MONDAY’S: Some More Springtime Hacks
–Yet another glass cleaner DIY recipe: If you want to give your spring cleaning an edge, try this homemade glass cleaner. All you have to do is add 1/4c rubbing alcohol, 1/4c white vinegar, 1 tbsp cornstarch, and then 2c of warm water. We promise it will put your average household glass cleaner to shame!
–If everyday glass cleaner isn’t removing the fingerprints off your glass doors, we suggest trying dryer sheets. Simply wipe them over the smudges and you’ll be amazed by how quickly they rub right off! It’s that easy!
–Bathroom faucets being covered in hard water stains can be eliminated by grabbing a lemon, cutting it in half, and then rubbing it on the faucets with the stains. The citric acid will eat through the stains and leave you with shiny faucets that look brand new!
–Add a Lazy Susan to Your Fridge: If you’re already taking everything out to give the fridge a good scrub, add a lazy Susan to each shelf before you restock. Being able to spin it to access things in the back will cut down on spills and make your next spring cleaning that much easier.
–Wax Your Stovetop: After you’ve scrubbed the grime off your stovetop, apply a thin layer of car wax and then buff it off with a clean towel. Not only will this make it look shiny and new, it will make wiping off future spills a breeze.
–Steam-Clean Your Microwave: To remove old food stains from the inside of the microwave, steam them before you scrub. Fill a microwave-safe bowl with 1 to 2 cups of water, 2 tablespoons of white vinegar, and a few drops of your favorite essential oil and zap the mixture for five minutes.
