Housekeeping Hacks

Most of us hate cleaning.  It's time consuming, boring, and we'd rather be doing almost anything else. These handy cleaning hacks that'll get you finished in no time.

Blender Cleaner
Fill a blender with warm water and a drop of dish soap, then turn it on and blend for a few seconds. Dump, rinse with clean water, and dry.

Clean Your Mattress
Pour vodka into a spray bottle, spritz lightly across your mattress and leave it to air-dry.  The alcohol will kill the odor causing bacteria.

Destroy Water Rings
Soak up excess moisture with a towel, then blast it with a hair dryer while still damp, and they should disappear.

Onion Grill Cleaner
Grab half a white onion and rub it across the grate of the hot grill using a fork.  This will clean the grate, and even leave flavor for next time.

Overnight Oven Cleaner
Put a bowl filled with 1/2 cup of ammonia into a completely cold oven.  Leave overnight and wipe clean the next day.

Pet Hair Squeegee
Clean up your dog's fur by running a squeegee over the carpet.

Sponge Sanitizer
Microwaving a wet sponge on high for 2 minutes kills 99%+ of germs.
