Quick and Easy Cleaning Ideas

By: Enriq Roalette

Once you make the commitment to cleaning up your home, the biggest issue is how to get it done thoroughly and quickly. Here are some ideas that will make it quick and easy.

1. Cleaning Shower Curtains - Your best weapon against soap scum is white vinegar. Cleaning shower curtains can be accomplished by throwing them into the clothes washer. Use a quarter to a half cup of white vinegar instead of detergent.

2. Cleaning Shower Heads - Cleaning shower heads is a necessary task and fairly easy. Take the shower head off. Place it in a bowl with equal mixes of hot water and white vinegar. Leave it for an hour or so and then rinse it thoroughly.

3. Clean Top to Bottom – Whatever room or space you are cleaning, always go top to bottom. As dust, dirt and other things get kicked up, they will fall.

4. Gum in Carpet – Gum is great for chewing, but a nightmare if gets onto your carpet. To get it out, apply ice cubes until it is brittle. Break it off and remove. To get the remnants out, apply a basic spot remover.

5. Cleaning Dirty Eyeglasses – You are going to love this one. Clean dirty eyeglasses with vodka. I swear it does the job.

6. Stop Flies Inside – To get rid of flies, hang cloves in your rooms. Flies hate them much like vampires hate garlic. Yes, it really works. No promises on the vampires!

7. Allergies and Cleaning – If you have allergies, take your medication before cleaning your place. Cleaning is primarily about the removal of dirt and dust.

8. Remove Rust on Furniture – If you have metal pieces on your furniture, they will inevitably start to rust. Rub them with turpentine. Does the trick every time.

9. Removing Your Stickers – When it is time to get rid of those stickers, soak them in vegetable oil. Wait for 15 minutes and then carefully scrape off. Mayonnaise also does the trick.

10. Mixing Cleaning Products – Cleaning products are chemical mixtures and should never be mixed. The chemical in one product may react with those in another. Burns and explosions are possible.

A thorough cleaning of your house should happen at least a couple of times a year. You might groan at the idea, but you will feel much better when it is completed.
