Cleaning your kitchen can take a lot of your time away. But don’t worry because there are several cleaning tips and tricks out there that can help you to clean your kitchen in 10 minutes (or even less!). These tips and tricks won’t give you a deeply cleaned kitchen, but it’s an amazing daily exercise as it will ensure that your kitchen never gets unmanageable.

 

 

Step #1: Get all your products and cloths together

This is more important than you think it is: having all your cloths and products together will help you to clean everything a lot quicker. Make sure you’re having all the appropriate products to hand so that you don’t have to waste precious time sourcing the items you need to clean.

 

 

 

 

Step #2: Put rubbish straight away in the bin, don’t leave it in your kitchen

By checking the kitchen and throwing away rubbish, you will soon notice a remarkable difference in your kitchen. When you removed all the rubbish, you’re able to clean without any obstructions.

 

 

 

 

Step #3: Put everything away in the cupboards

In order to be able to clean your kitchen properly, you need to make sure that everything has been put away and is all tidied up. By putting away the things that are cluttering the surfaces this will immediately make the kitchen look tidier.

 

 

 

 

Step #4: Fill your washing up bowl with warm soapy water

Once everything on the surfaces has been removed, find all your dirty dishes in the kitchen (and elsewhere in the house) and put them in your washing bowl to soak.

 

 

 

 

Step #5: Wipe down surfaces

While your dishes are in your washing bowl to soak, use your time wisely and start wiping down all your surfaces. Use a disinfectant and most importantly a clean cloth and your surfaces will be sparkling in no time! If you have a few minutes to spare you could also clean your microwave and clean the hob.

 

 

 

 

Step #6: Wash up your dishes by hand or use the washing machine

Now you need to wash the dishes that have been soaking in the washing bowl. This can be done by hand or by simply loading them into the dishwasher. In the perfect situation, the dishwasher has already been emptied in the morning but if not, this can be done during step 4.

 

 

 

 

Step #7: Sweep or vacuum the floor

Depending on how dirty the kitchen floor is, now is the right time to give it a quick sweep, mop or vacuum. Make sure that if you mop the floor that you leave enough time for it to dry, as otherwise, it will become dirty again.

 

 

 

 

Step #8: Take the bins out

During step #2, you’ve filled your bin up with rubbish, so always remember to empty the bins and to replace the bin with a fresh liner. By doing this, you will ensure that your kitchen will not smell dirty.

 

 

 

 

Step #9: Replace your towels

Congrats! You’ve almost finished your high-speed kitchen cleaning process. Now the finishing touches are important. Make sure you replace your dirty towels with a clean one. It will definitely contribute to a fresher-feeling kitchen.

 

 

 

3 tips for cleaning an oven

3 Tips for Cleaning an Oven

, , , , , , , , , , , , ,

 

The oven is one of the least exciting things to clean. But don’t worry because we’ve got 3 tips on how to clean an oven.

 

 

#1: Use your Dishwasher!

You don’t need to spend so much time on scrubbing racks because your dishwasher is perfectly capable; put them in on the hottest setting and if necessary you can leave them in for the next cycle.

If you don’t have a dishwasher, you could fill your bath with hot water and some washing powder and then leave the racks to soak overnight. All you need to do after that is give them a little scrub the next morning.

 

 

#2: Use bicarbonate of soda

Make a paste with water and bicarb and once your oven has cooled, spread the paste over the walls and bottom of the oven (but make sure you are avoiding the elements) and leave it like that for at least an hour (leaving it like that overnight would be even better).

After that, a simple wipe with a cloth should get all the grease out of there.

 

 

#3: Steam it

If your oven isn’t very greasy and dirty, just bake an oven pan of water for like 20-30 min on the hottest setting. Switch the oven off after that and allow it to cool down before opening the door, then wipe with a damp cloth. That’s it!

How to Keep Your Home Clean When Living with Pets

Yes, pets sure are really cute! But the mess they leave behind is far less cute. But don’t worry, because after reading these tips you will know how to keep your home from becoming a mess.

 

 

#1: Make sure you’re brushing your pet’s hair regularly.

Prevent your pets from leaving their hair everywhere by making sure you’re brushing their hair on a regular basis; the brush will catch most of their hair.

The easiest brush to use is a rubber glove brush.

 

 

 

 

#2: Use lint rollers!

Lint rollers are not always to be only used for your clothes – you could also use them to get rid of loose fur on your pillows and curtains for example. It’s a fast way to remove these annoying little hairs from your small furnishings.

 

 

 

#3: Use the vacuum cleaner on your dog

There are a lot of pet-friendly attachments such as the Dyson Groom, which is designed to remove loose fur without hurting the dog’s delicate skin. If your pet doesn’t like to be vacuumed, you can try to hold the brush 5 centimetres away from their fur.

 

 

 

#4: Wash their toys in hot water

You can easily clean your dog’s hard plastic or rubber toys in your dishwasher. Add some vinegar instead of detergent and turn on a full cycle.

 

 

 

#5: Clear up urine stains

Even pets suffer from having accidents from time to time. If something like this happens, treat it by blotting with a clean towel to absorb as much as possible. After that’s done, mix up a solution of 50% white vinegar to 50% water, then pour it onto the stain and scrub it with a brush. Pour over some bicarb soda to create a bubbling mound. Let it absorb for a few minutes and then wipe and vacuum up.

 

tips on how to do your laundry

Tips On How To Do Your Laundry

, , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Washing your laundry can take away a lot of your free time.  And there is a big chance you even may be doing it wrong!  But with these few tips we wrote down below, we can help you to make your life a lot easier.

 

 

Tip #1: Don’t add too much soap!

 

A lot of us do not realize that too much soap can not only hurt the fibres of our clothes, but can also make our clothes even dirtier – soap contains a lot of fat and if you impact the fibres with too much fat it will attract dirt. So it is important to realize that too much soap will cause your clothes to get even dirtier, and we are pretty sure it is not your intention to do so.

 

 

Tip #2: Add two tablespoons of bicarbonate of soda and two tablespoons of white vinegar to each wash

 

If you want to achieve the best results possible, then we suggest you to definitely add two tablespoons of bicarbonate of soda and just two tablespoons of white vinegar to each wash.

 

 

Tip #3: Skip fabric conditioner – it can add oil to your wash

 

Fabric softener is mostly oil based and all it is actually doing is just sticking some oil in the wash – which is something you definitely do not want to happen after you read Tip #1.

 

 

 

Tip #4: Use less detergent than it says on the box

 

Always use way less laundry detergent than the amount they are telling you to use on the box; in many cases, your wash is way better off when you are using less than is suggested on the box.

If you want to have no smell left at all, you should put some vinegar in the fabric conditioner slot.

 

These methods will help you to cut your drying time by a third.
