Revive your silverware effortlessly

Revive Your Mattress

How to Clean Your Microwave?
Halve a pair of lemons and arrange them in a glass container filled with water. Heat it until the water boils, then let it stand for a minute inside the microwave. The once-stubborn grime on the interior should now wipe away with ease.
Conquer Grease Stains
Glide a white chalk piece over greasy marks, let it sit briefly, then wipe with a damp cloth. This hack works wonders on both clothing and walls. For fabrics, allow an hour before gently blowing away the chalk residue.
Drying shoes
When your shoes are drenched, stuff them with crumpled newspaper pages to expedite the drying process.
Farewell, Pet Hair
Slip on regular rubber dishwashing gloves, dampen them, and glide your hands across furniture coated in pet hair. Watch as the fur clings to the gloves. For rugs, consider using a standard window scraper – the kind for cleaning windows – to whisk away pesky hair. Prepare to be amazed by the transformation!
Burnt food in a frying pan
Add a small amount of water, just enough to cover the surface, to the pan. Pour in a glass of vinegar and bring to a boil over medium heat. Remove from heat and introduce two tablespoons of baking soda. Watch burnt residues effortlessly loosen and vanish.
Deposits in the kettle
Opt for the simplest solution. Pour a spoonful of water and lemon juice mixture into the kettle. Boil for five minutes, then discard the water, leaving your kettle good as new!
The shower head
Fill a plastic bag with vinegar, securing it to the shower head with rubber bands. Let it sit for an hour or overnight. This ingenious hack will cleanse both the interior and exterior of the shower head, leaving it refreshed.
The sink
Elevate your cleaning game with grapefruit or lemons. Sprinkle salt on either fruit, then employ them to scrub your sink. Witness the transformation as your sink sparkles like crystal!
Deposits on crystal and glassware
Fill a tub with two glasses of warm vinegar (microwave for two minutes to heat). Immerse the dishes completely in the vinegar. After a brief soak, rinse and dry for sparkling results.
Bottles with narrow necks
Fill the bottle with hot water, a dash of dish soap, and half a cup of white rice. Shake vigorously as the rice gently scrubs away dirt. Once deposits break up, give it another shake. Rinse with warm water for a pristine finish.
Dust
Harness the power of an anti-static cloth to effortlessly clean surfaces like baseboards, TV screens, computer screens, bookshelves, and more. Watch as the cloth easily banishes dust from every nook and cranny.
Blinds
Slip a clean sock onto your hand. Dip it in a solution of equal parts water and vinegar, then use your hand to wipe down the blinds. Experience the simplicity of this effective cleaning method.
Drainage
First, pour half a cup of baking soda followed by half a cup of vinegar down the drain. Cover and let it sit for 15 minutes. Finally, rinse with warm water to unveil a revitalized plug hole.
Carpet stains
Treat the stain with a solution of one part vinegar and two parts water. Place a damp cloth over the area and use a hot iron for 30 seconds. For stubborn stains, repeat the process until the blemish vanishes.
Limescale
Combat limescale buildup on tap surfaces by rubbing them with a lemon slice. After a five-minute wait, rinse with water for a sparkling finish.
Coffee grinder/spice mill
Eliminate odors and clean your appliances by grinding rice and adding a tablespoon of baking soda. This simple solution leaves your appliances refreshed and odor-free.
Plastic containers
Erase stains and odors by wiping the affected area with lemon juice. Let it dry and then rinse, for a quick and effective solution.
Animal odours
Combine equal parts baking soda and hydrogen peroxide in a bowl. Wipe the affected area with a sponge, and watch the odor vanish instantly.
The oven
Pour a small amount of spirit of hartshorn (aqueous ammonia solution) into a container and place it in the turned-off oven overnight. Ventilate the room in the morning and then clean the oven. The dirt will effortlessly wipe away, along with any lingering odors. Ensure proper ventilation and use rubber gloves for safety.
Car headlights
Over time, car headlight glass can lose its shine and develop a yellowish tint. To combat this, apply regular toothpaste to the headlights and gently scrub with a toothbrush. Rinse with water, then wipe away with a paper towel or tissue. Watch your headlights regain their sparkling clarity!
