17 Amazing Cleaning Hacks You Haven’t Seen Yet

Do you love a clean home but hate cleaning because of the amount of time it takes? Well, then you’re in luck because I have the most amazing cleaning hacks for you!

Cleaning can get tough and annoying especially when you have a busy life.

You’re dealing with stains, scribbles on the wall, loads of dishes, etc.

So I want to share some tips that I have been using for a while now and some that I myself have recently learned about and thought were pretty genius!

I hope you find a few that will work for you and your family!

This post is all about the best cleaning hacks!

Amazing Cleaning Hacks

Hello! This post may contain affiliate links, which means I’ll receive a small commission if you purchase through my link, at no extra cost to you! Thank you for your support to help keep this blog running! Please read the full disclosure here!

1) Blend To Clean

After using a blender, add soap and water and turn it back on. Blending it with soap and water will clean the walls of it and the blades. All you have to do is rinse it off and you have a clean blender.

2) Magic Eraser

Magic erasers are really useful. They are able to get stains on the walls and tables. (Even sharpie markers!) Worth every penny!

3) Stain Remover

A stain remover is the best for stains on clothes, beddings, and any other fabric items. (I’ll link below) This stain remover will remove almost any stain and has helped me tremendously.

4) Clorox To Unclog Bathroom Sink

I have no idea why or how this works but it does and does so well.

If you are finding water building up in the sink while you are brushing your teeth, try this hack and you will be pleasantly surprised to see how it works.

5) Lint Roller As A Duster

We used this hack at work. The fabric tables would easily get dust and hairs on them so running through with a duster did the job well and fast!

This works great on fabric lamps and headboards.

6) Fabric Refresher

Use a fabric refresher if you have guests coming over and need a quick refresh of your home. (This is really great if you don’t have time to wash the floors or do a cleaning session)

7) Olive Oil To Polish Sink & Wooden Items

I was skeptical about this one until I gave it a try on my own.

After cleaning my sink, I added olive oil to a napkin and basically buffed my faucet- when I tell you, my faucet hasn’t shined like that in a while, I really do mean it. (No, the oil doesn’t stay since you are buffing it in)

Again, I don’t know how or why but it works, and I’ll be using this hack again!

8) Disposable Plate As A Sheild For A Hand Mixer

I don’t know about you, but I’m a mess when it comes to using my hand mixer.

Everything gets splattered- including me. If I had come across this hack earlier, let’s just say it would have saved me a ton of time.

So what you do is, get a paper plate and stick the mixers through it to the top.

This way when your use the mixer, just the paper plate gets splattered and all you have to do is toss it after.

(I’ll insert a picture, for those that are confused because that was me before I saw it!)

9) The Pink Stuff

Yes, this product is called “The Pink Stuff”. It has been all over social media and almost everyone has been boasting about it.

From what I saw it’s a better cleaner than our trusty baking soda!

You just put it on a greasy surface, let it sit and scrub. Voila. Clean stovetop!

10) Knife & Wipe For Thin Areas

If you have areas that you can’t normally reach, (like the side of the stovetop) all you have to do is grab a butter knife, wrap the desired wipe around it, and bam.

You are now able to clean all that gunk out without pulling out the stove or doing any other hard work.

11) Using Your Dishwasher To Your Advantage

If you have a dishwasher, you will love this hack. You can use your dishwasher to wash your kid’s toys, dog toys, and even hats!

Now if that isn’t mindblowing-I don’t know what is!

The toys made sense to me. (like plastic and silicone items)

Hats on the other hand were a very new thing to me. People love it tho because the caps keep their shape since they are just sitting there the entire time instead of being thrown around as they would be in a washer. (use this hack at your own risk!)

12) Warm Water & Vineger For Glasses

cleaning tips and hacks

If you keep getting cloudy glasses, fill the sink up with a little bit of warm water and add vinegar, set your glassware in there and watch the cloudiness and unwanted fingerprints disappear!

13) Damp Cloth & Dryer To Get A Wrinkle Free Shirt

Throw in that wrinkled shirt you want to wear into the dryer with a damp cloth and have it “iron” it for you while you get ready!

14) Rice For Coffee Blender Cleaning

If you love using your coffee blender for more items than just coffee,(like spices) use this hack. Get a handful of rice and watch it clean off the blades and get rid of the smell.

Now you can use your coffee blender for whatever you need without being afraid of a lingering smell.

15) Use A Swiffer, Microfiber Cloth, & Window Cleaner For Mirrors

This is a great hack especially for us “fun size” people out there. Or if you just have really tall mirrors or windows you just can’t reach! Attach a Microfiber cloth to your Swiffer, spray down your mirror, and wipe!

You now have professionally clean windows and mirrors in your home!

16) Dryer Sheets For Baseboards And Blinds

baseboard cleaning hacks

Dryer sheets can work for more than laundry. As well as sticking them around the house to make all the corners smell good, you can use them to clean your baseboards and blinds since they grasp onto dust easily.

They also work as a repellent against dust after you use them! Who knew!

17) Use Lint To Wipe Down Dryer & Washer

If your dryer tends to get a lot of lint dust on the surface, the easiest way to clean it up is with… LINT.

Yes, cleaning the lint of your dryer with lint works like a miracle.

So before tossing away your lint from the previous load, gather up all that excess lint and dust around your dryer and washer. Thank me later!
