I’m all about the organization and cleaning tips on Pinterest.com If I can make more space in my over-crowded home, use less expensive and “greener” cleaning products, and make my life easier, you’re my friend. And, Pinterest, you are most definitely my friend.
Here are my favorite tips and tricks I’ve curated from the last few weeks:
DIY Dishwasher Cleaner – According to a pinner, you can place a dishwasher-safe cup filled with plain white vinegar on the top rack of the dishwasher. Using the hottest water available, run the dishwasher through a cycle. The vinegar will help to wash away the loose, greasy grime, sanitizes, and helps remove the musty odor. Next, sprinkle a cupful of baking soda around the bottom of the tub and run it through a short cycle. The baking soda will help freshen and removing stains.
DIY Swiffer Jet Refills – Apparently, all you have to do is boil the cap for a few seconds to release the glue and then you can refill the bottles with whatever you like. This will be life-changing!
Over the Door Craft Organization – I don’t craft much, but I may be inclined to get out markers, crayons, and scissors for the kids if they are easy to find. This seems like a wonderful way to clear out the clutter and make everything visible!
DIY Smooth Surface Stove Top Cleaner – I got the smooth top stove because I thought it would be easy to clean. Hah. It’s impossible. Looking forward to trying the baking soda approach to see if it makes it any easier!
Coloring Book Organizer – What a super cute way to keep coloring books organized and accessible to the kids. Love that it’s so simple!
What neat ideas. I really like the ides of using the dish rack to store books and stuff.
