You too can
have a life of clean and ordered bliss at your home. Make a note of the
following tips to clean your home efficiently.
Brilliant Bathroom
Surface Cleaning
Take 1 2/3
cups baking-soda and mix it with 1/2 cup liquid soap in a bowl. Add half a cup
of water to dilute the mixture and pour 2 tablespoons white vinegar also into
the bowl. Stir the mixture well with a fork to form a fine solution. Transfer
the liquid from the bowl to a spray bottle. Close the bottle with its cap and
shake well before use. Now spray the liquid as necessary on the bathroom
surfaces and scrub with a nylon-backed sponge. Once the stains, soap scum and
mildew have been dissolved, rinse the area with water and see a sparkling
bathroom.
You can also
use ammonia for cleaning the yellowing white tiles (discoloration caused due to
wax build up) on the walls of the bathroom. Use a mixture of 1 cup ammonia added
into 2 litres of water. Scrub the tiles with a scouring pad till all the traces
of wax are removed and finally rinse with water.
The problem
with cleaning shower tiles that have lots of nooks and crannies is that some of
the cleaning solution often stays stuck there. You can easily manage this situation
using a toothbrush to scrub those little nooks as needed.
How to Keep Clean
Your Fridges/Freezers
Get your
fridge sparkling clean and smelling fresh with a solution of equal parts of water
and white vinegar to wash both its interior and exterior. Another option is to
try cleaning the refrigerator with a mixture of two tablespoons of baking soda
and a quart of warm water. Did you know that white toothpaste can be used to
clean deep stains in your fridge?
The plastic
handles on the refrigerator are used frequently and sometimes they turn yellow.
Try using a baking-soda paste to re-whiten the handle.
Quick
Benchtop Cleaning
Sprinkle some
baking-soda onto the bench top surface and rub with a damp cloth to bring back
the sine and sheen.
For Burnt
Black Marks on Your Iron
Scrub the
mark firmly with a baking-soda paste to remove the black stuff. You can also try to get rid of the black
patches of burnt cloth fibre and dirt on your iron by scrubbing it with white
vinegar and a Dobie Pad.
The
baking-soda paste also can be used to slough off stains on your plastic cutting
boards. Try this method also: Sprinkle rock salt on a cut lemon and rub it on
the stubborn stains.
Make a paste
using two tablespoons of salt and one teaspoon of white distilled vinegar and
use it for scrubbing your chrome sink to get that extra shine.
How to Clean
Mirrors and Glass Windows
Mix one part
vinegar and one part water in 16-ounce squirt bottle. Add 2 teaspoons each of
corn starch and rubbing alcohol into the bottle along with 8 drops of citrus
oil. Close the bottle with cap. Shake it thoroughly and squirt on mirrors and
windows, and scrub with old newspapers. You
are sure to get a good shine.
Tricks for
Removing Dried Nail Polish from Carpet
Look for a
product that is acetone free nail polish remover to dissolve and lift off the
polish stain from your carpet. Apply the polish remover on to the affected area
and dab at the stain with clean paper towels. That should do it for you.
The vinegar
magic mentioned for fridges can be applied to clean your carpets too! Take a
mixture of 2 tablespoons salt dissolved in half cup white vinegar and apply it
on light stains on the carpet. You need to add 2 tablespoons borax to the
mixture if the stain is deep and darker. Wait for some time for the solution to
dry, and then vacuum the carpet.
