20 Simple Homemade Cleaner and Cleaning Tricks

By Stacey Graham

homemade cleaner and cleaning tricks image

Cleaning your home is one of the least favorite things for most of us. To make things worse to keep our house clean costs time and money for expensive products and accessories. That’s where homemade cleaning products and tricks come in handy.

We found several excellent tips and homemade cleaner recipes to share with you. Hopefully, these DIY cleaning solutions will come in handy when you are doing your day to day house cleaning.

Cleaning Stained Mugs

One thing coffee mugs are frequently subject to is, you guessed it, coffee. And less great, coffee stains. If you get to the stains right away, you can usually get them out with little more than some vigorous scrubbing, but if you have left the stained mug to sit for any length of time, removing those brown discolorations can be a true nightmare. This method will help!

Iron Cleaning

Anything you put on clean clothes should be clean itself. Even though you just use your iron on clean items, that doesn’t mean it still can’t get dirty over time.

Obviously, if there is any gunk or spots on your iron, you should clean it. But also, if your iron drags at all when you move it, it’s definitely time to clean it. Here’s how to best clean an iron.

Dust and Clean Your Lampshades

Lampshades are awkward to clean because they are weird shapes and can’t usually be gotten wet. They have to be cleaned regularly though since dust sticks to them so easily. The simple and most effective way to clean them is just to use a lint roller. The roller will gather up all the dust and leave your shade clean and dust-free!

Car Cleaning Tips

Lint rollers can also be used in cars for quick clean ups. If you are ever in doubt on how to clean car upholstery, this strategy is particularly great if you have pets that sometimes take car rides. After the ride, you can quickly get up any pet hair left behind with the lint roller.

Plus, the rollers are small enough to fit between seats and in other hard-to-reach places and can be stored right in your car. For this and other ways, lint rollers can be used, check here.

The Perfect DIY Drain Unclogger

What works better at unclogging drains than Drain-O? Ever wondered how to best unclog a drain? What’s more environmentally friendly and safe for you, your family, and your pets than Liquid Plummer?

What do you probably have in your house right now that will unclog that stopped up drain? Use it as the best natural vinegar and baking soda drain cleaner you can get. This combo, when combined, creates a chemical reaction that is both fun and functional.

Cleaning Laminate Floors

Laminate flooring is popular because it’s a relatively inexpensive alternative to real wood flooring, and yet looks pretty much as good as wood when new, and because it’s easier to clean than wood. Even though it is easier to clean than wood, it still requires some upkeep to maintain that like-new shine. These homemade floor cleaner tips will keep that floor looking new for years.

Make Faucets Shine Again

Thanks to all the water constantly splashing onto your faucets from dishwashing, tooth-brushing, hand washing, or filling up glasses or pots; your faucets end up with water spots almost immediately after they have been cleaned. However, there is an easy trick that will help you clean those spots with ease and help them stay clean.

Removing Cutting Board Stains

Over time, those bright white cutting boards end up getting a little dingy and discolored. This can make them look dirty even when they are freshly cleaned and scrubbed.

To help bring the white back to your cutting board, you don’t want to use any potentially harmful chemicals, and you don’t have to. All you need is a lemon. For extra tough stains, use salt as well.

Smelly Towels

We all know towels start to smell after they have been used a few times, but why are they sometimes still a little smelly once they have been washed and dried. The answer is actually in that fabric softener and detergent you use. Both can build up on your towels over time and create that not-so-clean smell even after the towels are washed. This easy method will eliminate that problem, however.

Cleaning Burned Pots and Pans the Homemade Way

Even when you get your pots and pans clean, they still may not be a shiny as you like if they are older. You can keep even your old pots and pans looking shiny and new with a single, simple ingredient. All you need is some Dr. Bronner’s Castile soap. Castile soap is a vegetable oil-based soap that will both clean and shine. Check it out.

DIY Carpet Cleaner

Have stubborn carpet stains that just won’t go away? This method of removing stains works so well it’s dubbed a “magic” solution. You’ll need to take a couple passes at the stain, and if it’s a fresh stain, you’ll need to make sure that you’ve gotten all the excess liquid up before you start. Then, all you need is baking soda, dishwasher soap, white vinegar, and a white washcloth and you will get the best homemade carpet cleaner and super-cheap.

Computer Keyboard Dust Removal

Keyboards are tricky to clean both because they have lots of little moving parts that dirt and grime can get between and inside of and because they have electronic parts so they can’t get wet. You aren’t stuck with a dirty keyboard until you by a new one, however. You can get those keyboards clean with this safe and effective method.

