As students, we don’t always have the time or the energy to do a full sterilization of our items and living quarters. Here are some cleaning tips to get the job done quickly and efficiently.
- Clean your blender by filling it with hot water and soap and blending for a few seconds. Rinse and let dry!
- Blinds can accumulate a lot of dust. Mix 50% vinegar with 50% water and dip a rag or old sock into the concoction and run it along your blinds to eliminate any debris.
- Smelly couch? Sprinkle soda onto the cushions and let sit for about 20 minutes. Vacuum up the excess using the brush attachment; your nose will thank you later.
- Mix vinegar and dish soap in a cup and use a sponge to scrub away unwanted stains in the shower/tub.
- Keyboards always seem to have dirt crammed between the keys. Soak a cotton swab in vinegar to reach those hard to clean crevices.
- Too tired to sweep up those pesky crumbs? Use a lint roller instead!
- Microwaves are a pain to clean. Put equal parts water and vinegar in a bowl and microwave for 5 minutes on high. Take out the bowl and let cool, then wipe with a paper towel. Easy peasy!
- Did red wine stains somehow magically appear on your white walls or counter? No worries! Use a Mr. Clean magic eraser to scrub the dried marks away.
