10 life hacks for cleaning - how to clean much less often, easier and faster

We clean the glass

To make it easier to clean the shower, a vinegar solution - a glass of acid for two glasses of hot water - is suitable. The composition must be poured into a spray nozzle and applied to the walls of the cabin. After 20 minutes, wipe the surface with a cloth. The same solution is used to clean windows and mirrors.

A fun way to clean your shower is with a car window cleaner. It allows you to instantly get rid of excess moisture on the walls.

Wash the microwave

You will need citrus peels (lemon, orange, or grapefruit) to sanitize the microwave, soften grease, and refresh the kitchen. Put them in a bowl half filled with water, then turn on the microwave for 5 minutes and leave it closed for half an hour. Essential oils can help get rid of unpleasant odors and soften impurities. All that remains is to wipe the device with a dry sponge.

We do not carry dirt around the house

Door mats often fail to cope with their task and do not retain dirt. In order for the snow and sand brought from the street to remain in the hallway, it is recommended to use a tray filled with small stones that can be found on the street, in the forest or brought from a summer cottage. For those with a lot of shoes, a multi-shelf shelf can help keep dirt out of the floor.

We take care of the washing machine

To exclude the breakdown of the main home assistant, it is necessary to periodically clean it with baking soda. It will help get rid of unpleasant odors, limescale and mold without damaging the mechanism. With baking soda, you can clean the filters, the tray, and the drum. You will need one pack of the product: most of it is poured into the container for the powder, the smaller part is poured into the drum. You need to turn on the machine, choosing the highest temperature and the shortest washing period.

Keeping order in the refrigerator

A neat refrigerator is always nice, but, unfortunately, it gets dirty very quickly. To clean the shelves less often, you can lay them on parchment paper, which is easy to remove: adhering crumbs, spilled liquid and stains will remain on it. Special silicone mats are also suitable: taken out of the refrigerator, they are easy to clean in the sink.

We clean the pan

Do not throw away a burnt pan, even if it seems hopelessly spoiled. You can clean the inside of the stainless steel dishes using shavings of laundry soap diluted in two glasses of water. It is necessary to boil the solution for 10 minutes.

To get rid of dirt on the outer walls, you need to pour the vinegar essence and water (1: 1) into a bowl larger than the size of the pan. Bring the solution to a boil and put a saucepan in it so that the steam gets on the walls. After 10 minutes of processing, the surface should be wiped with a sponge and baking soda.

Removing rust from the bath

Due to the poor quality of tap water, plaque often forms on plumbing fixtures. In addition to using industrial formulations, improvised means can also help. Choose any method:

• Dissolve 1 liter of 9% vinegar in a bath of warm water and leave for 12 hours.
• Mix 3 packets of citric acid with fine salt and spread over the rust. Sprinkle with warm water and leave for 2 hours.
• Leave a towel soaked in Coca-Cola on the contaminated areas for several hours. Phosphoric acid will dissolve plaque.

We clean clogged pipes

To get rid of mold, unpleasant odor and pathogenic bacteria, you need to pour boiling water into the pipe and pour half a glass of soda. After 5 minutes, you need to pour a glass of vinegar there and the same amount of boiling water. We close the pipe with a rag. After 10 minutes, pour hot water into the hole again.

Work with vinegar with gloves!

Getting rid of stains in the oven

To remove fat, you need to place a baking sheet with water in a preheated oven and wait for the steam to work. But if the stains are old, the help of cleaning agents is needed. Mix half a glass of baking soda and 4 tablespoons of water to make a paste. Lubricate the contaminated surfaces with it and sprinkle with vinegar. We withstand the time while the reaction is going on, and wipe it thoroughly with a sponge.

Removing carbon deposits from the iron

To make the iron shine like new, you can try several folk remedies:

• A cloth soaked in 3% hydrogen peroxide.
• Cotton swab with vinegar and ammonia.
• Baking soda solution.
• Liquid for nail polish remover to remove adhered nylon or polyethylene.

These tips will help you clean up faster using only eco-friendly and cheap products.
