These days, juggling housework and career duties is one of the many challenges that families living a cosmopolitan lifestyle need to overcome. This is why we have brought you some tricks and hacks to clean those things that don’t need an everyday cleaning, but which could do with some love.
One of the best friends for home cleaning is vinegar. The versatility and different uses we can give to vinegar makes it an essential product for our homes. One of the places people spend more time cleaning in their house is the bathroom, and if you are searching how to leave it as spotless as you can, cleaning your shower door will make a huge difference of how clean your bathroom will look.
What will you need? You will only need white distilled vinegar for this hack. Put a generous quantity of vinegar on a sponge, wipe and scrub the shower door until you feel all the soap scum has been removed; you can repeat this process until you are happy with the results.
The main goal of some of the hacks we will recommend to you in this article is to save you at least 3 to 5 minutes in your weekly cleaning, and this is one of them. We know that sometimes we will struggle to find the matching pillowcases of our sheets, or where we keep them stored does not look as tidy as we want. This is why we have found an easy solution to this problem.
We recommend storing your sheets inside the matching pillowcases. This will make it easier every time that you change your bedding.

Some of the electronic items we most use today are computers and laptops. Some people will use them for a couple of minutes, while others will work on them almost all day. This is why we should give a bit more attention to cleaning these items. We may not realise that they can accumulate a sizable quantity of dust inside.
For this hack, you will only need a toothbrush. This tool is perfect for cleaning those parts of the keyboard that normally are inaccessible. We recommend that you clean the keyboard with your computer or laptop turned off, to avoid mistakenly deleting important documents.
Are you a tea or coffee person? The answer to this question doesn’t matter for this hack; what does matter is the stains that coffee and tea leave in our mugs and teapots. Normally these stains don’t come off easily and make them look as though they have not been cleaned. This is why we bring you the perfect solution to having tea and coffee mugs that look as good as new.
You will need washing up liquid and some bicarbonate of soda. As everyone knows, bicarbonate of soda is the best mate of cleaning, helping to clean every inch of our home. After you have mixed the washing up liquid with the bicarbonate of soda, use the solution with a rough sponge to scrub the mugs, rinse and allow to dry, you can repeat this process as often as you want to leave your mugs and teapots without any stains.
One of the items people don’t really remember to deep clean in their bathroom is the shower curtain. Don’t forget they get as dirty as any other place in the house, and can accumulate fungus if you don’t keep an eye on them.
What do you need for this hack? A few towels, your usual washing machine detergent and of course your curtain. Put them into your washing machine as you do with your other clothes and they will come out clean and ready to use again.
Have you ever taken the time to clean your laptop charger? Normally, this is something that we wouldn’t do. You can see in the pictures that there is a big difference between when it is clean and when not. While you are reading this article, have a look at your laptop charger to see if it needs a clean.
One of the ways to clean it faster and without damaging the charger is using a cotton pad with a bit of nail polish removal. Pass the cotton pad through the charger and you will see the difference from the first cleaning. Don’t forget to check your laptop charger before doing this, make sure that it is not broken, so you don’t risk electrocution when you connect the charger to the power. Clean the connecting point between the laptop and charger, but always bear in mind that when we clean an electronic devise, we need to be extremely careful, because they work with electricity, and any contact with water or liquid can be dangerous.
