Unexpected Cleaning Solutions
The days of splurging on expensive cleaners are over. FOREVER.
Basic supplies (like Borax and dish soap) can function far beyond their normal uses. They can actually tackle a ton of hard-to-clean areas in your home, so you don’t have to buy a different cleaner for every mess, spill, and surface. These weird and unusual uses for things in the back of your pantry might just change your life.
Dish Soap Hacks
Don’t let your dish soap die at the kitchen sink. You can unleash its magic on pretty much everything — from unclogging toilets to defogging eyeglasses, dish soap is an A+ cleaner you’ll always want in your pantry.
WD-40 Hacks
WD-40 has over 2,000 known uses — but here’s where it’s a game changer: WD-40 can deep clean your toilet, remove crayon marks from walls, dissolve stickers and stuck-on adhesive, and clean water stains off glass shower doors.
Magic Eraser Hacks
Magic erasers are best known for cleaning wall flaws, but here’s what most people miss: they can clear stubborn microwave splatter, remove sticker residue, wipe permanent marker off glass, and erase red-sauce stains from tupperware.
Cardboard Box Hacks
Are you an online shopper with a cardboard box problem? Say no more. You can use leftover cardboard boxes to make DIY drawer dividers, build a collapsible playhouse, protect floors from furniture scuffs, and create your own stylish coasters.
Borax Hacks
Borax your way to blemish-free surfaces, stains, drains, and so much more. Borax is a sanitizing superstar, but it can also put out grease fires, whiten pillows, eliminate pests, and replace your favorite all-purpose cleaner.
Command Hook Hacks
Command Hooks are the GOAT of easy organization. Hanging hair tools, hiding power cords, and baby proofing fridge doors are just a few genius ways Command Hooks come in handy.
