6 DIY cleaning hacks that actually work

Finding the time to carry out a deep clean at home or in your office is often something that many people struggle with. We know first-hand that hiring a cleaning company is the best way to ensure your premises is in gleaming condition through thorough and consistent cleaning. The benefits of deep cleaning can be found in our previous blog here.  

When cleaning at home, you no doubt gather your essentials: cloths, cleaning products, a vacuum and vinegar? That’s right, a 50:50 mix of vinegar and water is an ideal DIY cleaning product for kitchen surfaces.  

Here, we take a look at 6 DIY cleaning hacks using items that you can easily find at home or in the office.  

 

  • Use a toothbrush to clean your keyboard 

Cleaning in between computer keys is a tricky task and it is a haven for food crumbs and dirt. Take a damp but not dripping toothbrush and scrub the usually inaccessible parts of your keyboard.  

 

  • Clean screens with coffee filters 

This is another item that is easily found at home or in the office. Coffee filters are an alternative to using cloth wipes, which in certain cases attract more dust because of the static charge created.  

 

  • Deep clean your shower head  

A quick and easy way to remove grime from your shower head is to fill a sandwich bag with baking soda and vinegar, and tie the end. Leave the solution to soak overnight and the dirt should be easily removed with an old toothbrush in the morning.  

 

  • Newspaper is an ideal window cleaner 

Newspapers are easily accessible and provide a non-abrasive solution to cleaning windows, and so will not scratch the glass or leave streaks and smudges. 

 

  • Use cola to clean the toilet 

Surprisingly, pouring the fizzy drink down the toilet and flushing will result in a sparkling finish. Try it yourself!  

 

  • Clean your bathtub with grapefruit 

This cleaning hack is another unusual solution. Grime, bath rings and soap scum can be removed by cutting a grapefruit in half, topping it with rock salt and scrubbing as you would a scourer pad. Repeat until you’re left with a sparkling bathtub or sink that smells great too.  

The above hacks are all items that are easily accessible, and give quick fixes to certain dirty areas of your home or office. The best way to make sure your premises is cleaned with thorough precision, including the hard-to-reach areas, is to contact us at Regimental Cleaning Services.
