26 Genius Cleaning Hack Every Clean Freak Must Know

[@lorrielanzicadena8452]

Here’s a tip. When I take out my dryer filter, I use a prevuious used dryer sheet from the load before and wipe off the filter with the previous dryer sheet. Everything comes off clean and fast!

[@Rita-yw2tn]

I always do that with my dryer sheets

[@louisemunsen3246]

Nice!!! Thank you!

[@patgarcia4664]

Another helpful tip if no dryer sheet available: moisten a couple of your fingers and pull off the lint.

As someone who works in a gallery, absolutely do not use a bagel to clean a painting. The oils and such in the food will damage the painting. To properly clean a painting, a sponge works just fine. If the paint is completely dry, the sponge can be a little damp.

[@flyinspirals]

Karen Eliza Most delicate restorations are done with q-tips & distilled water, right? A bagel, lol.

[@soulfulkat]

It depends on the medium, but yes, we have sponges, q-tips, cotton pads/balls, fine tipped brushes etc. Sometimes we use water, sometimes we use other chemicals. I'm not the one that does it personally, but I like to watch the process.

[@snowwhite5842]

How about going to a store, spending a buck and getting a soft paint brush? And then keeping up with your cleaning so your artwork isn’t that grimy? I’m a professional cleaner and if I pulled out a bagel to clean with, I’d be unemployed.

This tip originated when a cleaning lady was caught taking an early lunch; she claimed, "no, I'm not eating it, Silly! I'm cleaning this beautiful painting!"

If you try the vanilla in the oven, a VERY important step is to place the coffee cup of vanilla in a COLD oven. Then turn the oven on to pre-heat with the coffee cup inside. This way the cup heats up slowly and will not shatter from the intense heat of the over rack. Once the house smells like heaven, turn the oven off and leave the cup inside to cool slowly.

I use Bar Keepers Friend on all of my stainless steel. Just make a paste on a microfiber cloth, let it sit on the item for 2 minutes and wipe off with a wet cloth. Then use a dry cloth to shine it up. Looks brand new and removes all water spots and rust. You can even clean the oven with it (just do a test spot first to make sure it doesn't hurt it). The screen over your stove can also be cleaned with Bar Keepers Friend. Removes grease.

Tip for the front loading gasket, dry it after your done with laundry for the day, then put a dry towel in the bottom and leave the washer door open. I never get mold in mine.

[@robynfarrar278]

What I do...........wipe with a Microfiber Cloth (best invention ever) and leave the door ajar ....I have had my front loader washer for over 20 years and never had any mould. Also place a "Fridge Fresh"in the machine and close the door. It contains charcoal which absorbs odours and keep your machine smelling as fresh as a daisy.

I don’t know if you know this. I just found out a year ago. To clean the aluminum thresholds at the doors, go to an auto store and buy, Aluminum wheel cleaner. Wipe off any visible dirt, just use a damp cloth, don’t go crazy, then spray the cleaner on and wait 5 minutes. Use steel wool to scrub in the same direction. Wipe of with a damp paper towel. It works wonders. I was at Home Depot looking for steel wool ( you can use a Brillo pad) A guy next to me said something about cleaning , I don’t remember, I told him how to clean the thresholds. He was like OMG, I’m in charge of cleaning at a mall and they were going to clean the escalators that evening. He said they are hard to clean, so I said they will sparkle after that cleaner.

I use a pair of spa gloves over a pair of latex gloves to clean mini-blinds without taking them down. Spa gloves are those funny looking scrubby shower gloves to use in the bath. If you don't have big hands the ones from Dollar Tree work great. Take a plastic garbage bag or tarp and put on the floor directly under the window sill to catch the mess. usually put an old bath tower over the tarp to absorb the water You can mix equal parts of water, lemon juice and water in a plastic bowl. If you put it in a spray bottle it is a little messier, but it will work. The latex gloves are not absolutely necessary because none of this will hurt your skin. Put on the spa gloves, dip in the solution and use your thumb and index finger to do top and bottom all at once Go gently from side to side. Use your other hand to support the back of the blinds so they don't bend to much. The scrubbee material of the spa gloves combined with the solution will cut right through all the gummy dust and build up. This is a much faster and more effective method and you can use a spray bottle and a light spritz of water to remove any remaining solution. You will have gotten some water or vinegar lemon solution on the windows behind the blinds, but a paper towel or some wadded up newspaper will shine them quickly. Extra tip: once the blinds are dry, wipe them with a dryer sheet which repels dust. Enjoy

[@madhatter909]

Just put it in the dishwasher

[@Flat10squirrel]

Try cleaning your entire washroom with Lysol toilet cleaner (LTC). It will remove soap scum from all surfaces. I scratched my faucet to scrape away the scum, with LTC I wiped it off. Apply Lysol TC to the top rim of your bathtub, it will flow down. Squish some LTC onto a microfibre cloth and wipe down EVERY surface in the WR, including all plastic containers and every surface of the toilet. Once you finish wiping, go clean the tub and faucets (any area with scum build-up you pre-treated the LTC). I tried all sorts of methods and cleaners, this was the easiest and most effective. Do not use on mirrors or non-plastic laminate tops.

