However, there are many useful tips that can significantly reduce this time and that can be used anywhere in the world.

O awesome.club presents simple and effective tricks for cleaning and keeping everything in order at home. Some are worth trying simply for their originality. Don’t miss the fun bonus at the end of this text.

Cleaning the numerous blind slats is not comfortable, especially when the cloth “struggles” to snag on them and slip between your hands. But the old sock, with the hand inside, will make such an arduous task easy and quick.

To easily clean the refractory molds, you can use a ball of aluminum foil with a small amount of dish soap.

To make copper utensils shine, apply a little ketchup to their surface and, with the help of a sponge, spread it out in circular motions. Then wipe the remnants with a dry napkin and wash. For particularly “stubborn” soiled areas, it works to add a little salt.

To clean the dirt and dust that collects in the corners of PVC windows, sprinkle the surface with baking soda and pour a little vinegar over the top. Let it act between 5 and 10 minutes and then use a toothbrush to remove the substance, from the corner to the center, and then remove it with a napkin.

Removing dirt trapped under the rim of the toilet bowl will be much easier if its surface is pre-treated. To do this, use several layers of napkins or paper towels soaked in vinegar. Then place them under the rim of the toilet bowl, letting it act for several hours. Then just remove them.

To make faucets shine, apply a small amount of toothpaste to them and wipe them with a cloth.

Quickly removing pet hair from upholstery or carpeting is possible if you use conventional (rubber) cleaning gloves, as it attracts such residue and dirt.

Cleaning stainless steel surfaces such as faucets is easy by applying shaving cream to them and then drying them. In addition, the cream can be used as a stain remover for carpets.

To disguise small scratches on wooden furniture, you should rub them with a walnut (Brazil nuts also work), which contain natural oils. Then simply polish the surface with a soft, dry cloth. Thanks to this, scratches will become less visible.

An excellent product for polishing and shining the steel surfaces of appliances, such as microwaves, kettles or toasters, is alcohol. Just a few drops will be enough to clean this type of equipment with a soft cloth.

Don’t forget to stay organized when it comes to storing various things and objects at home. This not only cuts down on the time it takes to clean them, but also on how often it’s cleaned since everything will be in place.

To ensure that the objects in the drawers do not end up getting mixed up and are easier to find, you can choose to use containers, organizers or small trays. Place them at the bottom of the drawer and separate the appropriate accessories in them.

The inside of the cabinet doors can also be used to save space and keep things tidy. Just attach some hooks or shelves to it to place different cans, bottles and brushes. This trick can also be used for pantry doors.

Folding and placing vertically, in rows, the towels and clothes that are stored in the drawers will help you find what you are looking for more easily.

The ironed and folded sheet sets can be stored comfortably, each in its corresponding pillowcase.

A vertical filer for office paper can be used not only in the bathroom as a toilet paper holder, but also, for example, in the kitchen: for storing cans, trays and baking sheets.

So that the toilet brush can really dry after use and does not remain “rotting” in its holder with the remnants of drained water, you can fix it for a while between the toilet bowl and its seat.
