So I thought I'd share some more home cleaning tips.
First up if you don't have one of these in your sink, get some. Cheap from the $2 shops.
drain strainer metal thingo
It'll help stop drains from getting blocked. If it gets stained due to coffee or whatever give it a scrub with barkeeper friend or my friend Gumption.
Never ever ever spray cleaner on vertical surfaces. Some leave streak marks that are incredibly hard to shift. Instead spray on to a cloth, wipe over stain, leave for a minute and wipe back over. Watch the miracle happen. Particularly good for cupboards, walls, picture frames, windows.
For TV's you do something similar. First gently dust the screen with a microfibre. Then wet a lenses cloth with water making sure you ring it out well. Wipe over the screen then go over it again with a dry lenses cloth. Make sure the water doesn't dry naturally on the screen otherwise you might end up with marks. Make sure you do this before you turn the TV on.
I'll share a ~~tip~~ frustration... Always make sure you sweep/vacuum properly before you mop....daaaah
Yes! The bit behind the door matters.
Hahaha. That's a good one otherwise you get mud.
And always dust before you vac. Work from the top down.