If a bagel works like a sponge--why not just use a sponge?

Really? Cleaning the vacume cleaner filter in the dishwasher?? I rather buy a new one

[@Sparklejumpropequeen374]

Charlotte Yang idk why but this grosses me out lol

[@luciparadise6781]

Holly Smith With you on this one. Bleh.

[@jennij9389]

Seriously. One could probably do just as well, if not better, by rinsing it in the sink. My dishwasher would probably destroy a paper filter. A better way is to use an air compressor to blow the dust/dirt out. Once again, this is much safer for the filter.

[@luciparadise6781]

Dubs J Sounds like a viable plan to me. 😉👍

[@2muchRnR]

Charlotte Yang Ewe!!! Would NEVER do that! I'm ready to puke!

[@vickiesmith3021]

Thank you so very very much for your video.

[@sjuuly]

Hey geniuses out there! The microwave does not kill germs. You might thinks so but it's not. Putting the vacuum filter (in which you collected all the dirt and germ from the floor!) in your dishwasher is a bad bad idea.

[@2muchRnR]

Sjuul I know that you heard VACUUM FILTER just like I and everyone else did! Well, ... there's a jackass smartypants here who told someone else to watch the video and listen again because the woman DID NOT say "vacuum filter"!!! Not only does the woman in the video clearly say VACUUM FILTER, it's typed right across the screen! Some people are SO argumentative, that they make up stuff just to get a few kicks!

[@sjuuly]

Adlin Osar Yes that's true. Just heard it again. Vacuumfilter... bleh..

[@XI_Daisy_XI]

Adlin Osar I think maybe that person is thinking of the OTHER filter mentioned in the vid...the oven fan^exaust filter.

[@GoAlamo]

Sjuul The microwave super-heats the water in the sponge. THAT'S what kills will kill anything but a bacterial spore. For those you need an autoclave.

[@melanier110]

Sjuul My husband told me to that and I was like noooo!!! I put my sponge in boiling water for five minutes. It takes away the smell and makes it feel new again.

[@alicial1239]

My favorite so far!

[@Tronderose]

#23, if your whole house smells good after only 20 minutes, why would you keep it in there for a whole hour? #10 "the bread will pick up all the grime and grossness like a sponge" so...idk, maybe use a sponge?! And eat the bagel.

[@bpjog25]

Tronderose leaving it in for an hour makes sure the fragrance lasts for a good while even after you take it out.

[@tneal1670]

May as well eat that bagel. Tried that hack before and it was a failure.

[@valhollylee8422]

Bread works better than a sponge. You can use it to get marks off walls too

[@marilynchastain5617]

Great job!

I just realized that I'm not a clean freak.

best cleaning tips video Ive seen!!

[@hollywinslett7097]

HA!!!! It takes me a week, sometimes two weeks just to get motivated to clean the house. Bc it doesn’t get messy very often but it’s the small stuff that I hate doing.

[@Innocentah]

Or you just open the oven glas to clean it. ( you can seperate them)

[@ys1876]

Innocentah that is a pain in the ass! Have you tried doing it before? I have and won't ever do it again!

[@XI_Daisy_XI]

Innocentah Giant pain in the ass!!! I guess I understand the saying, "clean enough to be healthy, dirty enough to be happy". As a clean person I never really got it, plus I've seen total slobs use that adage and it always irked me. For me I take it like this....I do the best I can to keep on top of the house, that inside part between the glass door on an oven is not going to bring me down, it used to....till I saw how fruitless it was go through all the trouble.

[@XI_Daisy_XI]

*****​ Yeah, well appliances are better built, and more sensibly created with the consumer in mind in other parts of the world. It all varies country to country I guess, depends on what particular product is the subject at hand. The best sandals/flip-flops may be manufactured in Brazil, while the best vacuums might be made in Germany and so on and so on... BTW- I like how you spell *klick* 😉

[@stormygirl1704]

Innocentah Ours is just two screws. It’s way easier than a hanger!!

My house is almost a hundred years old and when I start to clean I get lost in the sauce because, I love too deep clean so my house is never straightened it's always a mess! Truly I think I have a problem when there is dirty dishes in the sink I decide to take off the oven door to try to clean the inside!

