Revolutionize your cleaning routine with 5 lifelong tricks

Feeling overwhelmed? Don’t let the scale of cleaning dampen your spirits. Often, many throw in the towel, forgetting that the task falls to them. Breaking the job into manageable tasks and stages can streamline the process and save time. Dust is a common adversary, settling everywhere and turning into stubborn grime if not regularly cleaned. Yet, some areas inevitably demand attention, challenging as they may be to cleanse fully.

The key to simplifying your cleaning routine is straightforward: tackle each room from top to bottom. Start with high shelves, curtain rods, and mirror frames, and end with vacuuming and mopping the floors. This method ensures no dirt is left behind, speeding up the process. When you're ready to start, these cleaning tricks will ensure efficiency.

Using a standard broom for cleaning often yields subpar results. However, applying double-sided tape to its bristles transforms it into a dust magnet. Similarly, cleaning blinds or louvres can be easy with cloth wipes and tongs. By wrapping the cloths around the tongs, you can clean the slats, effectively trapping dirt.

With its notorious difficulty in cleaning and unsightly appearance, grout in bathrooms or kitchens doesn't require expensive cleaners. A homemade mix of 1 cup of lemon juice and 1 cup of vinegar is an economical and effective cleaner, returning your grout to its original whiteness. Lastly, when it comes to mirrors, forget standard wipes. Instead, use crumpled newspaper to polish the glass. This method leaves mirrors gleaming without the hassle.
