There are many wonderful reasons to love the spring season. It is finally time to open the windows and embrace the fresh air, set the clocks forward to enjoy daylight savings and say goodbye to the freezing cold temperatures that stole our motivation. However, this beloved season also brings with it the most dreaded event of the year: spring cleaning. Although this can be a daunting task, fear not, we have 10 spring cleaning hacks that will help make the process quick and easy.<\/p>\n
You may not know it, but your dishwasher is actually a secret weapon that can help you clean various household items. Some things you can clean in a dishwasher include: refrigerator shelves, removable showerheads, pet bowls, hair\/makeup brushes, plastic kids\u2019 toys, Ziploc bags, vacuum cleaner attachments, air vent covers and even your hub caps.<\/p>\n
Although it sounds counterintuitive, oil proves to be quite the matchup against that greasy grime that builds up on your stovetop and counters. Rather than using harsh chemicals, just grab some vegetable (or mineral) oil and pour a couple drops onto a paper towel. Rubbing the oil over the greasy surfaces will remove the gunk and make your counters sparkly clean. Go over the surfaces with some liquid soap to finish the job.<\/p>\n
Speaking of oil, the most natural way to clean your bathtub is by mixing a teaspoon of any liquid soap with a few drops of essential oils. For instance, great antibacterial oils to use include tea tree oils, eucalyptus, peppermint and rosemary. Adding baking soda with the essential oils will help to remove those tough stains, leaving your bathtub looking and smelling great.<\/p>\n
Since we\u2019re already in the bathroom, let\u2019s clean those sink faucets. Cut a lemon in half and use it to rub out hard water stains and eliminate the rust from metals in your bathroom (or kitchen). Not only will the lemon act as a powerful cleaning agent, it will also produce a pleasant aroma!<\/p>\n
The water rings that have taken residence on your coffee table will shudder at the sight of a hair dryer, which you can use to remove them with ease. Turn the hair dryer to high heat and quickly blow the water rings out of existence.<\/p>\n
No need for foul-smelling cleaning products that leave your windows streaked and blurry. Soak a microfiber cloth with water, wipe the windows horizontally across and vertically from top to bottom and then be careful not to run right through those spotless windows!<\/p>\n
A great way to pick up leftover pet hair in your carpet is by using a tape roller. Simply roll the tape over the floor and watch the smelly hairs stick to the tape, leaving your carpets free of pet dander.<\/p>\n
Cleaning the blinds has never been so easy. All you need is an old sock, white vinegar, and kitchen tongs. Slide the sock onto the tongs, secure it with a hair tie or rubber band, submerse it in a combination of white vinegar and water, then start deep cleaning those blinds.<\/p>\n
We all love our tile, but what we don\u2019t love is that build-up of grime in the grout. For those particularly filthy areas, a mix of hydrogen peroxide and baking soda will do the trick. Dip a toothbrush into the mixture and start brushing that dirt and grime away.<\/p>\n
