Don’t use paper towels on your bathroom mirrors – my spring cleaning hacks will make your home shine
WHEN the time to spring clean her home came about, a woman turned to her tried and tested hacks that make the process easy.
She revealed how each surface in her home was shining and free from stains after using tools and products that have never let her down.
Ellen (@ellentheblogger) has almost 6,000 followers on TikTok, where she shares home inspiration videos.
She revealed how to transform difficult-to-clean areas in a now-viral video, which has over 278,000 views.
“Top five hacks for spring cleaning,” she said.
“One, use baby oil on stainless steel to keep it shining and fingerprint-free.
“Two, don’t use paper towels to clean your glass or windows, instead use a Squeegee it will save on costs.”
She demonstrated the first hack by polishing her dishwasher using a soft cloth and baby oil.
A small bottle of baby oil is available for just $2.16 at Walmart.
The surface of the dishwasher sparkled enough almost to show her reflection.
The cleaning whizz then showed how streak-free her bathroom mirrors looked after being wiped with a Squeegee.
The cleaning tool can also be found at Walmart for $6.
“Three, use shaving cream to clean your showers and bathroom,” she continued.
“And to remove any musty odors.
“Four, whiten dingy white clothes by using a few drops of Mrs. Steward’s Liquid Bluing.
“And lastly remove any burn stains from pots or pans with the Bar Keeper’s Friend Cleaner.”
Mrs. Stewart’s Liquid Bluing has been highly rated on Walmart’s website, where it costs $15.
“This stuff really works! It got the mild yellow look out of my whites,” one review reads.
“My whites are brighter and more whiter!! A little goes a long way!”
Shoppers have also raved about Bar Keeper’s Friend Cleaner which is priced at $6.50 for a pack of two at Walmart.

“Go back add more water and wipe it all down.”
