To continue our conversation about cleaning hacks and how to be as efficient as possible, I thought we could begin this post by perhaps offering my own opinions on the topic. More specifically, I thought it might be somewhat fun to share with you what my favourite cleaning task is and which one I despise the most, and I ask you to do the same and let me know your own preferences in the comments section.
I really don’t mind vacuuming, but the type of vacuum in question makes a difference for me. I definitely enjoy using cordless vacuum cleaners more than ones with a cord, and the lighter, the better.
I absolutely fucking despise dusting. No matter how often you do it, there’s always bloody dust, and it seriously pisses me off.
Anyways, back to our chat about cleaning hacks, and again, this information comes from tasteofhome.com.
“Olive Oil Hack for Stainless Steel: It may sound counterintuitive, but you can remove oil with oil. For your stainless steel appliances, use a little bit of olive oil on a paper towel or cloth. Wipe in the same direction of the grain of the stainless steel, then use a soft cloth to buff it all away.
“Use a Dryer Sheet to Clean a Casserole Dish: The conditioning ingredients in an unused dryer sheet can help remove baked-on food buildup from a baking dish. Fill the dish with hot water and drop in a dryer sheet. Let it soak for about 15 minutes, then dump out the water and dryer sheet. The stains should now be easy to scrub away with a sponge! Wash again with dish soap and water to remove any residue from the dryer sheet.
“Use a Lemon to Clean the Cheese Grater: Save sponges from getting shredded by wiping graters with lemon before washing. The lemon juice and flesh will loosen up any debris stuck in the small crevices. To finish, give it a thorough rinse.
“Deodorize Your Refrigerator with Coffee: Coffee not only smells good when it’s brewing; it can deodorize your refrigerator. Simply place dry ground coffee in a bowl, and place in the fridge. The coffee grounds will absorb any foul odors.
“Use a Potato to Scrub Cast Iron: Sure, you can cook potatoes in your cast-iron skillet, but did you know you can also use a potato to clean it? Sprinkle a handful of salt into the skillet, then use a potato half (flat side down) to scrub the salt around the pan in a circular motion. Rinse with water and pat dry,” the web page explains.
Come back again tomorrow for more cleaning tips.
