Here are some quick and safe do-it-yourself aka. DIY cleaning hacks that will make the process and your life easier. This blog by Joy of Cleaning is about all things related to being happy while doing housework. It’s for people who love cleaning but also need tips on how to be efficient, save money, and get more done in less time.
1. Detox garbage bins with lemons
It’s important to have the proper tools and knowledge on how to properly dispose of trash. One way you can do so is by using some lemons! Lemons are known for their smell and taste but they also help with cleaning and getting rid of bacteria in your garbage bins! Garbage cans often contain food items such as vegetables, fruit peels, coffee grounds, eggshells – all of which emit an unpleasant odor when left unchecked.
The next time you’re running your garbage disposal and it’s getting a little sluggish, add the juice from half an orange or lemon to give yourself that fresh citrus scent without any of those harsh chemicals. The natural enzymes in fruits help break down food waste into smaller particles so they won’t clog up pipes over time!
2. Vinegar and baking soda will clean bathtub for you
You’ll love this DIY cleaning hack! Vinegar and baking soda are both natural cleaners that will help sanitize the surfaces in your bathroom, including the tub! These two household items can be mixed together into a paste that you’ll then apply onto the surface of your bathtub. You’ll want to scrub it all over before rinsing off any residue left behind. This process should take about 10 minutes or less. You may need something like an old toothbrush for those hard-to-reach places!
3. Remove pet hair and pet odors
For those pesky pet odors, mix vinegar with water in a spray bottle and spritz it onto any surface where you think there may be an odor problem. This cleaning hack will keep your home free of loose fur.
For those extra pet hairs that remain after the vacuum, all you need are some rubber gloves from the cleaning aisle at your local grocery store or big-box retailer. Slide them on and get ready to frisk with that sofa! Rub down each side of it until all fur falls off, removing any tracking dirt as well in one easy step. Water will be enough for this task; just submerge hands into the water while still wearing these protective garments so they remain floating atop whatever surface holds up best against possible contamination (i.e., sink). The hair should stick right away without hassle.
4. Dust electronics with coffee filters
The coffee filters are inexpensive, readily available, and they’re reusable. They can be used to remove dust from electronics without scratching surfaces or leaving any type of residue on the device. For those times when you need to clean the screen of your LCD TV, or laptop, there is no better tool than using a dry coffee filter. Simply turn off and then remove any existing dust or lint from around its area with one quick wipe across it while gently sweeping in an upward motion for complete coverage across all angles–your favorite show will thank us later! This cleaning hack helps!
5. Clean blinds with old socks
Did you know that old socks can be used to clean your blinds? You simply cut off the toe of an old sock, fill it with soap and water, tie a knot in the end, and wipe down your blinds. This is a cheap alternative to buying expensive cleaning products for just one use! Cleaning the dust from your windows will not only make them look cleaner but also help you save on energy costs by blocking out more sunlight.
