1. Use Dryer Sheets for Baseboards

Skip the scrubbing! Wipe your baseboards with a used dryer sheet to remove dust and prevent it from sticking in the future.

2. Microwave Cleaning Made Easy

Fill a bowl with water and lemon slices. Microwave it for 3–5 minutes. The steam loosens grime and makes it easy to wipe away. Bonus: it smells amazing!

3. Squeegee Pet Hair Off Furniture

Got pets? Use a rubber squeegee to remove stubborn pet hair from carpets and couches—way more effective than a vacuum alone.

4. Clean Blinds With Tongs

Wrap microfiber cloths around tongs and secure them with rubber bands. Now you can easily dust both sides of your blinds at once.

5. Sanitize Sponges in the Microwave

Place a damp sponge in the microwave for 1 minute to kill bacteria. Be sure it’s wet—dry sponges can catch fire!

6. Use Vinegar to Clean Shower Heads

Fill a plastic bag with vinegar and tie it around your shower head. Let it sit overnight and rinse in the morning for a mineral-free, sparkling finish.

7. Speed Mop with Socks

Slip microfiber socks onto your feet and do a quick "dance clean" through your kitchen. Fun, fast, and effective!

8. Lemon and Salt for Cutting Boards

Sprinkle coarse salt on a wooden cutting board and scrub with half a lemon. It removes stains and kills bacteria naturally.

9. Toilet Bowl Cleaner for Shower Grime

In a pinch? Use toilet bowl cleaner to remove soap scum from showers. Just be sure to rinse thoroughly afterward.

10. Set a 10-Minute Timer

Don’t have time for a full clean? Set a timer for 10 minutes and tidy up what you can. You’ll be surprised how much you can do in a short burst!
