Cleaning window blinds and shutters is another tricky thing that we tend to neglect when we deep clean. This is normal since we can’t really see the dust, so it is a common thing to forget about it.

Also, we seem to neglect them because they are difficult to clean, but not anymore: just dip a sock in a mixture of water and vinegar and run it over the blinds. Then, use another dry sock to dry it off.

Toilet

How much difficult it is to run housekeeping cleaning and not to neglect your bathroom? Every time we were having guests over, my mom seemed to be taking care of the toilet more than anything.

Maybe she thinks, like many people, that having a dirty toilet is embarrassing. Fortunately, cleaning a toilet is now easy with a can of coke. Just pour a can of coke into the toilet and leave it for around one hour and flush it all out.

Iron

Whether you are one of those people who use their iron on daily basis or you are using it once a week, you should take into account that your iron needs to be taken care of every once in a while.

The fabric can leave gunk on the surface of your iron, and one of the easiest ways to remove it is by sprinkling some salt over a sheet of paper and run the iron over it.

Toys

Your child’s health is a really serious matter, and toys spend a huge amount of time on the floor and other dirty surfaces. Thus, it makes sense that you should clean them up.

Even if the toys are new, and you have just unboxed them, it would be better to clean them since they spend a big amount of time in that box, so they could gather all kinds of germs. So simply throw your toys in a dishwasher with a short cycle.

Sponges

You don’t have to throw away or replace your sponges every time you run a whole house cleaning, we know that they don’t cost much sometimes, but every penny you save, you can use it for something else more valuable.

You can simply place the kitchen sponges in your microwave and run it for a couple of minutes. This way, you will end up cleaning all the germs and bacteria off them. Just make sure you place them when they are wet.

Cabinets

We are all on the lookout for effective but cheap cleaning products that allow us to expend fewer efforts in rubbing and scrubbing. Our wooden cabinets usually get messed up with grease built up when we are cooking.

When we let that build up sit for a while, we end up having an unsightly crime scene in our kitchen. In order to avoid these problems, mix vegetable oil with a small portion of baking soda to make a paste. Then, use a toothbrush to rub the cabinets and go over with a towel when you finish.

Oven

Other beneficial DIY home cleaning products’ tips will show you how to take care of your oven. We understand how much difficult and frustrating cleaning ovens can get, so try the following: mix water+ vinegar+ baking soda in a bowel.

Then put the mixture in a dish and place it in the oven rack. Set your oven to heat up for 45 minutes and then simply use a piece of cloth to mop the annoying gunk and have a fresh oven.

Mattress Stains

If you cannot see your mattresses under the sheets, it doesn’t mean they are clean. Actually, mattresses are dirtier than you think, and a combination of sweat and food stains among other things sticks to these mattresses.

That’s the reason why you need to make a mixture using these home cleaning items: hydrogen peroxide+ baking soda+ liquid dish soap. Then put the mixture in a spray bottle and spray your mattress (especially the stained areas) and then use a towel for the rubbing.
