Cleanliness, order and comfort should be in every home. But modern women, in addition to everyday life, still have many worries - work, children, husbands, pets and much more. In such a rhythm of life, it is sometimes difficult to do everything. But experienced housewives know how to redo everything and find time to relax. For this purpose, there are useful “life hacks” that greatly simplify everyday life.
Using the dishwasher for purposes other than its intended purpose
A dishwasher is an indispensable helper for a large family. But many people don’t even realize that you can wash not only dishes in it, but also other things. Children's toys, makeup brushes, fruits, vegetables and even shoes - all this can be washed without much effort using a dishwasher.
Disposable pet diapers
You have to clean up after your dog or cat often so that there is no unpleasant odor in the house. But constant cleaning of the house or bed takes a lot of time, so experienced housewives use disposable diapers. It is enough to change 2-3 diapers a week, and you can forever forget about the grueling cleaning of your beloved pet’s bed.
Cleaning wool with a scraper
In a house where there are pets, residents are faced with the need to clean up hair. For this purpose, special rollers, tape and other devices are used. But using these methods is difficult to clean a large carpet or sofa. You can make the task easier by using a window scraper.
Sticky roller for dust collection
A convenient and quick way to remove dust from various surfaces is to use a sticky roller for clothes. It is especially convenient to use this method for removing dust from lampshades, where a rag is not enough.
Cling film
Lazy housewives should know one of the most effective ways to make their work easier - using cling film. It can be laid on refrigerator shelves and other quickly dirty surfaces, and then simply changed as it gets dirty. This will save a lot of time and effort on cleaning.
Foil on a baking sheet
Many housewives do not like to clean the baking sheet after cooking in the oven. There is a solution to this problem - you can wrap the baking sheet in foil, and after cooking the dish, remove it and throw it away. Baking paper is also suitable instead of foil.
Drill not intended for use
Almost everyone in the house has a drill, but this tool is used only a couple of times a year. And if you attach the brush to a drill, it becomes an excellent machine for removing stains. The housewife will no longer have to waste time scrubbing away dirt, since with the help of a drill she will do this in a matter of minutes.
Edible tableware
After feasts there is always a lot of dirty dishes left behind. You can make life easier by putting a thin flatbread, pita bread or lettuce on your plate, and only then the rest of the appetizers. This method of decoration makes the dishes festive and beautiful, and also makes washing dishes easier after gatherings.
Cleaning basket or cart
To avoid running from room to room and carrying detergents, rags and other things while cleaning, you can have a special container or even a cart for these purposes.This advice is relevant for those who live in large houses and apartments.
Potatoes to make mirrors shine
You can achieve the cleanliness and shine of mirror and glass surfaces using ordinary potatoes. To do this, you need to take half a raw potato and rub it on the mirrors, and then wipe them dry.
Double-sided ironing
In order not to spend a lot of time on ironing, you can put a layer of foil under the item. The iron must be hot enough for this ironing method. Things will be ironed on both sides at once, which will simplify the housewife’s task.
Minimum things
Truly lazy housewives will not keep a large number of figurines, souvenirs and other trinkets in their home. All these items clutter up your home and make life difficult. The minimalist style looks modern and neat, but its main advantage is saving time and effort on cleaning.
These simple tricks will help the housewife quickly get her house in order. Using the tips listed above will simplify your everyday life and free up time for more pleasant and useful things.
