Fast and Cheap Cleaning Tips 1

Very few people like cleaning, and it seems even fewer people have the time to do so, cleaning is like exercise, it should cost as little as possible, below are some tips that can help you clean faster and cheaper!
  1. Microwave.

Trying to clean a microwave is an absolute nightmare, the dirt seems to get encrusted so thoroughly and so very quickly.

Forget fancy, expensive sprays that are loaded with chemicals, simply place half an inch of warm water and half an inch of white vinegar into a microwaveable bowl, heat on high for about three minutes, the combination of the steam and the vinegar will loosen the encrusted dirt and you will be able to wipe it off with a towel and some warm water. This will also work with a mixture of water and bicarbonate of soda.

  1. The sink.

Never underestimate the power of boiling water! If a sink is dirty, simply put the plug in, add some washing up liquid, pour in some boiling water and leave to soak while you do something else (or put your feet up!) then simply wipe with a sponge and rinse!

  1. The floors.

A couple of tablespoons of bicarbonate of soda added into some warm water will loosen tough stains on hard floors that need mopping, it will also help to eliminate any odours that tend to linger on floors.
