10 Graphs That Will Make you Pro at Cleaning Anything

written by Silas & Grace

Let’s get real, cleaning anything and everything can be a bit of a hassle (or it’s just a task we’re not up for). But at some point it needs to be done, and this is the incorruptible truth of keeping home and possessions. That is unless you’re fine with being like one of those people from the show, Hoarders.. then that’s a whole different story. But if you’re like everyone else, then you’re probably going to need some cleaning hacks and tips to get the job done.

Down below I found some great infographics to help you get started on cleaning up the different areas and items in your home. But I also picked out a hack from each one that I felt was the best (and personally knew to be true). And sometimes I give one of my own cleaning hacks as well. So read through them and make sure let me know in the comments if you have any questions!

Basically Every Cleaning Hack You Need For Clothes

Laundry Stain Removal Guide

Perspiration: Whether it’s summer or not, it always feels inevitable that sweat stains are going to pop up on our favorite (light colored) tops. So making a baking soda/water mixture is a great way to get rid of it. Just make sure you throw it into the wash around 10 minutes after applying.

Extra Tip: If you don’t have baking soda, just use lemon juice and water to get rid of the sweat stains.

How to Remove Every Type of Stain

Remove Ink With Hairspray: Now this is one of my own cleaning hacks and it’s helped me out so many times. Now I know that milk can help, but hairspray is a great way to get ink off your clothes without having to wash it afterwards (if you don’t wash the milk out, it’ll goes sour.. which isn’t so great… especially on a date).

How Often You Need to Wash Everything

Jeans Every 3 Wears: It’s so important that you remember to wash your jeans every 3 wears (or better yet, 5+ wears). It may sound a bit gross, but unless it’s super hot and humid out, or you’re rolling in mud, your jeans should not be washed often. They’re one of the clothing items that gets damaged the most (with fabric and color) when in the washing machine.

For the Bathroom

Now I thought this one was super helpful, especially since the bathroom is almost everyone’s least favorite place to clean. So why not find a way to shorten your cleaning time?

For Your Carpet

Remove Gum with Ice: Probably my most favorite out of all these tips since the situation is so unique, but probably the most frustrating.

15 Cleaning Hacks

Remove Stove Stains with a Hydrogen Peroxide and Baking Soda Mixture: Now this is a tip of my own and it’s worked for me so many times. Just make sure to leave it on for about 10 minutes and take off with a paper towel.

Extra Tip: This mixture also takes off counter stains as well when left on for around 10 minutes.
