Here are some of the best cleaning hacks from Apartment Therapys editors to keep you on top of those cleaning goals this year.
Vinegar To Clean Shower Head
Terri Pous, managing editor shared: I did the old fill a bag with white vinegar and tie it to your shower head overnight trick. It was both extremely easy and incredibly satisfying. I dont want to talk about how much junk it cleared from my shower head, so you dont think Im an animal, but lets just say I feel so much better showering now than I did before.
Cleaning The Oven Gap
Real estate editor Maddie Bilis shared: Im a sucker for cleaning how-tos about things Im probably forgetting to clean. The oven gap that little sliver between the oven and the counter is one of those things. When I learned the butter-knife-wrapped-in-a-washcloth trick this fall, it practically blew my mind. My oven gap is gross no longer.
Finally Washing The Dishwasher
Special Projects director Alison Goldman shared: Running a bowl of white vinegar through the dishwasher to clean it is my new favorite chore, because it requires approximately 17 seconds of effort.
Easily Steaming Clothing
Home director Danielle Blunder said: I still use the old hot shower to steam clothes trick from time to time. Ill hang a dress on the over-the-door towel rack I have and then shower so its wrinkle-free once Im done!
Cleaning Everyday Items Usually Neglected
Adrienne Breaux shared that: It sounds dumb, but I had just never thought to wash my tote bags before? I would just use them for groceries until they got too gross, and then they got demoted to more utilitarian uses like in the laundry room or garage. But of course you can just put them in the washing machine? I feel 100 times healthier now that my collection of totes is being cleaned regularly.
