rinse with water.
