This is an update to a post I made a couple years ago. While spring may be coming to an end, the cleaning never stops. Here are a couple cleaning hacks to make your daily cleaning chores a little easier so that you have more time to do the things that you really enjoy.  


1. Swifter Dust Sock 
Quit wasting money on expensive swifter replacement pads and make your own reusable duster pad from an old sock. {via}

Follow these few simple steps to keep your towels smelling fresh and mildew free. {via}




3. Clean Fireplace Glass

5. Clean fan blades with a pillow case 
To clean fan blades, toss a pillowcase over the blade then slowly pull off. All of the dust and dirt will stay contained inside the pillowcase. {via}

7. Spend less time cleaning by using turtle wax
Spend less time shining your faucets, sinks, and tiles by polishing them with turtle wax . The wax acts as a protective barrier preventing water and soap buildup. {source not found}
