House Cleaning Hacks to make your life easier

We love house cleaning hacks to make life easier

Why not use lemons to sanitise your kitchen sink and waste pipes.

When your sink or waste starts to smell, the odour can overpower your whole kitchen. But who doesn’t love the vibrant scent of fresh lemon? This hack lets you smell that invigorating scent all the time. Even better? It couldn’t be easier. An added bonus? Your kitchen sink waste won’t just smell better, it will work better, too!

Clean the inside of your dishwasher.

Your dishwasher works hard to keep your dishes clean but to keep working its best, it needs to be cleaned, too! We’ve got some great hacks that will help eliminate grimy buildup in your dishwasher so it can get your dishes sparkling clean while also eliminating any drainage problems you may be experiencing. The best part? You’ve already got everything you need for this task within arm’s reach.

Use Borax to clean (almost) anything.

If you’re not already a fan of Borax, you’ve been missing out. Simply put: Borax is one of the most useful cleaning products around. Check out the link below to learn more about this wonder mineral along with the many ways — 31, but who’s counting? — you can use it around your house! From cleaning your carpets to dissolving sticky messes to deodorising a mattress, there are near-endless ways to put Borax to work. You can even feed your fruit trees with it!

Deodorize your garbage can.

Why settle for a smelly garbage can when you can eliminate those odours completely with homemade deodorising disks? A fabulous fix for stinky rubbish bins and litter boxes, these quick-to-make, easy-to-use disks get the job done with minimal effort. And did I happen to mention they’ll leave your home smelling fresh and clean — in the scent of your choice, either lavender or lemon — for an entire month?

Clean the inside of your oven (the easy way).

Of course, it’s not just the racks that need cleaning; the inside of your oven needs cleaning, as well. If you’ve ever spent hours scrubbing the inside of your oven in an attempt to get it clean, this may well be one of your least favourite household cleaning tasks. The best part? Most of the work takes place overnight while you sleep.

House Cleaning Tips

House cleaning tips based on our day to day experience of cleaning all sizes and types of property.

1. Fill your home with soothing smells

The calming effects of certain fragrances have been known for centuries. So if you drop some essential oils in your bath for a relaxing soak, why not extend this and fill your home with fragrance to help you unwind while you’re doing your household chores? At First Choice Cleaners we love to use products that will release the scent of spring around your home as we mop wooden floors or blitz the bathroom.

Fragrance is great when it comes to sleep, too, as it helps you to drift off and slumber soundly – and a good night’s sleep is great for stress relief. For this, we suggest you may wish to spray your bedding and cushions with fabric scents every day to eliminate bad odours and leave a fresh, subtle smell in the air. You can also find some great suggestions in this article from Better Homes and Gardens

2. Take your stress out on the house

Many experts believe that hitting inanimate objects can help externalise any stress and anger you might be feeling inside and thereby provide stress relief. And while we don’t condone hitting things, plumping up your cushions is a great way to vent some pent-up aggression. And you end up with firmer-looking cushions. Result!

Indeed, every morning, we “karate chop” our bed cushions to get them looking just-so, and to help set up for the day ahead! Other household chores to try include using a dry hand squeegee to scrape all the hair and fur out of your carpet. So satisfying! Also, achieving a tough cleaning job can make you feel great: try tackling the grimy underside of your pots and pans for a satisfying cleaning task.

3. Make a productivity checklist

Every Friday, its good to grab a notepad and pen and makes your way around the house, making a list of household chores that need doing. In particular, those jobs that aren’t part of your regular routine, but have been bugging you: messy food cupboards, disorganised drawers, dirt build-up around the windows, and so on.

Getting these jobs down onto paper helps to prioritise and fix a goal for that day – although make sure it’s realistic for the time you have, otherwise you’ll just stress yourself out more! Plus, as you make your way through the list, the sense of satisfaction when ticking off each task is great for stress relief. After all, cleaning your house is something you can control.

4. Clear out clutter

A cluttered home makes for a cluttered mind, so it’s important to keep your home free of unnecessary knick-knacks. We are huge fans of using baskets and storage to help organise the home.
