It would seem, but what is difficult in cleaning the house? Brush off the dust, my floors, turn on the vacuum cleaner. Well, well, but what to do with the splashes from the bursting cutlet, which are tightly baked to the microwave? How to remove unpleasant sticky substance from the grates after another culinary experiment? Salt, lemon, some alcohol, soda. This is not for the party, this is for the cleaning.

1. Lemon water against stains in the microwave

You can, of course, go the easy way and buy a special microwave cleaner. How much does it cost, remember? And then wipe the stove with gloves, so as not to damage the skin.

There is a cheaper option. Fill a microwave-safe dish halfway with water and squeeze out the juice of four lemons, cut in half. Place the fruit halves in the water / juice mixture, skin side up. Cook this compote in the microwave for five minutes on high power. Then you can pour out the water, discard the lemons, and wipe the microwave with a damp cloth - and everything is clean.

2. And against stains on the mirror

A glass of water and a quarter glass of lemon juice, poured into a spray bottle, replace the glass and mirror cleaning solution. Spray it on the surface and wipe it with a dry cloth.

3. Rubber glove against the wool

Pets wool from carpets, sofas and upholstered seats are best hand-picked. Don't be alarmed. You need to put on a rubber glove on your hand, wet it and just run it over the wool. The hairs coalesce into a ball that can be easily thrown away.

4. Soda against burning in pots and pans

Well, who among us does not know that with the help of ordinary soda you can clean almost everything in the world? If you don't know, then immediately learn this world life hack.

If a layer of burning remains on the saucepan or frying pan, take half a glass of vinegar, half a glass of sugar, and two teaspoons of baking soda. First, pour a mixture of water and vinegar into a saucepan and boil. It's already cleaner, right? Pour the water / vinegar mixture and scrub the bottom with baking soda. If you still have dark spots, just apply a paste of baking soda and water and leave it on for a while. Wash it and let the pan shine!

5. Baking soda and a toothbrush against dirty tiles

You can use baking soda and an old toothbrush to clean out the dirt that has accumulated between the tiles. Soda well removes dirt, mold, micro-debris that accumulates over the years and spoils the appearance of walls and floors. First, just wash the tiles, then thoroughly clean all the seams with a brush and a paste of water and soda. Remove the baking soda with a damp cloth.

6. Ketchup versus darkened silver

Ketchup, of course, is a delicious sauce, but also healthy. The acid in tomatoes is great for cleansing darkened silver. Submerge the silver items completely in the ketchup bowl and let sit for 5-10 minutes. Then rinse with warm water and wipe dry. This method works for both copper utensils and silver jewelry.

7. Soda against dirt in the refrigerator

A solution of four heaped teaspoons of baking soda and a liter of water will help clean the shelves in the refrigerator. Just remember to disconnect the device from the power supply first.

8. Lemon against plaque on the tap

White mineral deposits and water stains can be easily removed by rubbing chrome-plated taps with half a lemon. Yes, just rub it with lemon and dry with a soft cloth.

9. Salt and lemon against dirt on the cutting board

If the wooden chopping board becomes dark and dirty, sprinkle salt on the surface and rub the salt layer firmly with half a lemon. Rinse the already clean board with water.

By the way, you can also clean both the sink and the toilet with salt and lemon.

10. Beer vs. Dull Gold

Rings and other solid gold jewelry will sparkle when wiped with a rag dipped in beer. Just make sure that the metal is free of impurities, the beer is light, and there are no stones in the jewelry.

11. Vodka against the smell of the mattress

Ordinary vodka can be poured into a spray bottle and sprayed thoroughly onto the mattress. Alcohol will kill bacteria that cause bad odor. Vodka, of course, also smells, so before using the mattress you need to dry it well, optimally in the air.

12. Antistatic agent against burning on grates

Grill grates are difficult to remove from strong burns. But if you soak them in warm water for an hour or two, and add a few wipes soaked in an antistatic agent to the water (such impregnation is often found in cleaning wipes for equipment and computers), then there will be no problems with cleaning.

13. Lemon against pipe odor

If you have a garbage shredder in your sink, throw a few lemon halves into it. Freshness and pleasant smell throughout the kitchen are guaranteed.

14. Ammonia against dirt in the oven

Half a glass of ammonia, left overnight in an open dish in a non-working oven, works wonders. Everything that stuck will come off by itself, you just have to wipe it off.
