Quick & Simple Tips from the Pros at Soo Clean Services
Let’s face it — most of us want a clean home, but few of us want to spend hours scrubbing, wiping, and mopping every day. The good news? You don’t have to. At Soo Clean Services, we’ve seen it all — and we’ve picked up some clever shortcuts along the way that’ll help you maintain a spotless space with less effort.
These 10 easy cleaning hacks are tried, tested, and perfect for busy homeowners who want more sparkle and less stress.
1. 🧦 Use Socks to Clean Blinds
Don’t waste time with fiddly tools. Just slip an old sock over your hand, dip it in a vinegar-water mix, and wipe down your blinds. It picks up dust instantly and gives you full control.
2. 🛁 Shaving Cream for Mirror Fog
Apply a small amount of shaving cream to your bathroom mirror and buff it with a dry cloth. Not only will it stay fog-free longer, but it also repels smudges!
3. 🍋 Lemon & Salt to Clean Cutting Boards
Sprinkle coarse salt on your wooden cutting board, rub it with half a lemon, and rinse. It removes stains, neutralises odours, and sanitises naturally.
4. 🧹 Sweep with Dryer Sheets
Got dust bunnies hiding in corners or under furniture? Attach a dryer sheet to the bottom of your broom to grab dust and leave a fresh scent behind.
5. 🧴 Clean Shower Heads with Vinegar Bags
Fill a sandwich bag with white vinegar and tie it around your shower head using a rubber band. Leave it overnight — it’ll break down limescale and restore water flow.
6. 🧺 Vacuum Your Mattress
Use your vacuum’s upholstery attachment to clean your mattress monthly. Sprinkle a bit of baking soda first to absorb moisture and odors, then vacuum it up for freshness.
7. 🌬️ Freshen Your Home with Boiling Water & Citrus
Simmer slices of lemon, orange, or cinnamon in a pot of water for 30 minutes. It’s a natural air freshener that beats synthetic sprays any day.
8. 🚪 Toothbrush for Tight Spaces
Don’t throw away that old toothbrush! It’s perfect for scrubbing tile grout, window tracks, sink rims, and other narrow areas.
9. 🧼 Squeegee Pet Hair Off Carpets
If you’ve got pets, you know the struggle. Run a clean window squeegee across your carpet or sofa and watch pet hair collect like magic.
10. 🧽 Soak Sponges in the Microwave
Microwave your damp kitchen sponge for 1–2 minutes to kill 99% of germs. Just make sure there’s no metal in it — and let it cool before touching.
