Cute grandma has the best-kept secrets, especially when it comes to house cleaning, so if you are looking for inspiration, keep scrolling below to check them out!
Clothes whitening with Lemon Juice
Mix a gallon of high temperature water with the juice of a lemon, and let your faded white clothes soak for an hour or two. Then, run them through the washing machine on rinse program, and hang them outside to dry under the sunlight. Voila!
Boil Cinnamon for a Sweet-Scented Kitchen
Add a unique scent to your kitchen, by only boiling a couple of cinnamon sticks. Put cinnamon in a little pan on the stove, cover with water, and heat the blend to the point of boiling. After a few minutes, a fresh aroma will fill the room, taking your mind away to Grandma’s home. Sweet memories, sweet scent!
How to clean the inside of the microwave
Mix 2 cups of water with two tablespoons of vinegar in a microwaveable bowl (if you want to lower the vinegar smell, add a drop of essential oil too) and microwave on a high level to let the steam do the hard work. Carefully remove the bowl of water (it will be hot!) and then wipe the insides clean.
*Put a toothpick into the bowl to keep the water from bubbling out over the edges.
Remove Coffee Stains from Clothes
The first step is to wash the item with cold water immediately. Next, rub some liquid dish soap onto the area and rinse, then add vinegar diluted with water on the stain and toss in the laundry as usual.
Polish Wood without Chemicals
An old-fashioned and natural alternative to polish your furniture is to mix one scoop lemon juice with three scoops olive oil to give your wooden surfaces a beautiful shine.
Get Rid of Stains on Pans and Pots
May sound unconventional, but grandmothers would mix baking soda with warm water and use a crust of bread as a sponge to rub away any stubborn dirt on pots and pans. It also works for cutlery!
Make Your Counters Sparkle
Instead of using for spray or wipes, past generations would clean the surfaces with a grapefruit sliced in half, then sprinkle plenty of salt on top and rinse away with hot water and a sponge.
Refresh the Dishwasher/Washing Machine
Pour a bottle of white vinegar in the bottom of the dishwasher/washing machine and let it sit for about an hour, then run through a cycle without any soap. This old trick will help to linger smells or bacteria.
