Use a Ball of Foil to Have Your Silverware Shine
This hack is simple. All you need to do is roll up aluminum foil into a ball and put it in the silverware basket in the dishwasher. Then you run your dishwasher! It’s as easy as that. Your silverware should be nice and shiny by the time you take it out of the dishwasher.
Clean Your Air Fryer with Soap and Water
Using an air fryer is pretty easy and it makes for some yummy meals. It is probably best to clean out your air fryer now and then so you don’t taste the same foods over and over. All you need to do is put soap and water in the air fryer and run it. You will have it clean in no time!
Remove Tomato Stains With Ease
Tomatoes are delicious! However, they lose their appeal when you drop ketchup or tomato sauce on your favorite blouse. This requires a few steps, such as removing the tomato bits from your shirt gently, using a mixture of water, vinegar, and dish soap, and using soaps that break down tomato stains. After you go through the few steps, your item should be good as new!
Keep Soap Scum at Bay
The easiest way to keep soap scum away is to do preventative measures almost every day. Have a squeegee on hand and use it to clean off the moisture on your glass shower doors. This is a quick and easy way to make sure soap scum doesn’t have a chance in your nice shower!
Remove Unwanted Stickers
Stickers can be a cool way to express yourself! However, the stickers that are on the containers you buy are less than attractive. Or if you have a child who stuck stickers on the wall, those are a headache too. The easiest way to get stickers off items? Use a hairdryer! The heat will help loosen the adhesive, making it easier to take off.
Easily Clean Horizontal Blinds
Dust gets everywhere, but it seems to love blinds the most. Cleaning horizontal blinds is not the easiest task, but with this hack, you will be able to clean them in no time! You should get some tongs and two sponges. Cut holes in the sponges, big enough so you can put them on the tongs. Then get ready to see your dust free blinds as you clean them with your new tool.
Have Your Couch Steam Cleaned
Did you know you can steam your couch without having to call professional steamers? Just simmer some water on the stove and add a laundry soap pod to it, waiting for it to dissolve. Once it is dissolved, wrap a clean cloth around a pot lid and dip it in the water. Then you just run it over your couch and you have a steamer you made right at home!
Remove Rust With a Potato
No one likes a rusty item. There are chemical ways to remove rust from items but there is also a more natural way to remove it. Take a potato and slice it a little bit. Then take some salt and use the potato to rub in the salt on the rusty item. This hack might be more time-consuming and needs a little elbow grease to make a dent in the rust.
