Cleaning can be a hassle and time-consuming, but the end result — a clean house — is definitely worth it. Check out these tips to cut down on the time it takes to scrub your house, top to bottom. Just a cleaning method to make the process much more painless and more productive.

Material required:

Baking soda

Vinegar

Old toothbrush 

Microfibre cloth

Distilled water 

Dishwasher soap 

Coconut oil

Cotton

Shaving cream

Clean the grouts: If you are looking for ways to clean dirty grout, dive into the grout-cleaning solution and transform the tile spaces effortlessly. You will need baking soda and vinegar. Mix baking soda with vinegar to make a thick paste and apply it to the grout. Now mix equal parts of vinegar and water, then pour this mixture onto the grout. It will bubble a bit but after 5-10 minutes, scrub it with an old toothbrush. And that’s it. Your grout areas are clean!

Clean your screens: Stop using harsh cleaners on your TV and laptop screens! The safest way is with a microfibre cloth and distilled water. Just dampen, wring and wipe in circular motions for a spotless, streak-free finish. No more dust or stubborn stains! Note — Make sure you don’t use hard water and don’t put a lot of pressure while cleaning the screen.

Clean your exhaust fan: Turn off and unplug the wire. Safety first, always! Remove the mesh and dust off the dirt. Then soak it in warm water mixed with dish soap and vinegar for 15-20 minutes. Now scrub gently with a toothbrush. It’s time to clean the blades. Apply coconut oil with a cotton and let it sit for 10 minutes. Wipe it with a microfibre cloth, grease comes off like magic. Once dried, reattach the mesh properly. Plug it back in and enjoy a fresh, clean and exhaust fan!

Clean your switchboard: Welcome the new member of the hack-home! Shaving foam! We bet there’s no other easy way to clean switchboards. Put off the main switch. Take some shaving foam and apply it on the switchboard using a toothbrush. Don’t apply it on the socket holes. Leave it on for 10 minutes. Scrub it with the toothbrush once. Now wipe it with a microfibre cloth and see the magic. It works wonders.
