If you’re planning on doing some house cleaning this weekend then trying out some new, but effective hacks may be what you need. If you find yourself out of your usual cleaning products try using these household items that will surely get the job done.
On top of being a great drink, Coca-Cola can also be used to clean your porcelain toilet, sinks, and bathtubs. Simply pour a can of Coke into a toilet and let it sit for an hour, scrub and then simply flush it clean. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous china.
Before making yourself an afternoon sandwich, use your mayonnaise condiment to give your houseplants a new shine. Simply dust your plants and then use a dab of mayo to shine the leaves up to look brand new.
Been having a hard time trying to get that pesky water stain out your wooden furniture? Then look no further than that jar of mayo sitting in your fridge. Cover the mark with a thick layer of the condiment and let it sit for 48 hours. Wipe it clean with a cloth and Voilà no more stain.
Are you tired of using all your strength to scrub the residue of yesterday’s microwave meal? Add several lemons to a bowl of cold water and microwave for 5 minutes. The lemon helps to release the grease and allows you to wipe clean with a cloth—no scrubbing required.
Baking soda is a natural substitute for bleach, effectively whitening white laundry and preventing yellowing. It can also enhance the brightness of colorful fabrics. Further, because baking soda functions as a natural deodorizer and water softener, it can improve the performance of your detergent and potentially reduce the amount you need.
