22 Cleaning tips and tricks that Mr. Clean himself would approve of if he could.
A coffee filter will flawlessly clean your screen without leaving any lint behind. If you prefer using a cleaning solution, spritz it onto the coffee filter and gently clean the screen. Just be sure not to spray directly onto the screen itself.
Baby Oil Faucet Restoration
Dull chrome faucets can detract from your bathroom’s appeal, and restoring their shine without resorting to harsh chemicals can be time-consuming. Here’s a simple method to bring back their mirror-like finish using baby oil and a cotton ball.
Apply a small amount of baby oil to a cotton ball and gently rub it onto the chrome faucet for a few minutes. This will effectively polish the surface, leaving it gleaming. Now, you’ll be able to admire your reflection and take pride in your cleaning achievement.
Granite Countertop Transformation
Granite countertops are a popular choice in kitchens for their beauty and sophistication, but they can accumulate dust, grime, and food stains. With a DIY detergent mix of water, rubbing alcohol, dish soap, and a paper towel, you can easily clean and restore their luster.
Mix two cups of water, one-fourth cup of rubbing alcohol, and six drops of dishwashing liquid. Use a paper towel to gently rub the mixture onto the countertop, effectively disinfecting the surface while removing dust, grime, and any food marks.
Cabinet Hardware TLC
Don’t overlook your cabinet hardware and knobs when cleaning your kitchen. Neglecting them can lead to unsightly dust buildup, affecting both their appearance and functionality. While it may not be considered deep cleaning, it’s certainly necessary.
Take an old toothbrush and lather it up with some oil soap. Gently scrub the hardware and knobs to remove dirt and grime. Wipe these surfaces with a soft cloth or an old t-shirt. Your cabinets will look as good as new in no time.
