Having a well-cleaned and organized house reflects on our mental state, controlling anxiety and stress. After all, if the environment is dirty and messy, we will feel exhausted and discouraged. What to do then? If buying several expensive products that promise to leave our home spotless crossed your mind, how about giving a chance to some cheap homemade tricks that really work?
We, from awesome.club, we love easy and practical solutions that make our day to day easier, without weighing our pockets down. Do you also like to save and see good results? So, take note of the following tips. In addition, we have prepared a bonus that will improve your look!
1. Create your own ideal all-purpose product to remove grease from appliances
Is your favorite product to degrease appliances and tiles over? We have a solution you can create in the comfort of your own home with just 3 ingredients: water, vinegar and detergent. To prepare this mixture is simple: mix half a glass of water; 4 tablespoons of neutral or coconut detergent; 4 tablespoons of alcohol vinegar. Pour everything into a spray bottle. Shake well and just apply to your devices. Remove excess product with the help of a cloth.
2. Cleaning and perfume for the house
Nothing like a clean and fragrant bathroom, right?! But if you have no idea how to do this, we have an excellent tip for you. You will need: a 200ml glass of alcohol vinegar; 200 ml of water; 1 tablespoon of baking soda (or salt); 4 tablespoons of neutral or coconut detergent and 2 caps of essence or flavoring (or disinfectant). Put everything in a bowl, mix well and then pour it into a spray bottle. And shake well every time you use the product.
3. Leave your windows very clean
In a practical and inexpensive way, with only 4 ingredients you will leave your glass shining. For this, you need: 1 glass of water (200ml); 1 tablespoon neutral detergent; 2 tablespoons of alcohol vinegar and 1 tablespoon of 46º or 70º alcohol vinegar. Mix everything in a spray bottle, and you will also need 2 dry rags. Now just use it on glass and mirrors and be happy!
4. Mold free environment
Nothing is more unpleasant and dangerous than mold or mildew. To remove them from the wall, mix a solution with bleach and water, apply it to the area for a few minutes and then remove it with a cloth and clean water. On clothes, including colored ones, you can use: 1 liter of bleach and 1 cup of sugar. Soak the piece in this mixture, without rubbing until the stain is gone, then just wash it normally. Already in the cabinets, use white vinegar.
And don’t forget to wear gloves and even a mask to prevent mold particles from coming into contact with your skin and airways.
5. No more clogged sink
Does the sink water not go down? The drain is probably clogged. To put an end to this annoying problem, the tip is quite simple: put 1 tablespoon of salt inside the drain; a measure of 2 fingers of vinegar (any type) then pour a little boiled water. Then cover the drain with a damp cloth to apply pressure and wait for 15 minutes. Ready!
6. Remove the lime from the grout with only 3 ingredients
You clean multiple times and the bathroom still looks dirty? Write down this tip and get rid of that grout slime: 350ml of warm water; 350ml of bleach and 50g of sodium bicarbonate (the equivalent of a small package). Dissolve the baking soda in warm water, add the bleach and put it all together in a spray bottle and apply it to the grout. This will make it easier to remove the slime, leaving your bathroom looking spotless.
7. Multipurpose paste that makes the pan shine
Do your pans look old and dull? With this recipe, you’ll be able to make them brand new again: 1 pot of ice cream or some other container; 1 bar of soap in grated stone; 500ml of warm water and mix until the soap dissolves, then add 3 tablespoons of sugar; 4 tablespoons of alcohol vinegar and mix well. Wait to cool down until it becomes a paste.
Bonus: unwrinkle your clothes and still leave your house fragrant
If you’d rather leave the house with wrinkled clothes than having to iron them piece by piece, this solution will put an end to your problems! Mix well 100ml of traditional fabric softener (not concentrated) with 100ml of 46º or 70º alcohol and add 800ml of water. Put everything in a spray bottle with a capacity of 1 liter (if you have one with a smaller reservoir, reduce the measurements proportionally), shake well and apply to the clothes, they will smooth out by themselves (or speed up the process by smoothing it with your hands). Because it contains alcohol, the liquid will evaporate, leaving only the smell of fabric softener.
Also, you can take advantage of the mixture and use it on bedding, pillows, towels, curtains and much more! This will leave your home fragrant.
