Savvy Secrets From The Experts

Who better than the experts?   Thanks to Trending Moms, here are some “clever cleaning tricks”.1.   Pick up pet hair with rubber gloves.

Pets shed off a lot of hair all year round. Picking it up with your bare hands can be a hassle. Next time try putting on a pair of rubber gloves and slightly damped with water. Pet hair should stick to the gloves like a magnet, making cleaning up pet hair a breeze!

2.  Remove toilet bowl stain with a pumice stone.

Pumice stones are easy to find. They are sold in local hardware stores. Alternatively, you may also use duct tape and vinegar, but that technique takes longer and is messier. Opt for pumice stones that come with a handle to easily remove stains in and around your toilet.

3.  Clean shower head with vinegar.

Fill a plastic bag with vinegar. Make sure to add enough vinegar to fully submerge your shower head in vinegar. Use a rubber band or string to tie the bag onto your shower head and let it sit overnight. The next morning your shower head should be clean as new!

4.  Remove water rings with a hair dryer.

Here is a simple solution to the annoying water rings on your wooden table. Grab your trusty hair dryer and plug it in to “blow dry” the water rings away. It should disappear within 15 minutes. After drying, apply some olive oil to moisturize your furniture.

Put 500ml water with lemons in a microwaveable glass bowl. Microwave on high for 5 minutes. Leave it inside until the liquid cools down.
