7 smart cleaning hacks for tricky jobs
Cleaning can sometimes be a challenge, especially when it comes to those tricky jobs we all run into from time to time. Fortunately, there are some clever hacks you can use to tackle even the most difficult cleaning jobs. From stubborn stains to clogged drains, we've listed the 7 most difficult jobs for you.
1. Remove stubborn scale:
Lime scale can be a real nightmare, especially in the bathroom. But don't worry, you can easily tackle it with a bathroom cleaner. Fill a bag with the cleaner and possibly some natural vinegar, tie it to the faucet or shower head and let it soak for a few hours. The combination of the cleaner with the vinegar will loosen the scale, making it easy to wipe away.
2. Cleaning greasy kitchen cabinets:
Greasy kitchen cabinets are no fun to deal with, but fortunately there is a simple solution. Mix equal parts water and dish soap, optionally add a few drops of asian and use this mixture to wipe down the cabinets. The degreasing agents in the dish soap will help loosen the grease.
Natural dish soap is also suitable for this purpose and is even better, for both people and the planet. In fact, there are plenty of effective natural degreasers; these ingredients are often used in natural dishwashing detergent
3. Remove rust stains:
Rust stains can be tricky to remove, but with a little tartar powder (cream of tartar) you can tackle them easily. Make a paste of water and tartar powder, apply it to the stain and let it soak in for a few hours. Then scrub away the stain and rinse with water.
4. Unclogged drains:
A clogged drain can be a real headache, but fortunately you can often solve it with a little baking soda and vinegar. Pour a cup of baking soda followed by a cup of vinegar down the drain, let it fizz and bubble and then flush with hot water.
In addition, do you have any unpleasant odors? Then you can place a dishwasher tablet in the sink and pour hot water over it several times until the tablet is completely dissolved. A natural aid for unpleasant odors in the kitchen.
5. Treat stubborn stains on carpets:
Stains on carpets can be tricky to remove, but you can tackle them easily with this natural stain remover. Moisten the stain with some water and scrub over it with the stain remover. Then try rinsing it out with some water. This powerful soap is useful because you can target the stain very precisely without damaging the fabric or surface.
Don't have a stain remover handy? Then use a mixture of water with vinegar and gently dab with a cloth and repeat if necessary. For oily stains, you can also use cornstarch to soak up the grease.
6. Clean caked-on pans:
Caked-on pans can be a nightmare to clean, but with a little vinegar, you can get them like new again. Fill the pan with water and add a cup of vinegar, bring to a boil and simmer for a few minutes. Let cool and then scrub away the residue.
7. Discolored residue in the washing machine:
Discolored residue between the folds of your washing machine may look dirty. This indicates that you probably hardly ever run a wash at a high temperature (read: from 60°C). But don't worry because with a dishwasher tablet you're already halfway there: put the tab in the washing machine, without adding wax (!) and run the machine on a boiling wash (90°C).
A clean machine also makes for clean laundry, by the way!
