Try our nifty cleaning hacks from a leading domestic cleaning company, for when you have some hard-to-tackle jobs on your plate, including getting rid of glitter and cleaning a smelly drain to make your home clean that little bit easier. We’ve added some nifty ideas to make home cleaning a little bit simpler, not to mention to achieve a better end result.

Clean the Blender

Impossible to get that blender clean because of dried food and bits stuck inside? Luckily there’s another method to clean it without sticking your hand in with a sponge. Instead, fill with warm water and dish soap, turn it on for 20 seconds, and then rinse!

Clean a Wooden Board

When you want a clean chopping board without soaking it in chemicals, spread lemon juice with salt on top and then scrub it with the sliced lemon. This will help clean and lift odours.

Water Rings On Wood

If you have cup rings on your table, dry them first with a warm hair dryer, and then rub the surface with olive oil, which will help the ring disintegrate.

Drying a Duvet

To avoid any amount of stuffing migrating to one side while drying, add tennis balls with your duvet into the machine. This will help keep everything separate and in place.

Messy Microwave

Fill a microwave bowl with half a cup of water, and lemon juice, then add the lemon pieces and microwave the entire lot for three minutes. Let the steam circulate and soften any mess, then wipe away.

Glitter Mess

Every parent knows that glitter creates an absolute mess. To gather it up, stick some playdough onto the glitter, which picks it right up.

Stainless Steel Appliances

Streaks and fingerprints are obvious on stainless steel appliances, so a little trick to get rid of them is to use surgical spirits and a cloth to wipe away marks. After, apply baby or olive oil for shine.

Clogged/Smelly Drains

Food bits, soap, grime, and hair often get stuck in the drain, leaving a less than pleasant smell. Pour the combination of baking soda, vinegar, and boiling water in and let it soak in the drain for about twenty minutes, then pour more boiling water to clear it.

Cabinet Doors

When you have greasy cabinet doors, clean them with coconut oil and baking soda. Mix some coconut oil with double the amount of baking soda and scrub using a toothbrush. Your cabinets will look clean and new again.

Rusted Cast Iron Skillet

Pour sea salt onto your skillet and scrub in a circular motion using half a potato. This will be moist enough to work the salt and remove rust. Finish by rinsing with water and placing it in the oven to dry out. Finish when dry by pouring a little olive oil in and rubbing it down with a paper towel.
