Let's face it, many of us would rather be doing something else when it comes to cleaning.

Whether dusting, vacuuming, or scrubbing, maintaining a sparkling clean house can often feel like a never-ending saga. But we are here to make housekeeping simpler and more enjoyable.

We found clever cleaning shortcuts designed to save you loads of time, energy, and money!

1. The Microwave Rescue tip:​

One of our favourite cleaning tips involves refreshing your microwave with just two everyday household items—water and a slice of lemon.

Simply pop a bowl filled with water and a slice of the citrus fruit in your microwave and run it for about 3-5 minutes.

Allow the citrus-scented steam to work its magic for a few extra minutes with the door shut.

Afterwards, you can wipe away all the stubborn dried-on bits with a single swipe of kitchen paper!

2. The Dish De-greaser:​

Dishes with cooked-on grime can wage war on your wrists (and patience). But here’s a secret weapon—Dawn's Foaming Soap.

A spritz of this miracle worker, a wait of about ten minutes, and bid farewell to any sticky remnants, minus any exhausting scrubbing.

3. The Dust Deterrent:​

Tired of getting into a dust-up with those greasy particles residing on the tops of cabinets and furniture?

Deploy layers of wax paper or paper bags to catch the grime and simply swap them out when they have served their dusty term.

4. The Fridge Facilitator:​

Dodging small spills which dry up into a meticulous scraping saga in fridges?

Enlist the service of machine-washable, absorbent mats lining your fridge shelves and see those unsightly messes vanish.

5. Coffee Machine SOS:​

Try out one of these cleaning pods, brew it just like you would a regular K-cup, wait three minutes and voila!

Your dependable brewer is back to its sparkling self.

6. Mess-Free Stove with Easy-to-Clean Burner Covers​

Keep your stove clean and save time on cleaning with stove burner covers.

They are a breeze to maintain and can be replaced at a low cost when they get too messy.

7. Stain Removal for Travel Mugs and Water Bottles​

Tired of scrubbing?

Drop in a fizzing cleaning tablet to banish stains and make your travel mugs and water bottles squeaky clean without any effort.

8. Say Goodbye to Lingering Odours​

Light up a specially designed candle to quickly eliminate pet or food smells. This will leave your home smelling fresh and inviting.

9. Simplify Cleaning with the Dishwasher​

Make your cleaning routine easier by utilising the dishwasher to clean multiple items at once, from AC vent covers to wrenches and screwdrivers.

But just to be safe, we do recommend taking a look at your dishwasher’s manual first.
