Summer is just around the corner and you know what that means, time to clean. And not just regular quick cleaning that’s done in 30 minutes either. Deep cleaning means you have to go through everything around your house that normally doesn’t get cleaned, and clean it.
This is a challenge not only because these odd places are usually hard to clean, but because they also require a deeper more complex method of cleaning, or so you thought. Let’s take a look at some tips you can use to turn the normally terrifyingly difficult job of deep cleaning, into a breeze.
Sink Drains
Your sink drains are usually hardly ever cleaned, and as a result they tend to build up a lot of grime along the insides, clogging it like an artery and restricting water pressure. One clever trick you can use to clean your pipes is to mix baking soda and vinegar together in a bowl, and pour it down the drain.
You should see that your pipes have been relieved of their build up almost instantly, and for an extra touch you can throw some lemon wedges down the drain as well, for a nice lemony scent that will waft up and out of the drain.
Advanced Bookshelf Cleaning
Bookshelves collect dust just like any other stationary object that sits around your house. But due to the often unique material used to build them, they can trap dust in a way that other stuff doesn’t. Use a magnetic cloth to wipe them down and watch how quick and easily the dust and stuff that was trapped disappears.
A New Way to Remove Carpet Stains
If you aren’t the owner of a fancy carpet cleaner, removing carpet stains can seem like a distant fantasy. There is however, a way you can combine some simple household items like Macgyver and put together a combination that will put a steam cleaner to shame. First, mix together some vinegar and water, and spray the stain with it. Then, get a washcloth and put it over the stain before placing a hot iron over the top of the washcloth and beginning to iron over the stain. You will be amazed at how fast the patch of carpet that was stained returns to its former glory.
Is It Brighter In Here?
Light Bulbs tend to accumulate a lot of dust that lowers the amount of light shining through them. Wipe them down with a microfiber cloth and be astonished at how much brighter your house suddenly has become.
