21 People That Gave a Second Life to Old Things

Experts on cleaning at the Good Housekeeping Institute created a special recommendation on how often we should clean at home. For example, we should wash the coffee maker and disinfect the sinks in the kitchen and bathroom every day. Every week, we should clean the dust and the mirrors, and every 3-6 months we should wash the fridge inside and outside. The people from this article had to clean places and the things that haven’t been cleaned in a long-long time. And they did an amazing job.

We at Bright Side are convinced that anything can be cleaned, you just need to really want to do it. And in the bonus, you will see a thing that seemed impossible to save.
