Ready to clear out the clutter? This guide walks you through simple steps to declutter your space, from your closet to your kitchen. Say goodbye to mess and hello to a more organized home!
1. Clean Your Microwave with Steam
Tired of scrubbing stuck-on food in your microwave? Fill a microwave-safe bowl with water and a splash of vinegar. Heat it for 5 minutes, allowing the steam to loosen grime inside. Once done, simply wipe the interior with a cloth, and your microwave will look brand new.
Pro Tip: Add a slice of lemon to the bowl for a fresh, citrusy scent.
2. Use Dryer Sheets to Dust Baseboards
Don’t throw away used dryer sheets just yet! They’re excellent for cleaning baseboards. Simply run a sheet along the surface to pick up dust and debris. Their anti-static properties also help repel dust, keeping your baseboards cleaner for longer.
Pro Tip: This hack works great for blinds and other hard-to-reach surfaces too!
3. Deodorize Carpets with Baking Soda
Carpets can trap unpleasant odors over time, but baking soda can fix that. Sprinkle a generous amount of baking soda over your carpet and let it sit for at least 15 minutes. Then, vacuum thoroughly. Baking soda absorbs odors and freshens your carpet without harsh chemicals.
Pro Tip: Add a few drops of your favorite essential oil to the baking soda for a subtle fragrance.
