Household Cleaning Hacks for Quicker Cleanup

Cleaning is probably one of the chores that you hate doing. All that scrubbing, wiping, and brushing just never seem to end. But don't stress yourself out anymore. With these hacks, cleaning will just be quick, leaving you with more time to play with your kid, cuddle with your dog, or simply put your feet up on the couch and watch your favorite show.

Steam-clean your microwave

No need to wipe yourself to death when cleaning the insides of your microwave. Mix equal parts vinegar and water in a microwave-safe bowl and heat it up for five to 10 minutes. Don't forget to place a toothpick or wooden spoon in the mixture to prevent boiling. Then, open the microwave door a couple of minutes after heating and wipe the insides with a sponge soaked in hot water and a little Pine-Sol® All-Purpose Cleaner Lemon Fresh. Wipe down with water for a streak-free finish. To know more about how to de-splatter the microwave, go here.
