Regardless of whether\nyou like cleaning or not, maintaining the entire house is often tiring and\ntime-consuming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>Even if you live in an apartment, dust piles up and the\nfloors require frequent attention even if it&#8217;s a small place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you struggling to clean your coffee machine or a greasy\noven? Have you tried everything to remove water stains from your faucets? If\nnothing works, it might be time to try some new cleaning hacks and tricks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Max, owner of Clean That Floor shares some of the best cleaning hacks he learned at his apartment while in college.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.&nbsp;Give your faucets a new shine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>All you need for this trick is wax paper to rub the faucets\nwith. Keep in mind that you should only use this on chrome faucets since other\ntypes might have some coating that would get damaged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clean the faucets as you normally do with whatever cleaning\nsupplies you use. Once they\u2019re nice and clean, grab your wax paper and rub the\nfaucets with it. It might seem a bit odd, but it works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll notice how your faucets stay shiny even with regular\nuse. If you have other chrome surfaces like a shower curtain rod, you can use\nthe same method to give them a shine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.&nbsp;Cleaning the electric kettle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An electric kettle works on electricity, so you can\u2019t really\nwash it in the dishwasher or your sink. Much like all things that are in\nconstant contact with water, a kettle requires occasional descaling and\ncleaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Luckily, this is pretty simple to do with some water and\nvinegar or half a lemon. Fill the kettle with water and lemon juice and bring\nit to boil. Let it sit for another fifteen minutes before rinsing a few times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If it requires some more thorough cleaning, you should boil\na mixture of equal parts of water and vinegar. Make sure to rinse the kettle\nbefore using it again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.&nbsp;Keep the sink shiny<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first hack here is to clean the sink at least a little\nbit every day. Some people consider the sink to be the last dish you should\nwash if you want to keep it nice and shiny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still, we don\u2019t always have the time, so it ends up looking\na bit messy. Don\u2019t worry if yours does too because there\u2019s a trick to help the\nsituation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spray some water on it and sprinkle a bit of baking soda. If\nyou don\u2019t have baking soda, you can mix water and an equal amount of vinegar to\nspray the area with. Let that sit for some ten minutes before scrubbing and\nwashing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.&nbsp;Get to the nooks and crannies of your oven<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not as simple to clean all the nooks and crannies of an\noven, especially if you waited a bit too long to clean it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Breaking through that grime is quite tricky, but not if you use a Magic Eraser. These are quite simple to use and also very versatile, so you can use them on glass too. Plus, they come in larger packs and are pretty affordable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It takes only a few minutes for a Magic Eraser to break\nthrough the sticky grime in your oven. This makes it easier to clean without\nusing harsh chemicals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Keep your toilet brush fresh and clean<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Toilet brushes are nobody\u2019s favorite thing to clean, but\nthey still require an occasional rinse. A good trick to use is to pour some\ndetergent in the brush holder. Once you place the brush inside, it will smell\nnicer and fresher and also stay clean for a longer time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can pour pretty much anything inside the holder. Some\npeople pour hand soap while others use dishwashing detergent. You can even pour\na multi-surface cleaner inside or whatever other product that smells nice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the plus side, the extra product on the brush might help\nclean the actual toilet as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Get a versatile vacuum cleaner<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Having a versatile and reliable vacuum makes the process of cleaning the floors much easier. What\u2019s a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/dyson-v11-torque-drive-cordless-vacuum-cleaner-review\/\">good vacuum<\/a> typically depends on your needs and preferences. However, make sure the unit of your choice is lightweight, easy to use, and has a few attachments and tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This might seem like a pricey hack, but having a vacuum to\nclean the floors, stairs, and upholstery with makes a significant difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, you can use your vac to fresh up your carpets with a\nlittle bit of baking soda. Sprinkle some on the carpet and let it sit for a\nwhile before vacuuming the entire area. This should freshen and sanitize the\nrugs a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7.&nbsp;Use Windex to clean the walls<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you have some crayon marks on your walls? These are\ntypically a cause for panic because it\u2019s tricky to clean them without taking\nthe paint off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, there\u2019s a way of doing this by using Windex. Spray\nsome product on a microfiber cloth and gently pat the area. Make sure not to\nscrub or rub because that would most definitely damage your paint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, you should first test this on a discreet part of the\nwall. Some walls are different than others, so you should first check if this\nwould work or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8.&nbsp;Multi-purpose vinegar<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You may or may not know, but pretty much everything can be\ncleaned with some vinegar. For this reason, you don\u2019t have to buy several\nproducts when you can just one thing in a few different ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just mixing some water with as much vinegar makes for a good\ncleaning solution you can use on most surfaces. If you don\u2019t like the smell,\nyou can add some of your favorite essential oils.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you have some pencil marks on your couch? Mix a bit of\nwater, vinegar, and dishwashing detergent to rub the marks with. Again, you\nshould first try this on a remote part of the couch that\u2019s not as visible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is it time to clean the house again?
