Use the tools at hand
No need to run to the store for expensive cleaning products - the answer to cleanliness may be at home. A simple combination of warm water and dish soap will become your all-purpose assistant in daily cleaning. Forget about buying expensive products from the store - your own detergent will do the job.
And when it comes to disinfecting, you don't have to spend money on special products. A simple solution of bleach and cold water will be an effective solution (half an ounce of bleach per liter of water). So go ahead and freshen up your home with simple and affordable products - your diamond in the rough is already at your fingertips!
Don't forget to clean your furniture
Do you want your upholstered furniture to please you with its appearance again? No need to resort to complicated methods. Simply make a solution of warm water and dish soap - a versatile stain-fighter.
And for tougher stains, try a real home recipe: apply a little vinegar and sprinkle with baking soda. Let them work their magic for a few minutes and then vacuum gently.
Super clean bathroom
Vinegar, lemon, and baking soda are our faithful allies in the fight for cleanliness and freshness. These products without toxic chemicals will become your reliable helpers.
Baking soda, which is slightly abrasive, will easily remove soap and dirt from the bathroom, leaving only cleanliness. Just remember that you should be careful on natural stone or polished marble.
Once your bathroom shines, why not give yourself even more joy? New towels will be the final touch to your oasis of cleanliness.
And keep your bathroom cleaning supplies handy
Keep cleaning products and tools close at hand, even in the shower. By wiping down the shower enclosure after you take a shower, you not only create minimal moisture, which helps reduce mold and mildew, but also radically simplifies the overall cleaning process. This way, the thought of a clean bathroom is no longer a fearful one.
Find those hidden stains
With the help of a special device, you will find invisible stains. The ultraviolet light of the device, which costs about $20 on petco.com, will allow you to find hidden dirt. This nifty device also helps you detect even the trickiest pet stains.
Dust with efficiency
Start with the highest points on shelves and furniture. Add dish soap and a few drops of essential oil such as tea tree or lavender to warm water and you'll not only get perfectly clean surfaces, but also a pleasant scent in your home.
Make your bed like a hotel
Start by spreading the sheet in the center of the bed, spreading it evenly around the perimeter. Pull the sheet as tightly as possible on both sides before tucking it in. Add luxury with "hospital corners" - an important element for creating a luxury hotel look.
Place the blanket in the center, tucking it neatly at the bottom of the bed. Shake it to get rid of wrinkles and smooth it out. We recommend using high-quality Egyptian cotton sheets made in Italy. Use flat sheets instead of fitted bottom sheets to achieve perfect smoothness.
To remove creases, lightly spray with water and gently pull the sheet from the bottom. Smooth each pillow from the middle to the edges to make them fluffy and arrange them straight up for a finished and cozy look.
An important detail
Pay attention to a corner that is often overlooked - your oven. Deep cleaning your oven can be a most enjoyable experience if done right. Use The Pink Stuff to clean the inside of your oven. It's a slightly abrasive cleaner designed to get rid of oil and deposits, leaving your kitchen feeling fresh and clean.
It's not just cleaning, it's a journey to cleanliness, satisfaction and comfort in your home.
