Cleaning Hacks

Well, what can we say? Our days of following Mrs Hinch’s Instagram stories have inspired us to share some handy cleaning hacks we’ve picked up along the way. We hope you find these useful. 

Think sinks 

Kitchen drains can often get a build up of bacteria which can cause funky smells in your home. Start by tipping 1 cup of soda crystals down your drain, then add 1 cup of vinegar. This will cause a fizzing reaction, and should see away any food residue. Then pour 1 cap full (approx. 10ml) of concentrated multi-purpose disinfectant to leave your sink smelling as fresh as a daisy.

Micro-wave goodbye to grime

In a microwavable jug, add 500ml water and two tablespoons of vinegar. Heat on full power for 7 minutes and then leave in your microwave for an additional 3 minutes to let the steam really do it’s ping! The steam will not have only loosened those stuck-on-spillages but it will have disinfected and deodorised your microwave. You can now wipe away the grime effortlessly.

Bin those bad odours

Bins are another place where nasty odours like to play. Now, you can buy a product specifically for this (and they do work!), but an even cheaper hack is just to pop some soda crystals in the bottom of your bin, along with a kitchen towel soaked in concentrated disinfectant. The crystals will mop up any bin juice that collects and the disinfectant will keep things smelling sweet.
