Keeping your home running smoothly with decent healthy meals and clean laundry, as well as making sure that it is clean and tidy as much as possible (whew!), can be a total pain, and feel like an amazing waste of time. So, I decided to find as many cleaning and household ‘hacks’ as I could in order to make life at home easier, more pleasant, and leaving more time for the things we really enjoy.
I hope that you find these tips useful, and that you are able to easily put them into practice in your home.
Microwave Magic:
Voila, Vinegar:
Did you know that you can clean kitchen countertops and stainless steel appliances with white vinegar? Dilute it by adding double the amount of water as white vinegar in a spray bottle, then use it as you would a regular household cleaner. Make sure to completely dry stainless steel after cleaning though, so that it doesn’t spot. Voila, nice and simple!
Scented Cleaner:
Toilet Bababoom:
- In a ziplock bag, add ½ cup baking soda (bicarbonate of soda), ½ cup cornstarch, and ½ cup lemon juice until the mixture clumps.
- Then add 2 to 3 tablespoons of water in the mix and knead it.
- Repeat this step until the mixture feels like dough.
- Finally add 15 drops of your favourite essential oil in the dough mix and knead again.
- Store it in ice trays and leave to dry for a couple of days. Once it is dry, remove one of the toilet bombs and put it into your toilet bowl. Let it fizz up for a couple of minutes and then flush.
