20 Cleaning Secrets You Don’t Know

1. Clear Furniture Scratches with Olive Oil

It’s normal for your chairs and other furniture to get scratches over time. However, with olive oil, you can cover these scratches.

2. Clean Toilet with Essential Oils

If your toilet has ever given you issues, there’s an easy style of cleaning up. For this process, you need to have lemon, baking soda, and essential oils.

Mix the baking soda with the essential oils and lemon, then put it in the toilet bowl. Wait for about thirty minutes; then, you can scrub and flush the toilet.

3. Clean your Pet’s Hair

If you have pets, hair can get stuck in tight areas. All you need to clear this hair is a rubber glove. Rubber has some elastic properties that help bring out this dirt.
