Carrying around a bucket filled with water is hard enough, so spare yourself some trouble and connect a pool noodle to the faucet while putting the opposite end inside a bucket.

This way the bucket will be filled while it is already on the floor and you won’t have to worry about taking it out of your sink and into the floor – this way you will also avoid the risk of spilling.

#2 – Use Cardboard To Make A Crevice Tool

There are spaces where your room can’t reach and your vacuum can’t reach as well, and in those tight spaces dirt, dust and mites will accumulate, and you won’t even notice it.

But you can use a cardboard tube to improvise a crevice tool, and since cardboard is something you can flatten, you can flatten the end to reach those hard spots, creating a DIY extension of your vacuum cleaner hose.

#3 – Make Your Dustpan More Effective

You have probably experienced by now that your dustpan will not always grab all the dust, hair and dirt, and it can be annoying because as you keep cleaning, some of it falls and stays behind, forcing you to go back to the same spot.

This hack is known by floor cleaning services and you can adopt it – simply get your dustpan wet before using it, this way the water will force all the dirt to stay put and you have an effective sweeping hack.

#4 – Retrieve Small Items

Your vacuum cleaner doesn’t necessarily need to be used just for cleaning purposes – you can take advantage of the suction and get crafty.

If you put a stocking over the vacuum hose, this thin layer will still allow the suction to work through it, and you can use it to retrieve small items you drop under your furniture. The suction will pull them and the stocking will trap it.

#5 – Clean Your Vacuum

Vacuums can give out a nasty smell while you are using them, and if this is bothering you there are some steps you can take.

Scatter some laundry crystals around, or even some ground cinnamon, since it’s a very aromatic spice, and then vacuum them up. The particles will attach to the dust cup and the musty smell will vanish.