[@Newbegginings]

Love your style

[@erin3375]

I am the same way LoL...I always clean something other than what I should be cleaning!

[@sarahansma2400]

lol I start in one room but once that room is tore apart I’m in a whole different room tearing something else apart and nothing ever gets completely done it is like I’m constantly spinning my wheels 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤷‍♀️😵‍💫🤫🤭

[@winros]

@@sarahansma2400 same here... I have a hard time focusing and people tell me start in one room and finish it and then go to the next room! And I'm thinking in my head logically that is the thing to do however, my brain doesn't work that way! Don't vacuum there's a spot on the kitchen floor that you have to get out it takes me 2 hours s*** like that! What does help is, I have to be mindful and put a timer on! Example: just wash the kitchen floor, dog needs to go out, it's snowing, let her back in and now we have paw prints 👣! It is so frustrating thank you I feel as though I'm not alone!

[@Dalszielle]

Filter in the dishwasher??? My secret is using only one item with another item as bonus (secret🙂) and cleans really good👌🏻

[@positivelypenny1392]

My vacuum has an odor even after I have cleaned all the filters, and washed every part. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to freshen it?

[@dmckim3174]

Penny Tumey I occasionally sprinkle some baking soda on my bed, let it sit for half hour and vacuum up. If you do this and continue vacuuming for at least several minutes it will absorb much of the moisture in the contents of your vacuum. Most odors come from moisture.

[@erin3375]

I've seen many people in cleaning videos on KZbin, use drops of essential oil on their vacuum filter. If you have pets, make sure to Google what kinds of essential oils are safe around pets. I've looked it up in the past, and I know there we're some that are safe for pets. I just can't recall which ones they were. Hope this helps.

[@j.sheila7025]

WOW...THE USES OF VINEGAR!!!!

[@MonkeeLuvR]

There is a way to open oven doors to get to the inside windows and clean them that is MUCH easier. There are screws at the top and bottom on the inside of the door but they are not standard screws. You can get a tool that opens them at Lowe's. I didn't know what I needed, but I took a photo of the "screw" into the store with me. The person who was in the hand tool department gave me what I needed. I opened the door and used my standard cleaners to get it pristine. The tool had several attachments in different sizes and only cost about $13.

[@cindyc9890]

Tool? Do you mean a screwdriver?

[@belizepassion2602]

Cindy C lmao!

[@tammymitchell4770]

Great stuff!

[@valdezd625]

Uuuummmm no. Lemme stop you there at number 1. Do NOT microwave your sponges! It literally tells you on the packaging to NOT do that.

[@dianeashworth1420]

I had a terrible odor coming from my kitchen sink area. Cleaned out the cabinet below-no leak, no turned over product. Used sink deodorizer tablets to no avail. It was getting so bad that I could smell it in another room! After doing everything I could think of, I finally found the problem. I have a garbage disposal and there are black triangular rubber jobbies around the drain. Using a teaspoon, I ran it in the underside of those jobbies and some disgusting unidentifiable goop came out in the spoon. If you're having the same problem, give this a try.

[@cjon4256]

Can I ask you an honest question? What's the point of a garbage disposal?

[@audrablue515]

Best all purpose cleaner for any job you have: bathroom mould, grease, baked on gunk etc: mix bicarb soda, water and dishwashing liquid together. This cleaner works like magic and all without heavy elbow grease.

[@danalaniz7314]

Very informative. Thanks.

[@TriciaE603]

Take the oven door apart. More efficient and thorough. There are easier and faster ways to do most of these. 😆

[@amethyst1826]

It must be an American thing, as I can easily remove the inside glass on my oven to give it all a decent clean!!

In Europe most oven door lift out their hinges too

No, it's simple here in America also. Just not a smart video..

[@suburbanchickenman8452]

Would it be best to wet the sponge before putting it in the microwave?

[@erin3375]

Yes, Definitely. I used to put mine in the microwave and had no problems. Now I just throw mine in the dishwasher. I've noticed the dishwasher and to wear out my sponge is faster than the microwave did. I think I I will switch back to microwave because of that. When it's done in the microwave, open the door and let the sponge stay there for a few minutes to cool.

[@marydipietro8124]

Yes! A dry sponge would catch on fire.

[@susanmills7142]

@@marydipietro8124 I actually think alot of these people are putting DRY dirty sponges in their microwave 🤭😳Hence the “burning smell” or other complaints. Some things are just not obvious🤷‍♀️ I learned along time ago, NEVER assume anything…💯YES, wet your sponges w at least water, i use just fabuloso or whatever cleaner i have on hand, & squeeze the excess out & microwave your sponge for at least a minute. But lately ive just been buying new ones to replace the stinky ones & its easier👍🏼
