Being back to work means things get busier and there is less time to do chores and hobbies. Here are a few tips to clean easily and effortlessly (or with minimal effort;)).
For instance, the shower head...if you live in an area of hard water especially, the shower head soon looks horrible and most of the little holes become blocked. One way to clean the shower head is to pour some vinegar in a zip-lock bag and dilute it a little if you want but pure will do the job faster. Insert the shower head inside the bag and lock as much as possible and leave all day while you are at work. When you come back, take the shower head out of the bag and rinse. Job done!
The tiles in the bathroom also can be sprayed with diluted vinegar (you can add some lemon juice for the nice smell) before you leave the house and scrub a little and rinse when you get back. It will make future cleaning easier as long as you do this regularly, about once every two weeks.
At least once a week, put your pillows near an open window if you live in a flat (apartment) like me. This will aerate them and prevent them from smelling. If they can be put in the washing machine, do this once a year at least.
Keep outdoor shoes for outdoors and have slippers or flip-flops for inside the house. This will help keep the floors cleaner for longer.
Clean as you cook; let me explain. Don't leave all the mess to be cleaned or cleared after you finish cooking. While you are cooking, put things to soak, load the dishwasher or do the dishes by hand while the sauce is simmering or the roast is in the oven. This will leave you with very little mess after dinner.
I hope these tips are helpful and let me know if you want specific tips about particular subjects.
Until next time:)
Have a blast this weekend!!
