Here are some handy tips to help you clean your house easily and efficiently without taking too much time.

1. Get rid of unnecessary items

One of the most important steps in tidying up your home is to declutter. You probably have a lot of stuff that you don’t use, things you don’t want to throw away even though they’re no longer usable…

This is a step you need to pay attention to in order to make your home tidy. If your family has a lot of odds and ends, you can organize them in a corner to keep them neat.

2. Clean your furniture

For fabric or velvet sofas, you can dilute alcohol and brush them with a brush and then wipe them dry. If there are stains on the surface of the sofa, you can use a cloth soaked in soda water to clean it. For wooden furniture, you can use a clean cloth to soak in fresh milk, then wipe it clean and wipe it again with clean water.

3. Clean the refrigerator

To clean the outside of the refrigerator, use a soft cloth and toothpaste to wipe it. Inside the refrigerator, to minimize odors, simply place a slice of lime or a slice of bread in the refrigerator. This is a very effective way to eliminate odors. When cleaning inside the refrigerator, you can use baking soda and water to remove all stains and unpleasant odors.

4. Clean the kitchen

For the kitchen countertop, you can use dishwashing liquid to scrub it and then wipe it with clean water. For greasy dishes, you should clean them after each use to keep the sink clean every day. You can use hot water, combined with dishwashing liquid to clean the sink.

5. Clean the carpets

You can use a vacuum cleaner to clean the carpet. If the carpet is stuck with chewing gum, use a nylon bag with a little ice to place it on top, when the gum hardens, you can easily remove it. If the carpet is dirtied with sweet water or tea, use baking soda and vacuum up the dirt on the carpet.

6. Clean cups/teapots

To clean teapots and cups, add a little vinegar to the dishwashing water. This not only cleans grease and dirt, but also makes the dishes look brighter and cleaner. Besides vinegar, you can use lemon as a substitute, which also brings great results.

7. Clean mirrors/glass doors

It is best to use a soft cloth or paper towel to clean mirrors or glass doors. For glass or mirrors in the bathroom, instead of using a cleaner, use vinegar to wipe them.

8. Clean the microwave

To clean the microwave, use a teaspoon of water, put it in a small bowl and place it in the microwave. Then, adjust the heat for about five minutes and clean as usual. You can also sprinkle some salt into the microwave, turn it on and when the microwave is slightly cooled, use a warm sponge to clean it.

9. Clean the bathroom

Clean the toilet, scrub the sink, remove old bottles, toothpaste, toilet paper rolls… Then, you can apply vinegar to the toilet and sink. Then close the bathroom for about 20-30 minutes, then come back and use a brush, the dirt will be easily removed.