Homemade Granite Cleaner

Granite countertops are a tricky thing to clean. Most commercial cleaners that work fine on other types of surfaces can damage or scratch granite. Luckily, you can save money and save your granite if you know how to clean countertops. Make a homemade recipe using hydrogen peroxide, dish soap, and essential oil. Combine the ingredients in a spray bottle for easy application and get to work!

Permanent Marker

Permanent marker is, well, permanent. The name says so. But I’m going to tell you a secret. The name lies. Permanent marker isn’t permanent, even if some artistic rugrat got a hold of one and decided your hardwood floor was a great place to draw. In fact, all you need to get rid of that marker stain is toothpaste. Don’t believe me? See for yourself.

Oven Glass Cleaning Tip

Of course, you know to wipe down the outside of the oven glass. And you know to wipe down on the inside of the oven glass. But do you know how to wipe down in between those two panes of oven glass? You don’t need to take your oven door apart as you might think. In fact, you only need a few household items to get that tricky glass inside the oven door. This oven cleaning tutorial will show you how.

Make Your Sneakers White Again

If your sneaker soles used to be white but are now sort of a dingy grey color, even after they are washed, it may be time for from more extreme brightening solutions. The best thing for those shoe soles is toothpaste. Make sure you aren’t using a gel though. Just use the standard white version to keep from undoing your hard work.

Bathroom Cleaner and Tub Scrub Recipe

If you are looking for an all-natural way to clean your bathroom, this recipe is perfect for you. The homemade tub scrub contains three simple ingredients: baking soda, eggshells, and essential oil. The eggshells are crushed to make a calcium powder that gets those tubs scrubbed clean. You can add the essential oil of your choice to create the perfect scent for your cleaner.

Homemade Grout Cleaner

Since grout is usually slightly recessed in the floor or walls, your standard mopping or sponging off of the floor or walls don’t usually get the grout particularly clean. This oversight becomes obvious when your grout starts to turn not-so-clean colors. Don’t worry, though! This homemade cleaner is designed specifically for grout and will have yours looking like new in no time!

DIY Cleaner For Cloudy Eyeglasses

Particularly if you have hard water, you’ll find washing your glasses will result in the glasses become cloudy. This can be a frustrating problem since it is the thing you are using to clean that is making it look dirty. However, this homemade eyeglass cleaner will banish those clouds from your glasses and keep that glassware looking crystal clear and clean.

The Best Homemade Window Cleaner

The biggest trouble with cleaning windows is all the streaks most cleaners leave behind. It’s so difficult to clean windows or mirrors without there being at least one streak left to mark where you cleaned. However, don’t think you have to be stuck with streaky windows forever. This window cleaner will let you have streak-free windows every time you clean!

It’s probably your detergent or fabric softener, but a little baking soda and vinegar can fix it right up and make those towels smell great again. Check out how here.

All you need is Dawn dish soap and vinegar (and about an hour to let it sit).

 

Bathroom Upkeep

But this no-scrub method will have those burners like new in no time, with minimal effort from you!

 

Shower Head

areal-lifehousewife

After awhile, particularly if you have hard water, your shower head will get calcium deposits and need to be cleaned.

Luckily, cleaning your shower head is easy. All you need is a baggy and some vinegar. Check out how to clean your shower head with these directions.

 

Vodka Cleaning

thebar

Use vodka to clean windows, deodorize clothes, and shine kitchen sinks. And that’s only a few things vodka can be used before besides drinking. You can even use it to help preserve cut flowers and to kill weeds (just depends on how much you use and what you mix it with). Check out how to use vodka for these cleaning tasks and several others right here.

 

Clean Gas Stove Burners

If it’s been awhile since you took the burners and drip pans off your stove and gave the gas stove burners a good cleaning, you’re probably frightened by all the burnt on gunk that’s been hiding under there.

Shower Mold

Unfortunately, it is tough to get rid of. This tutorial will tell you how to remove the mold and keep it gone. Best of all, you just need two items: bleach and cotton beauty coils (cotton balls would also probably work, but depending how big the moldy area is, you’ll need a lot of them)

 

Vacuum Cleaners

Vacuum cleaners do a great job cleaning, but only if they are cleaned regularly themselves. Vacuum cleaners may appear to be difficult or time-consuming to clean, but they really aren’t! Each vacuum cleaner has a slightly different cleaning method, so be sure to check your instructions. If you have a Dyson, or if you just want a general vacuum cleaning guide, check this tutorial for detailed pictures and instructions.

