What does torn newspaper have to do?
When sweeping the house, dust can fly and stick to other objects. Many people have the habit of wetting the floor before sweeping, but unevenly scattered water will make it extremely difficult to sweep.
Simply put, just wet a little bit of old newspaper and tear it into small pieces and throw it on the ground, the wet newspaper will absorb the dust and you will easily sweep without worrying about flying dust anymore.
Or if you’re drinking tea, you can also use tea leaves as a replacement. It is so convenient and time-saving.

Cleaning window blinds
You don’t need to remove the blinds to wash them, just use a wet cloth dipped in water, then wet a few old newspapers and stick them to the blinds. Wait for about 5 minutes before removing them, you will see the dust has stuck to the paper and you just need to wipe it once with a wet cloth to make it clean and shiny.
Kitchen wall
Usually, the kitchen wall will accumulate a lot of grease and difficult-to-clean stains. Just use a piece of bread to lightly scrub those stains, then use a clean cloth to wipe once.
After finishing, use cling film to stick around the cooking area, and after a while, replace it with a new film. That way, the wall will not get dirty while the cling film has the effect of “camouflaging” the dirt quite well, making it difficult to detect.
Rugs
Rugs are where dirt resides, if you use a washing machine to wash it, it is very wrong and unscientific.
In this case, you just need to sprinkle a little water on the rug and then sprinkle some table salt on it. Wait for the salt to penetrate deep, you just need to use a vacuum cleaner to suck up the salt particles that have stuck to the dirt. That way, you will have a clean and shiny new rug.
