Good tips. I learned the ice pack hack when my kids were younger & still keep a few prepped in the freezer. A jeweler taught me the toothpaste trick years ago & it really does work.
Thanks for the tips. Especially the nail polish hack. The first coat always dries fine but the second coat always gets imprints from blankets, socks whatever…even if I wait hours before going to bed or putting socks on!
Remember that to disinfect with alcohol it must be 70% or higher… also it needs to dry on its own so don’t wipe the surface dry or you have simply cleaned it not disinfected it.
I love cleaning hacks, I saw a couple on here that I didn’t know about and several I had forgotten. Thanks for sharing. Janice, Tn
Very useful hacks. My vacuum gets tons of hair caught because of our long hair. I use a seam ripper to cut the hairs off the rollers. It cuts tough the hairs easier.
I had renters that had never cleaned anything for five years. I honestly didn’t know if cleaning it was even possible, gasoline and matches seemed more realistic. One of the cleaning hacks that I did have huge success with was using toilet cleaner on the grout between the ceramic tiles in the bathrooms. The results were amazing and the bathroom floors honestly looked brand new. (The carpet and kitchen floors didn’t fare as well and had to be replaced. I will NEVER rent again!)
Thanks for the fork tip for hanging pictures, how many times I’ve struggled.
And the graphite tip for locks😀
The best trick for getting deodorant off your clothes is by rubbing with dry pantyhose or knee-hi’s. It doesn’t stretch the area out, doesn’t leave any fiber transfer like with a cloth, and takes only seconds. Thank you for the rest of the tips! I just made the essential oil spray.
I think the rubber glove would work to remove pet hair from fabric without using the stick hairspray – I wouldn’t want the residue on the textiles.
I wonder if silver polish would be safer for your silverware over the long run.
Hairspray also works well on ink-stained fabric, especially if treated quickly and before washing the garment.
Magic erasers are also great for removing marks from painted surfaces.
For the grout cleaner, the hard work is brushing all over with the toothbrush, you could actually.just use warm water and you’d get the same result. Btw Vim clorex powder is the best for it, as it is grainy and has whitening agent which will clean up better and faster than toilet bowl liquid.
For the air freshener, I’ve always poured fabric softener with a little bit of water to dilute it and it smells amazing!
