Clean Machine

Need some help with your cleaning chores? Well I have some tips to help you get them done so you can get on with your life! Rubber band your cleaning rag directly to your cleanser, this way it's always ready to grab and go. Speaking of grab and go; spend a little extra and have duplicates of cleaning supplies that you use in more than one room. For example keep some vinegar in a spray bottle under the kitchen sink and the bathroom. This way if someone makes a mess you can easily tackle it right away! I use baking soda all over the house, but there is no way to seal the box so it ends up getting spilled. Solution? Pour it into a shaker. I like the flip top jars that Parmesan cheese comes in. They're perfect; just make sure you label them clearly! Want another double duty tip? Put a stinky sponge in a bowl and cover it with lemon juice or white vinegar in the microwave. Set it high for no more than five minutes and let it sit with the door closed for another ten minutes to cool. The steam and vinegar or lemon juice will cut through grime on the inside of the microwave so you can easily wipe it away. The heat disinfects and deodorizes your sponge at the same time! Make sure you give it that extra ten minutes to cool so that you don't get burned. And be prepared for a strong vinegar smell when you first open the door! Easy steps to turn you into a cleaning machine!
