Hi guys, welcome back to my channel. In today's video, I'm going to be sharing with you some
lazy cleaning hacks. Obviously, on my channel, I make so much cleaning content, but you may
not know that I actually love cleaning. I want to do it fast. I clean because I have
to. So these are a few quick hacks that I have found and researched and tested out in
this video. So I hope you really like them. If you're new around here, I would love you
to subscribe and stick around for more cleaning content. I post every Monday, Wednesday, and
Friday and I would love to have you as a viewer. So yes, without further ado, let's get into
my hacks. Okay, so my first hack is a lazy but effective way to clean your shutters really
easily. All you're going to need for this one is some kitchen tongs, two cloths, and
some elastic bands as well.
So all you have to do is wrap the cloths around the ends of the tongs and then secure that
with the elastic bands and then you can wipe both sides of your shutters at once. This
is really quick and effective and worked great for me because we have about three rooms in
our house that have shutters. My next lazy cleaning hack is to use your dishwasher for
anything that is waterproof. It doesn't have to just be for dishes. It's also great to
put any sticky toys into or I really like to wash our toothbrush holder in this as well
because it gets quite grubby. Some people even put their toothbrushes into the dishwasher
and it's also great to put in your bath toys. You can also put it on a slightly hotter wash
if you want to get it really clean and you can even wash storage containers.
And my next hack is such a simple one. It's just to put some toilet's disinfectant or
cleaner in the bottom of your toilet brush. That way it can have some cleaner on the brush
when you use it and can also be disinfecting any germs that are going back into the toilet
brush. Obviously, this is probably not the best idea if you have a crawling baby that's
going to grab it, but if you don't, this is a nice simple lazy hack. I also have a great
hack on how to get your shower head from looking like this to looking like this. It's super
simple. All you're going to need is some white vinegar. Put your white vinegar into a plastic
bag and then add your shower head so that it is in the vinegar. Secure the bag on with
some elastic bands and just leave that for five minutes or however long it takes you
to clean the rest of your bathroom. So just leave it sat there and then you'll see that
when you wipe it away with a scrubby brush or even just with a cloth, it comes off so
quick and easily and it will be sparkling clean.
This really works and it is a nice fast, natural way to clean it. And if you ever need something
dry in a hurry, I have a great hack on how to speed up the drying process. Get a big
fluffy towel and chuck that into the tumble dryer with the wet item. Leave that for about
10 to 15 minutes and then take the towel out and you'll see that the towel will absorb
quite a lot of the moisture and then you can leave it to dry a bit longer. Also, if you
don't like ironing like me, I have a great hack on how to iron a school shirt without
actually ironing it. Put that into your tumble dryer along with a wet cloth or flannel and
leave that for about 5 to 10 minutes in the dryer. This kind of steams the shirt and it
really does work to get some of the creases out and it's a great one if you're running
around in the morning and you don't have time to iron.
I also have a great way on how to clean the inside of your microwave and it's another
nice natural way to clean it. All you're going to need is a bowl of water and some white
vinegar. So you'll want to add a bit of vinegar to the water. I added about a third of a cup,
but I'm pretty much just eyeballing it. Then you'll want to take the bowl, put that into
the microwave for about four minutes on high and what it's going to do is obviously heat
up and it's going to create steam inside the microwave and help to melt off any food that
is on the walls or the roof of your microwave. While that's going as well, you can clean
the outside of it. I like to use this cloth. It's a Marigold Squeaky Clean cloth. It works
really well on stainless steel and glass as well. And then once the time is up, you'll
be able to then wipe off all of the steam. My microwave is actually really clean when
I was showing this, so apologies that it's not dirtier.
But you can actually use some of the water and vinegar mixture to help you wipe off the
walls inside and this works wonders. And yeah, I love it. And another simple hack which will
help to save your baking trays from getting like this is to make sure that you put tinfoil
onto your baking trays. I'm sure so many of us do this, but it's definitely worth saying
because it really will protect them. And I also have a lazy hack on how to clean your
blender. I like to make smoothies in the morning and most of the time they're really quick
and easy to clean. But if I put something like almond butter in there or honey, they
can get really messy and really sticky. So if that does happen, all you have to do is
add some washing up liquid and water to your blender straight after you've used it, then
pop it back on its station, turn it on, and the soap and water will blend all of the food
away, the almond butter and the honey, and it makes it so much easier to clean.
And this next hack I found online, and it's a way of brightening up your white trainer
soles if they get a little bit grubby. And it said to put some toothpaste onto the soles
of your shoes, and then using a toothbrush that you obviously no longer use anymore,
rub the toothpaste into the soles of your shoes and then leave that for a few minutes
before giving it a really good scrub and then wiping it off. As you can see here, it definitely
did brighten up the soles of my shoes, but I also wanted to share with you an easier
way that I also wash my shoes. I love these magic erasers. I just buy them in Pound Land
and they're fabulous for all sorts of different cleaning things, but they also work great
on the soles of shoes, as you can see here. Great, so that's it for this video. I really
hope you enjoyed it. Let me know in the comments which hack was your favorite, and I'll see
you in my next one. Bye, guys.