18 Smart Cleaning Tricks For Those Tricky Kitchen Items

By Stacey Graham

Kitchens are one room in the house that takes near constant cleaning to keep in any presentable shape (at least if you ever use your kitchen much). Most kitchen items are fairly straightforward to clean, even if they are a little tedious at times. However, there is a surprising number of things in the kitchen that are difficult to clean or that you simply forget to (or aren’t aware you even need to) clean until they are some degree of scary dirty. Never fear! There are plenty of simple solutions to your difficult kitchen cleaning problems, and we’ve gathered more than a dozen here for you.

This handy chart gives you the approximate time popular fruits stay good after they are ripe, even once they are cut in half. Adhere to this chart, and you won’t have to worry about spoiled fruit in your kitchen.

 

Window Blinds

Wood Cabinets

thekitchn

Cabinets are a pain to clean and keep looking good, but wood cabinets may be the worst of the bunch.

Wooden Cutting Boards

You don’t want to clean your wooden cutting boards with soap and water, and they definitely can’t go in the dishwasher, so how do you get them nice and clean? Although for everyday cleaning, just rinsing the board under warm water will do (never let it soak! That will hurt the wood), you need more deep cleaning methods as well. Kosher salt and lemon work wonder to get those boards spotless. Here’s how you use them.

 

Fridge Storage

home-storage-solutions-101

Part of smart cleaning is taking steps not to need to clean as often, or as much). To help keep things in the fridge as fresh as possible for as long as possible (and thus reduce messy clean-up in your fridge or questionable mystery food hanging out in the back), here’s a breakdown of what types of things should go where.

 

Burnt Pans

If the bottom of your pans look like you rescued them from a forest fire, you may think there’s just nothing you can do about it.

Find out exactly how to get the results shown in the picture right here.

 

Refrigerator Coils

Not only do they probably desperately need cleaning, but dirty refrigerator coils raise your electric bill. They are surprisingly easy to clean. All you need is a vacuum cleaner with an attachment. Check it out.

 

Faucet

twotwentyone

Faucets all get calcium build up over time, particularly if you have hard water.

This tutorial will walk you through how to get the best results, including giving you advice on using a Magic Eraser to finish off the process.

 

Oven Liner

target

To keep from having to clean up messy ovens, you can use an oven liner to catch spills. You can also line the bottom rack of your oven with foil or a cookie sheet to serve the same purpose.

Don’t put either on the bottom of your oven though because they could damage your oven by causing it to heat unevenly.

 

Stainless Steel

thediygirl

You don’t need expensive stainless steel polish to get those stainless steel appliances shined up. Pledge actually works wonders. First, you will want to clean the stainless steel to make sure all the grime, grease, and dust are removed. Then, a good wipe down with Pledge will shine those stainless steel items. Check out these directions to see exactly how you do it.

 

Garbage Disposal

Check out this tutorial for the right way to clean that disposal.

 

Coffee Makers

tiphero

Cleaning Granite Countertops

tipsbulletin

Some countertops are easier to clean than others. For those of you with granite counter tops, you might be hard-pressed to find a great cleaner that specifically works on granite.

This homemade granite countertop cleaning recipe is easy to make and is specifically designed to clean without doing any harm to the surface.

24 Thrifty Hacks For The Penny Pincher In All Of Us

By Stacey Graham

thrifty hacksAlmost all of us have had at least one time in our lives when money was so tight we were scrimping on necessities just to pay the rent. Many of us have had more than one time. And even if you can afford the necessities, money can still be too tight to buy things you might really want every now and then.

There are plenty of tricks you can use to save a few dollars here and there so you don’t need to sacrifice those small pleasures in life or so you can keep a roof over your head AND food on the table. Check these out.

1. Reuse Starbucks Cups

weheartit

No one at Starbucks wants to touch your dirty, stained three-month old cup. But if you take care of it, often the staff will overlook the fact free fills are only technically available after you’ve purchased something that day and refill your empty cup when you stop in.

 

2. Reload Starbucks Gift Cards

hijustsmile

Reloading your Starbucks gift card can also grant you free rewards.

 

3. Share Wi-Fi

glitter-infusion

 Split WiFi with roommates or neighbors to cut down on the cost.

 

4. Threaten to Cancel your Cable

digitallanding

Often (not always) if you call your cable company saying you are going to cancel your cable because you’ve found a better rate, they will offer you a discount. This works best when you can quote them actual prices from other companies.

 

5. Cancel Your Cable

quickmeme

If money is really tight, you may need to bite the bullet and actually cancel your cable. However, cable companies often offer deals to new customers, so if you have a roommate, he or she may be able to sign up for cable again at that discounted rate.

 

6. Buy Gift Cards Online

freegiftcardhub

Gift card outlets (or the company in question’s website) often sell gift cards for less than their face value.

 

7. Use Google Voice

theverge

Google Voice works as well as a cell phone and is free. 

 

8. Go to Stylists-in-Training
