Our Best Hacks for a Clean Home This Christmas

Keeping your home clean and tidy is a constant battle, but it doesn't have to be a daunting task. With a few simple cleaning hacks, you can achieve a spotless home without spending hours scrubbing and organizing. Here are ten easy cleaning hacks that will save you time and effort:

1. Use a lint roller on lampshades:
Lampshades tend to accumulate dust and pet hair, making them look dull and dirty. A quick pass with a lint roller can remove the debris and restore their clean appearance.

2. Clean your microwave with vinegar:
Fill a bowl with equal parts water and vinegar and place it in the microwave. Heat it for a few minutes until it starts to steam. The steam will loosen any grime, making it easy to wipe away with a cloth.

3. Refresh your mattress with baking soda:
Sprinkle baking soda over your mattress and let it sit for a few hours. Vacuum it up to eliminate any odors and keep your mattress fresh.

4. Wipe down shower doors with lemon oil:
To prevent soap scum buildup on your glass shower doors, wipe them down with a few drops of lemon oil. The oil will repel water and make it easier to clean in the future.

5. Use a hairdryer to remove water rings:
Oops, someone forgot to use a coaster! If you have water rings on your wooden furniture, point a hairdryer on low heat towards the stain. The heat will help evaporate the trapped moisture, and the ring will disappear.

6. Clean bathroom tiles with a mixture of vinegar and dish soap:
Mix equal parts vinegar and dish soap in a spray bottle and apply it to your bathroom tiles. Let it sit for a few minutes, then scrub with a brush or sponge. Rinse thoroughly, and your tiles will sparkle.

7. Remove carpet stains with shaving cream:
Apply a dollop of shaving cream to any carpet stain and let it sit for a few minutes. Blot the area with a damp cloth, and the stain should lift right off.

8. Launder stuffed animals in a pillowcase:
Place stuffed animals inside a pillowcase and tie the loose ends. This will protect them during the wash cycle. Use a gentle detergent and set your machine on a delicate cycle. Air dry them, and they will come out fresh and clean.

9. Use a fabric softener sheet to clean baseboards:
Attach a fabric softener sheet to a clean mop or broom and run it along your baseboards. The sheet will attract dust and leave a fresh scent behind.

10. Clean your blender with soap and water:
After making your morning smoothie, don't worry about disassembling your blender for cleaning. Instead, blend water with a few drops of dish soap for a quick and easy cleanup.

Keeping a clean home doesn't have to be overwhelming. By using these ten easy cleaning hacks, you can maintain a spotless living space with minimal effort. So, grab your cleaning supplies and get ready to conquer the mess!
