Twelve Domestic Cleaning Tips

Learn how to clean your home with our list of the best tips ever given. No matter what and how you clean, with our tips, you will do the job just like professional maids would do it. Here are a few killer cleaning tips.

  1. Eucalypt oil removes sticky traces left from stickers and stamps.
  2. Treating marble with car polish leaves a thin invisible layer which helps reduce the risk of stains.
  3. To remove holes in the carpet caused by furniture put a towel on the affected areas and then press with a heated iron. The heat will lift the fibres. Don’t try that on synthetic or woollen-synthetic carpets.
  4. Light a match and let it burn out; that way, you will remove the smell from the toilet.
  5. In order to stop the steam on the bathroom mirrors, often treat them with dry soap and then wipe them with a clean towel.
  6. Don’t put clothes with thin straps on hangers because they may not resist.
  7. In order to remove oil from silk clothes, slightly scrub the place with maize flour and then carefully clean it up with a brush. Cover the stain with more maize flour and leave it like that for a few hours. Remove the flour from the garment and wash it by hand or use the light programme of the washing machine and do that with soap which is appropriate for such delicate materials.
  8. In order to keep spiders and other unpleasant surprises away from your shoes (garden shoes, boots, etc.), put old socks over them. Make sure the socks don’t have holes and can cover the opening of the shoe. In case they don’t cover it well, use an elastic strap.
  9. In order to make candles burn longer, cover them with a plastic bag and put them in the freezer for twenty-four hours before using them.
  10. In order to avoid freezing and frosting of your car’s windscreen during the winter (most often at night), mix vinegar and water in a ratio of 3:1, put it in a sprayer bottle and spray it only when needed.
  11. If you don’t want buttons to fall from your clothes, apply some transparent nail polish on the thread (where the button is attached) and let it dry.
  12. In order to remove powder from flower stamen, take a piece of Scotch tape about five cm long, slightly press the sticking surface to the place and remove it slowly. Repeat that with clean Scotch tape if necessary. Don’t try and brush it.
