I’m a cleaning whizz – how to keep spiders out of your bedroom & 10 easy hacks to make your home sparkle on a budget
A CLEANING expert has shared her top tips to keep the house looking fresh and sparkling without breaking the bank.
Chantel Mila is a pro cleaning, styler and organiser and often uses her social media to post her top tips and tricks of the trade.
In one such video, she shared some of her favourite “home hacks that will change the way you clean”.
She began by lining tall shelves in the kitchen with newspaper in a bid to keep dust away from longer.
Chantel then shared a clip of a man using a flat microfibre mop to clean hard-to-reach areas of the house, explaining that it’s the “easiest way to clean ceilings and skirting boards”.
Next, she sprinkled some baking soda on one half a lemon before scrubbing the bottom of a sink.
She explained that this “deodorises your sink and makes it sparkle”.
Chantel said the mixture is also perfect for getting rid of rust around the home, including from knives.
“Soak dingy whites with denture tablets to whiten them instantly,” she went on to share, demonstrating the process to viewers.
She then deodorised bath mats with one cup of baking soda before placing it into the washing machine for a cycle.
When it comes to keeping spiders out, she said adding rosemary into a spray bottle with water does the trick.
She sprayed the solution across all window sills to allow it to work its magic.
The cleaning whizz then tackled the issue of carpets where the corners had been lifted.
“You can fix lifting rug corners by placing on ice cubes alongside a heavy object,” she shared.
Mixing Epsom salt and essential oils into a bag can keep your wardrobe smelling fresh, she went on to share.
And further explained that lining the clothes vertically rather than horizontally can also make it look neater and save space.
People were quick to comment as one person wrote: “WOAH!” as a second shared: “Ooh, great tips!”
A third said: “Great hacks!” followed by a red heart emoji.
