10 Cleaning Tricks Which Everyone Needs to Know!

Cleaning the home thoroughly is never easy. No matter how often we do it, it always takes a lot of our time and it is also very important that you do it properly. This is why we have prepared a few cleaning tips that can help you clean faster and more efficiently.

Cleaning sponge

The cleaning sponge is the perfect environment for bacteria to breed in. These harmful bacteria can spread on your dishes too so it is important to get rid of it. You can do that by microwaving your sponge for 2 minutes.

Washing machine

Put 2 cups of vinegar in the washing machine and run it for about 1 hour. Start it once again for a complete cycle. In case there is some dirt scrub it with white vinegar and a sponge. Then, pour 2 cups of bleach and leave it for 1 hour. You can clean the knobs, lids, crannies and nooks with cotton swabs. Start the machine again for a complete cycle and afterwards it will be clean and shiny.

Baseboard

Clean the dirty baseboards with fabric softener sheets.

Carpet and mattress stains

Mix hydrogen peroxide and dish soap and use it to clean the carpet stains. It will remove them completely and in a very short time.

Water stains on taps

Water stains reappear all the time so you probably clean them very often. However, you can prevent this by rubbing them with wax paper. This will also keep fingerprints away.

Toilet rings

Put a piece of Mr. Clean Magic Eraser and leave it overnight. In the morning the toilet ring will be spotless.

Fragrant room

What’s the point of cleaning if your home does not smell nice and fresh afterwards? And not all fresheners do the trick, so you can make your homemade air freshener in this way:

Mix 2 bottle caps of pure vanilla extract and 1 cup of coffee in a bowl and heat the bowl in the oven at temperature of 300-degree F for 1 hour. You home will smell wonderful.

Sticky mess

Cleaning sticky stains is hard sometimes but you can do it easily by rubbing them with a mixture of equal amounts of baking soda and coconut oil.

Bathroom

You can clean your bathtub as efficiently as when using alkaline cleansers if you fill it with hot water.

Light bulbs

Dry lightbulbs can spoil the image of your perfectly clean home. Wipe them with a microfiber cloth and they will look excellent.

These are a few of the most time-consuming cleaning tasks so next time you need to clean make sure you remember them. They will save a lot of your time.

10 Fashion Hacks for Men’s Smart Style Statement!

A man has to be well-dressed to exude his confidence, attractiveness, and charisma. But contrary to popular belief, being well-dressed is not about wearing expensive clothes and latest fashions. It’s all about what you choose and how you wear them. Here are some essential clothing rules that every man should know.

1. KNOW IF A SHIRT FITS YOU

STEP 1 :


• Check the shoulder seams first. They should rest at the edge of your shoulders. Not on top, and not over them. If your shirt fails here, it’s not your size.

STEP 2 :


• Check the buttons. If you sit down and your shirt buttons pull, the shirt doesn’t fit you.

STEP 3 :



• Check where your sleeves end when you let your arms hang by your sides. Sleeves should end by your thumb dimple.

2. GET THE PERFECT-FITTING JEANS USING THIS TRICK

Believe it or not, 90% of men are wearing wrong size jeans that are either too large or too tight. But finding the perfect-fit jeans is not as tough as you think. Simply check if you can fit two fingers comfortably between your hip and the waistband of your jeans. If so, then you have found the right size!

3. THE ZIPPER WON’T STAY UP

When a zipper won’t stay up on jeans with a metal button, the problem is very easy to fix. All that you need is a small key ring. Pry open one end, and slide it through the hole in the zipper tab. While the zipper is up, put the key ring over the metal button. Your jeans will not come unzipped without pulling the key ring back over the metal button. It will not be visible either, especially if the color of the key ring matches the metal button.

4. AVOID CREASED COLLARS BY HANGING YOUR SHIRTS WITH THE TOP BUTTON BUTTONED

When hanging your shirts up on hangers, button the top button to keep the collar band in shape. Doing up the top button will keep your collars stiff, round, and wrinkle free.

5. NEVER COIL YOUR LEATHER BELTS. HANG THEM INSTEAD

If you’ve bought an expensive belt, make sure you hang it vertically and away from sunlight, so as not to damage the leather. Don’t just coil your belts and leave it in drawers.

6. REMEMBER THE “SOMETIMES, ALWAYS, NEVER” RULE OF JACKET BUTTONS.

Suit jackets have three buttons down the front. The top button should sometimes be buttoned , the middle button should always be buttoned , and the last button should never be buttoned. Also remember to unbutton your jacket whenever you sit down.

7. RETHREAD A DRAWSTRING WITH A STRAW

The method is simple, thread one end of your drawstring through the straw and staple it to the end. Then, push the straw through the hole in your hoodie or gym shorts and keep threading through until it comes out the other end. Remove the staple, remove the straw and you’re done.

8. KEEPS YOUR PANTS FROM FALLING OFF THE HANGER

Keep trousers on a hanger with the Savile Row Fold.

9. HOW TO ROLL YOUR SHIRTSLEEVES THE RIGHT WAY

Step 1. Start with sleeves unrolled and un-buttoned.
Step 2. Fold cuff up about two widths of the cuff.
Step 3. Fold the bottom of the cuff up, about one width of the original cuff.
Step 4. Roll one final time, leaving the top of the cuff exposed.

10. USE THE MILITARY TUCK TO MAKE BAGGY DRESS SHIRTS LOOK BETTER.
