Do we have any busy moms reading our blogs? Sure we do. Today's article is our little gift for you. We know how hard it is to juggle a million plates, so we offer 10 quick and easy cleaning hacks for busy moms, just like you.
Kitchen Cleaning Hacks
- Use baking paper to protect your oven from messy cooking. That way you won't have to scrub grime, grease and burnt-on. For maximum prevention, use baking paper under and over the oven racks to minimise any spillage of sauce or other liquid.
- Are you tired of scrubbing pans and pots with burnt-on? You don't have to anymore! Pour water and vinegar inside and let it boil on the stove. Then add some baking soda. Once the liquid cools down, simply wipe off the debris.
- Freshen up your microwave by putting a damp sponge in it for 2 minutes. Then wipe the walls of the microwave with it. Or, place a bowl of water and squeezed lemon in the microwave and run it on full power for 3-4 minutes. Then just wipe with a clean sponge.
Bathroom Cleaning Hacks
- Scrubbing faucets is hard work. Instead, rub a lemon on them for a minute or two and then wipe away the dirty spots with minimal effort.
- Don’t stress yourself with limescale! Here's an amazing cleaning hack for shower heads. Use a plastic bag filled with water and vinegar. Put the shower head inside and secure with a rubber band. Wait for half an hour and simply wipe off the remains.
- Disinfectant wipes are a true blessing for every busy mom! You can use them for work surfaces in the kitchen, to sanitise the bathroom, to polish wooden furniture or even clean the floor.
The Bedrooms and Living Area Hacks
- Worried about germs and bacteria in your bedroom? We have an easy solution! Put vodka or other scentless spirit in a spray bottle and spray your mattress. There you go, your bed is now freshly sanitised.
- You probably hate the word "play-doh" because you associate it with a huge mess. But did you know you can use it to clean up the mess? Roll the play-doh over a dirty floor, for example, and it will pick up litter and other small particles from it. That's it, simple, easy, quick.
- Leave your shoes at the front door to avoid spreading dirt and germs inside the house. Save yourself the struggle of cleaning mud off the carpet. And if you or your family members have hay fever, it is a good way to minimise the pollen and allergens brought into your home.
- OMG, the kids broke a glass! Don’t panic! Pick up the larger pieces and place them safely in the appropriate recycle bin. For the tiny bits use some bread to get them off the floor.
