10 General cleaning hacks for around the home

I have rounded up some of my favourite cleaning tips for you to help keep your home extra clean and pristine. Some of these are so easy and simple to do and will literally take no time at all!

Kitchen Essentials

• G germs: Pop wet sponges or cloths in the microwave for 2 minutes to kill bacteria.
• Kid's Toys: Plastic toys can go straight in the dishwasher for a germ-free deep clean.
• Shiny Windows: Go old-school with newspaper and White Vinegar for a streak-free finish.

Bathroom & Laundry

• Fluffy Towels: Add a heaped spoonful of Bicarbonate of Soda to your wash to bring towels back to life.
• Hard Water: Rub half a lemon over stains, leave to sit, and rinse for a sparkling finish.
• Sticky Irons: Iron over salt on a dry cloth (no steam!) to clean the iron plate.

PRO TIP: Never leave your toothbrush near the toilet! Keep it far away to avoid germs, and soak it in mouthwash or White Vinegar for 15 minutes once a week.

Personal Care Cleaning

Makeup Brushes

Don't spread bacteria on your face! Swirl your brushes in a bowl of hot water and a squirt of shampoo weekly to keep them fresh and soft.
