Today’s post is a continuation of yesterday’s, discussing some incredibly helpful cleaning hacks.
I doubt I speak for myself when I say the concept of hacks is a fickle one – sometimes, you come across a hack that seriously changes your life, and other times, you come across hacks that offer arguably the stupidest information to ever meet your eyeballs. There doesn’t seem to be a whole lot of middle ground here.
That being said, the hacks I shared yesterday and the ones I share today are, in fact, useful, and here is hoping you can put them into practice. Again, this information comes from thekitchn.com.
“Put a Cotton Ball in Your Trash Can: Garbage stinks. It’s a fact of life. But here’s a trick to make it a little less smelly — or rather, smelly in a good way. Take a cotton ball, soak it in essential oil, and drop it in your bin (underneath the liner or the bag). It’s an easy and inexpensive odor-fighter that helps keep your trash from getting too pungent.
“Polish a Stainless Steel Sink with Flour: If you have a stainless steel sink, the single best thing you can do for it is to polish it with flour. Wash and dry the sink, sprinkle the whole thing flour, and then get to buffing. You’ll be surprised at how sparkly the metal gets!
“Harness the Power of Cooking Spray: A weird-but-effective way to clean your bathroom? PAM cooking spray. Not only will it remove soap scum from your tub, but it can also shine your faucets, clean your glass surfaces, and even stop your bathroom door from squeaking!
“Add a Bowl of Vinegar to Your Dishwasher: If you live in an area with hard water, you are probably pretty frustrated with dirty-looking dishes that come out of your dishwasher. Put a bowl right-side-up in your dishwasher and pour in some vinegar. Run the dishwasher — the vinegar will help combat that hard water so your dishes come out looking spotless,” the web page explains.
I know I’ll be trying out a bowl of vinegar in my dishwasher.
