Tip 3: Fill the lids with hydrogen peroxide
Housewives who think that the most difficult thing is to clean pans from grease and soot, probably have not yet encountered dirty lids. Usually all the dirt accumulates under the rim, and it is not possible to reach it even with a special narrow brush. In this case, ordinary hydrogen peroxide, which is in every first aid kit, comes to the rescue. Take the lid, pour hydrogen peroxide into it, wait 5-10 minutes until the reaction starts and the antiseptic “eats away” the fat, then rinse the lid with warm water. Peroxide is a powerful cleaner and, in addition, an antiseptic, so you can put the lid in order in no time. And to make the cleaning agent as effective as possible, mix a tablespoon of hydrogen peroxide with two tablespoons of baking soda until a thick gruel is obtained. Pour boiling water over the lid to soften the dirt a little, then apply the paste on it (it is more convenient to do this with a dishwashing sponge or toothbrush). Leave the paste on for 15 minutes, then brush the lid again and rinse it with hot water.
Tip 4: Use foil instead of a metal sponge
We are used to using foil exclusively for cooking, but it has other useful uses that many housewives do not even suspect. For example, you can roll a ball out of foil and use it to wash dishes. This life hack comes to the rescue at the moment when you threw away an old metal scraper, hoping that there was another one in the drawer, but it was not there. In terms of efficiency, foil is in no way inferior to conventional metal sponges, easily copes with grease, soot and other contaminants. However, it should be noted that it cannot be used to clean dishes with a Teflon coating, as there is a risk of damaging it.
Tip 5: Wash your acrylic bathtub with grapefruit
Some of the most popular bathtubs on the market are acrylic bathtubs. They are relatively inexpensive, have a pleasant smooth surface, are easy to repair, lightweight and warm to the touch at room temperature. But at the same time, such plumbing has disadvantages, the main of which is the difficulty of care. An acrylic bathtub can be easily damaged if you do not know what kind of cleaning agents can be used. We immediately advise you to abandon aggressive household chemicals. It is better to use natural remedies, such as grapefruit. Cut it into two parts, pour a small amount of sugar on one half of the citrus and wipe the floor and walls of the bathroom well. In addition to the fact that the fruit perfectly removes impurities, it also gives a pleasant, refreshing aroma. We recommend that you immediately after cleaning take a full water bath and relax with relaxing music.
