When it comes to home decor and keeping your house clean, it can be hard to know what tricks and tips to use to make the process easier. Luckily, after decades of good housekeeping hacks and smart home makers that discovered different ways to keep a home tidy the smart way, we’ve got a list for you!
In this blog, we’ll talk about 5 home cleaning hacks you might not know of that can take your home decor to the next level.
One of the easiest and most cost-effective home cleaning hacks is to use lemons to remove stains. Lemon juice is a natural acid that has powerful bleaching properties, helping you tackle tough stains on a variety of surfaces, including fabrics.
For instance, structured bean bags with removable covers are especially well-suited for using lemon juice, as the covers can be removed and washed separately from the bean bag’s inner filling.
To use lemons for stain removal, cut a fresh lemon in half and squeeze the juice over the stain. Let the juice sit for several minutes before scrubbing it into the stain with a damp cloth. You may need to repeat this process multiple times for tougher stains, but eventually, you should see the stain fading away.
Once you’ve finished scrubbing, rinse off the area with warm water and allow the fabric to dry before use.
For instance, if you accidentally spilled a bit of burger grease or oil on your outdoor bean bag and a small stain was left, try this trick to keep your luxury bean bag stunning!
If you've been trying to get rid of persistent bad odours from your home, baking soda can be your best friend. Baking soda is a natural odour absorber and deodorizer, which makes it perfect for getting rid of odours caused by pets, smoke, mildew and more.
To use baking soda as an odour eliminator, simply sprinkle a generous amount onto the affected area and let it sit for at least 15 minutes. You can also make a baking soda paste by mixing it with water and applying it directly to areas that have stubborn odours.
Once the baking soda has been left to sit for a while, simply vacuum or sweep up the excess powder. This simple trick will help to keep your home smelling fresh and clean!
Vinegar is one of the most effective and affordable natural disinfectants around. Not only does it clean surfaces, but it also kills bacteria, mould, and germs that cause illness and bad odours.
To disinfect with vinegar, mix 1 part vinegar to 4 parts water and pour it into a spray bottle. Spray on hard surfaces and wipe off with a damp cloth or paper towel. The acidic nature of vinegar makes it effective against germs, so make sure to use it in places where there are potential germs such as bathrooms, kitchens, and bedrooms.
If you have fabric accessories at home, such as bean bags NZ, waterproof bean bags or structured bean bags, just spray the surface of the bean bag and let it air dry.
Making your own all-purpose cleaner is a great way to save money and keep your home clean. You can easily make an all-purpose cleaner at home with some basic ingredients.
To make an effective all-purpose cleaner, you will need vinegar, baking soda, liquid soap, and water. Start by combining 1/2 cup of white vinegar and 1/4 cup of baking soda in a bowl. Then, add one tablespoon of liquid soap and stir until everything is mixed together.
Finally, add one gallon of water to the mixture and stir until everything is dissolved. Your all-purpose cleaner is now ready to use!
Coffee filters are surprisingly versatile for cleaning around the home. You can use them for dusting hard-to-reach areas, such as ceiling fan blades or window blinds. Coffee filters are great for trapping dust and can be thrown away after use.
However, if you’re worried about cleaning your home furniture often, try replacing some of your decors with bean bags. Structured bean bags or waterproof bean bags aren’t easily stuck with dirt over time, so you don’t have to think about cleaning them almost every time!
Just use a soft cloth to clean them once in a while; that will surely make your house-cleaning routine a lot easier.
When it comes to cleaning your home, you don't always need the most expensive products or equipment. With a few simple tips and tricks, you can keep your home looking spotless without breaking the bank.
