Clean your couch with baking soda
It’s common for your couch to get dirty or stained after use. To clean it and make it appear as good as new, professional cleaners recommend an effective and easy solution—baking soda.
Baking soda has absorbent qualities, making it a perfect cleaning tool. It can be used to remove dirt and stains on your couch without harming the fabrics.
Simply sprinkle the soda on the affected area, leave it for a few minutes, and vacuum it up. You can also use the method to clean soft furnishings like carpets, rugs, curtains, and pet pads.
Get rid of faucet and steel stains with lemon and salt solution
You see those stubborn stains on your faucet and stainless steel? What if we told you there is an easy and effective way to eliminate them? Professional cleaners advise using lemons to remove stainless steel stains. Not only will this make your stainless steel appear new, but it'll also leave your home smelling good and lemony.
You can also consider combining critic acid from lemon with salt to create an effective scrubbing solution. This solution is ideal for cleaning your faucet and stainless steel areas. The best part? It isn’t abrasive!
Use a squeegee to get rid of hair from your carpet
If you have lots of children and pets in your home, the chances are that your carpets, blankets, and upholstered furniture have hair on them. Rather than rely on your vacuum—which isn’t always effective—to fix this issue, consider this hack from professional cleaners.
Use your bathroom squeegee to scrape off stubborn hair on your rugs and carpets that get pushed down by a vacuum cleaner. Due to their slender shape, squeegees are also effective in getting rid of dust from tight areas of your home.
Clean your glass and mirror with vinegar and newspaper
It's common practice to clean glass and mirrors with cloths. But this method doesn't always do the job effectively. In fact, cleaning your glass and mirrors with clothes can leave smudges, lint, and streaks. For this reason, professional cleaners recommend cleaning your glass and mirror with vinegar and newspaper.
Unlike cloth, newspapers are dense. It also has soft fibers that make it non-abrasive, thus, ideal for cleaning glass. Plus, using a newspaper, which is common at home, can help you save money. You should use vinegar as a cleaning agent for your windows. It's less expensive and less toxic than some typical cleaning agents.
