Put Shaving Cream on Your Broom And Do THIS (Brilliant Trick)

I know something about you, you can’t stand having to clean your bathtub. There’s a lot to scrub and it gets really uncomfortable. But here’s a great trick that will save you a lot of time — and money. This magic product may be hidden in your bathroom cabinet, too! All you need is some shaving cream and a broom.

The shaving cream will help with cleaning up your bathtub, and by using the broom, you’ll spare yourself unnecessary back pain. Once you’re happy with the results, just rinse it off. That can of shaving cream can be used for a lot of other things around the house. You can cover the bristles of the toilet brush with it, for an overnight disinfecting routine. Not to mention you can then clean the toilet with it and have it smell quite nice.

Has your kitchen sink ever gotten clogged? I mean we all had such a problem at least once, but here’s a nice idea that will spare you a trip to the store for those harsh unclogging solutions. Mix some leftover coffee grounds with dish soap. Pour them down your drain and let them do their magic for a short while. Then just pour a lot of hot water. This combination should break up whatever food residue got stuck in your pipes. Not to mention it also helps with the bad smell.

You may already be using lemon essential oil around your house for its fresh fragrance. But here’s another thing you can use it for: cleaning and polishing dark wood with spots and stains! Tea tree oil works the same way too. To make sure your furniture isn’t too delicate, do a little cleaning test on an area that isn’t visible. Apart from taking care of the spots, these oils are also great bug deterrents and they make your furniture smell nice too.

If you have pets or little ones, you know how hard it is to keep the living room couch clean. You might not have to get a new one when it gets too much. Try cleaning some of the spots on both the fabric and the wood with some toothpaste. It’s good for cleaning and for polishing too. Once you’re done, wipe everything off with a damp towel and let it air dry. The trick here is to not use a whole lot of toothpaste. A pea-sized amount should do the trick, even for the nastiest stains. And it’ll help prevent cavities, too.

Scented candles are a great way to spice up your living room décor. But once you spill one of those over, that hot wax can be a nightmare to get rid of. It’s sticky and it can really stain valuable pieces of furniture. More so, if you try to scrape it off, you might end up damaging pieces of wood even more. If you ever spill some wax, here’s what you can try: first, fill a plastic bag with some ice cubes. Then, gently place them over the wax, and let it work its magic. The ice cubes should help cool the wax until it’s solid. You can then simply pick it up without damaging your furniture, carpet, or piece of fabric.

Re-using jars around the kitchen can be a nice way to repurpose some objects, but we all know how annoying it is to peel those sticky labels off seamlessly. Don’t throw the jar away just yet. Go pick up some cooking oil and a cotton pad. Let the oil sink in on the sticky area then gently rub it off with the pad. The oils should help with breaking down the residue, while the cotton pad is delicate enough to remove it, without scratching the glass.

Microwave tends to get stinky at times? It’s always a good idea to give it a nice scrub every now and then. But if it still has a funky smell even after you’ve cleaned it thoroughly, here’s how you can get rid of the odor: place a bowl of vinegar inside and turn the microwave on for up to 5 minutes. Here’s a simple way you can clean your kettle with vinegar too, without having to risk damaging its electrical parts. Instead of placing plain water in it, fill it up with water and vinegar solution, it should be a 1:1 proportion. Then turn it on. The vinegar helps not only with the moldy smell, but it can also helps remove water stains and chalky residues.

Dusting the blinds is kinda tedious and way too time-consuming. Hey, I might have a solution for it that can save you a lot of time. Just use a pair of kitchen tongs. Rap each end with a pair of dish towels, preferably a little damp. That little amount of water will ensure the dust doesn’t go back into the air once you’re done. Secure the tongs with a pair of rubber bands and you’ve got yourself a custom blinds duster. Just place each line from the blinds between the tongs and slide as you go. Easy, right?

Cleaning up your blender is not only tiresome, but it can get dangerous at times if you don’t pay enough attention to those sharp blades. Here’s how you can avoid it. Add some dish soap and warm water into the device, and blend away until it’s clean. If you have some stains that are harder to get rid of, don’t be afraid to add some baking powder too.

If you’re the kind of person that always has to clean the garbage can after taking out the trash, you might want to try this trick. Place some pieces of old newspaper on the bottom of the can. Even if you throw away something liquid, it should absorb it and you won’t have to give the can a scrub each time you fill up the trash.

Cats are cute and all, but they are notorious for clawing things around the house. Yeah, nice kitty. Not. I may not have a solution for your drapes just yet, but here’s what you can do for your couch. Try to observe your cat for a couple of days and figure out if it has a favorite spot on the couch where it likes to sharpen its nails. Once you find out what that is, place a small patch of aluminum foil on top. Also, try to secure the foil as much as you can. Your cat might try to dig in, but once it touches the aluminum foil, it will soon figure out it’s too uncomfortable. It might even keep it away from the couch altogether if you’re lucky.

Never know which key is used for what? We all run around with house, office and mail keys all kept together within the same keychain. If you have a hard time differentiating between them, try painting them over! You can use nail polish, as it should last pretty long and it dries up pretty quickly. You might still have to remember which color is which though, just saying...

Some types of clothes — like those made out of silk — really require anti-slip hangers if you don’t want them constantly falling off in your closet. Fortunately, you don’t have to spend a fortune on buying new fancy hangers. Just get some pieces of pipe cleaner and wrap them around standard, wire hangers. The pipe cleaner will give the hangers that added grip they need to make sure loose clothes don’t fall off and get all wrinkled.

If you find your vacuum cleaner isn’t long enough for you to reach all the spaces you need to clean, you might have a simple DIY extension hidden in your office. Once you’ve finished a roll of wrapping paper, save that leftover tube for this precise reason. You can secure it on the end of your vacuum cleaner pipe and get those extra inches you need to make sure you get rid of dust and cobwebs on the ceiling. Organizing cables has never been this easy — and budget-friendly! Find a shoebox and fill it with toilet paper rolls, sitting vertically. You can then roll up the cables and place them in each tube. Plus, you can even label each tube to easily locate the desired cable next time you’re in a rush to charge your phone.
