Granite countertops are a popular choice in kitchens for their beauty and sophistication, but they can accumulate dust, grime, and food stains. With a DIY detergent mix of water, rubbing alcohol, dish soap, and a paper towel, you can easily clean and restore their luster.
Mix two cups of water, one-fourth cup of rubbing alcohol, and six drops of dishwashing liquid. Use a paper towel to gently rub the mixture onto the countertop, effectively disinfecting the surface while removing dust, grime, and any food marks.
Cabinet Hardware TLC
Don’t overlook your cabinet hardware and knobs when cleaning your kitchen. Neglecting them can lead to unsightly dust buildup, affecting both their appearance and functionality. While it may not be considered deep cleaning, it’s certainly necessary.
Take an old toothbrush and lather it up with some oil soap. Gently scrub the hardware and knobs to remove dirt and grime. Wipe these surfaces with a soft cloth or an old t-shirt. Your cabinets will look as good as new in no time.
Rust Ring Eradicator
If metallic items are left in the shower or on the counter for too long, they may leave behind unsightly rust rings. These stains can become nearly impossible to clean if left unattended. However, you can create a paste using lemon juice and cream of tartar to effectively remove these stains from affected surfaces. For a deeper clean, scrub the area using an old toothbrush. This method will leave the surface looking clean without a trace of rust, impressing your guests with its impeccable condition.
Crystal-Clear Glass Shower Doors
We’re all familiar with the challenge of cleaning glass shower doors after a relaxing shower. No matter how often you use a squeegee, the glass door may not remain as spotless and transparent as it was when first installed.
This cleaning hack utilizes a stiff brush and some window cleaner to achieve the best results. Instead of wiping the glass with a soft cloth or squeegee, which may leave streaks, use a stiff brush and window cleaner. This method effectively removes soap scum and steam marks, leaving your glass doors sparkling clean.
