When you buy a cleaner and it doesn’t do the trick, that’s no good. These cleaning tips work. Always have, always will. Here are some excellent cleaning tricks you can use at home to save time and make sure things get done the right way.

Steam A Microwave

 A microwave will get tons of food caked onto its sides. Buy a dedicated microwave cleaner or simply microwave a bowl of hot water on high. Either way, you will steam the sides of your microwave and off will come any splatter in a matter of seconds. You can’t need to scrub so much.

Dish Soap And Steaming For Ovens

 For ovens, take the same approach as the microwave. Focus on chemical-free oven clean. A steam cleaner can help loosen debris. Some dish soap and the right tools can also scrub out anything that’s stuck. You don’t need to use harsh chemicals for oven cleaning.

Boiling Hot Water For Kitchenware

 This trick is fairly standard and one every person should already know. Save time scrubbing stains, dried, food, and oil on kitchenware by either soaking everything in extremely hot water or using boiling hot water to pour over. This is especially useful if you want to avoid scratching pots and pans.

Use Your Dishwasher And Go Easy On Yourself

 Your dishwasher can wash a lot more than dishes. Take advantage of that! In fact, there are dozens of things you can safely put into a dishwasher to get clean. The only real rule is avoid plastics, unless it’s on the top rack. Common dishwasher cleans include items like window screens, fridge drawers and shelves, any plastic desk organizers, cabinet knobs, plastic kids toys with no electric parts, greasy hairbrushes and combs, garden tools, stove grates, dusty vent covers, light switch plates, shower heads, and more.

Mattresses Are A Dirty Place

 Invest in a vacuum attachment you can use on your mattress. You’d be shocked by the dust, mites, and debris that can be hidden on and underneath bedding. For an even better job, a dedicated mattress vacuum works best.

Purchase Deodorizers For Trouble Areas

 Various areas in your home may be prone to smells. By the cat litter box. In the shoe room. In the fridge. In these areas and others, some form of deodorizer is needed. A deodorizer absorbs scents and prevents them from circulating. There are all sorts of odor-absorbent deodorizers available and they’re very addictive once you get the hang of how to use them.

Dryer Sheets For Dirty Pans

 We all have pans in the kitchen that are looking a little less than ideal. To give them a real deep-clean, let them soak for 1 hour in hot water mixed with dishwashing liquid and with a single dryer sheet. After an hour, do a quick sponge over the surface and you’ll see more or less everything instantly wipe away.

Use A Rack To Air-Dry Cleaning Tools

 Sponges, rags, and cleaning tools can ironically turn into breeding grounds for bacteria. Air-drying should take place with these items placed in a rack as opposed to being bunched up and maintaining their moisture.

Use Oxi-Clean On Tough Stains

 When all else has failed and you have nothing else to try, take your chlorine-free powder with water and douse the surface with it. Scrub away. On most fabrics, Oxi-Clean should work to remove stains.

Use Hairspray on Pen And Marker Stains

 You may be setting up a home office or pulling out an old table to make a work station from, discovering of course pen marks and marker in various places. Whether it’s on a table, wall, or other surface, hairspray is a go-to for removing pen marks. Mist, wait a few seconds, and wipe away.
