Didn't you love when your grandma would give you smart household hacks that are still useful today? I miss my grandma so much but not just for that reason.
Even though cleaning has evolved over the years there are still old proven ways that you can get rid of stains, clean messes and get stuff done in a jiffy. Check out these vintage tips and reminisce.
I absolutely hate when I see water stains on my dining room table. But apparently, a bit of a conventional non-gel toothpaste works great.
Speaking of salt, you can also sprinkle your sink with it and its abrasive nature will help you scrub it clean. Who knew?
Don't eat all the onions at your next BBQ! Save one to clean the grill afterward and keep the chemicals away from your grate.
The most natural way to get that soap scum off your shower wall is to scrub it with lemon. The acid will help break up gunk.
Oh, the dreaded hard water stains in the toilet bowl! Just pour vinegar in the bowl, scrub, then follow up with baking soda and again with vinegar and voilà!
I confess I never do that! I really need to fill a plastic bag with vinegar and let it soak.
Again baking soda and vinegar to the rescue. Pour one cup baking soda down the drain then rinse with hot vinegar. Watch the bubbles do their work.
Having a cat is great but it's not great having that cat smell in the house. A little baking soda in the litter works wonders.
No fancy fixes here. Just plain old lemon peels will do the trick. No need for any nasty chemicals either. Whoa, how awesome.
It's so annoying trying to get grease off your pots and pans, but nothing that a little baking soda can't handle. Just pour and scrub.
This one is really basic, just throw a tablespoon of salt in your washer's water. Sodium chloride prevents clothes from fading. Awesome tip.
If you can believe it, the acid in onions will act as a cleaning agent for your rusting knives. And you had that unassuming onion in your pantry all along.
Ah, it's so annoying. But cleaning that sticky mess gets easier if you just sprinkle salt on it and let it dry, then dust away.
Who knew it practically was the magic ingredient in so many cleaning hacks? Ha! No more chemicals.
