5 Awesome Bathroom Cleaning Hacks
Clean Your Mirror with Shaving Cream
Yes, I said to clean your mirror with shaving cream! Shaving cream cleans well and it prevents your mirror from fogging up! This awesome benefit usually lasts around a week or two and who couldn’t benefit from a non-foggy mirror?! Am I right?
Bring in the Vinegar
Vinegar is a seriously good thing to have in your home. Not only does it have health benefits, but you’ll also find that it is awesome for cleaning! Mixing vinegar and rubbing alcohol makes a great glass cleaner that is really good for your mirrors, shower doors and windows!
Vinegar to The Rescue Again
Got a gross toilet? Clean it up with baking soda and, you guessed it, vinegar! It’s a great alternative to bleach!
Keep Wipes on Hand
In both of the bathrooms of my house, I keep a canister of cleaning wipes. I have boys and boys are known to make little messes every once in a while (or all the time). If there are wipes within reach they can easily clean up their mess right when it happens!
Use Your Toothbrush
Okay, okay, not your actual toothbrush, but I always buy the cheap multipacks of toothbrushes at the store and keep them on hand for cleaning tools. They are great for that and they are like 5 brushes for $2. Well worth it!
Summer Cleaning Hacks
I don’t know about you, but when my home and the space around me is clean, I feel much happier and less stressed. Combine that with the fact that most of us are stuck in the house far more than ever and wow, there’s a ton of opportunity to be stressed out!
One way to keep the mess down and the stress away is to get everyone involved! With the kids home for the summer they can step up and help clean up the messes they make anyway. I recently read that having the kids help you clean actually benefits the kids in several ways.
- Cleaning helps them to become more productive
- Cleaning teaches children critical empathy and compassion as well as connection skills.
I don’t know about you, but I want my children to thrive in all of these categories.
Another way to get the mess down is to implement these handy summer cleaning hacks that will help make summertime cleaning easier and quicker!
Summer Cleaning Hacks
Focus on Bathrooms and Kitchens
If you have any kind of get together, almost every single person that enters your home will step into your kitchen and/or your bathroom. These are the areas that you need to put focus on cleaning. Think about it. If you walk into a clean kitchen, you really won’t think twice about toys all over a room, because “hey..the kitchen is clean.” It’s a good focus! Plus, I don’t know about you, but having a messy kitchen is the worst room to have been a mess.
Next up, the porch!
With everyone in and out of the house so much, it’s very easy for the porch to become a cluttered mess! Make sure to spend a few minutes each day cleaning your porch and your arrival home each day will come with a little bit less stress.
Have Plenty of Storage Space
We have mentioned it before, but it’s important to make sure to have plenty of storage space available. We will often have extra stuff out during the summer months and it makes sense to have space available to store them.
Cleaning Hacks that will Save You Time
If you are anything like me, you spend way too much time cleaning your house. It seems like everytime I turn around there is more work to do. Whether it’s a kitchen spill, a toy pileup or yet another load of laundry, it seems like it is non-stop.
Well, lucky for us, there are some simple cleaning hacks that have the ability to save us lots of time! I am working hard to revamp my life, my time and my sanity, wanna join me by starting with these hacks
Cleaning Hacks that will Save You Time:
Follow the Rule of Three
Once every hour (I do it when I walk through a room), put away 3 things. Maybe it’s the mail just sitting on the table or a coat draped over a chair. Whatever these three things are, they won’t take long to clean up and by the time the day is done, you will have accomplished a lot.
Place Dryer Sheets in the Garbage
Okay, okay, so you actually need to put them underneath the garbage bag that you place in your can, but the dryer sheet will absorb any spills and it will also keep the area smelling fresh!
Place Five Paper Towels on Top of the Microwave Turntable
This little trick will catch the spills offs that come with microwaving foods and liquids and at the end of your microwave use, just peel one paper off. You will have to do far less cleaning of your microwave!
Keep Your Supplies Together
There is a reason why the hotel maid pushes a cart with her cleaning supplies. Can you imagine having to run back and forth each time you need a different product? You should be doing the same thing at home. Make sure and keep all of your cleaning supplies stored together in one caddy. This will save you time and lots and lots of irritation! I hate when I have to go from room to room for supplies.
In all honesty I think I could go on and on as I think we, in general, waste a tremendous amount of time doing things the hard way. There are so many different ways to save time, none of them being right or wrong. I do though, love to hear about other’s ideas on how to save time. What is your best time saving cleaning hack?
