Simple Cleaning Tips to Help Make Your Daily Chores Easier

For many homeowners, household cleaning and tidying can seem to take up a lot of time each day, particularly if there are children living in the household. However, just making the effort to keep a house tidy can help to make life much easier when it comes to cleaning, so by keeping surfaces clear and storing toys and games in boxes to keep rooms clutter free can make a big difference.

Sometimes it is the smallest cleaning tasks that can make the biggest change to the appearance of a room. Here we look at some simple cleaning tips for your home that can have a big impact.

1 – Cleaning your bathroom mirror – By rubbing a standard bar of soap over the surface of your mirror and then buffing it gently with a clean cloth, you can prevent the mirror from steaming up when you bathe or shower. This can help your mirror to stay gleaming and prevent you from needing to buff it clean every time you shower.

2 – Removing sticky finger marks from steel appliances – By simply adding a drop of baby oil to a piece of kitchen roll, you can gently wipe away sticky finger marks left by your children.

3- Cola toilet cleaner – If you are left with half a bottle of flat Cola, rather than pour it away down the sink drain, pour it down your toilet and leave overnight. This helps to dissolve any limescale, leaving your toilet clean.

4 – Removing sticky marks – As well as sticky finger marks, children often leave sticky marks on surfaces should they rip off stickers. A small amount of Eucalyptus oil can completely remove the marks left by children’s stickers with minimal effort.

5 – Cleaning the inside of your microwave – It is important to clean the inside of your microwave on a regular basis in order to help increase its lifespan. By adding around 4 tablespoons of lemon juice to a bowl of water and then microwaving it at a high heat for around 5 minutes, the inner walls of the microwave can then simply be wiped clean afterwards. As the lemon juice evaporates, it helps to break down even tough food stains.

These 5 tips are designed to help make your daily household cleaning tasks a little quicker and easier. You could further look to reduce the amount of time you need to spend cleaning each day by looking to hire professional cleaners in Salisbury to give your home a thorough clean once a week or more. By allowing professional cleaners to do the bulk of your cleaning work, you can then hugely cut down the amount of time that you have to spend on house work per day.
