You will quickly see that the grime will dissolve away and your oven will look like new again. Now, you need not shy away from using your oven!

Cleaning containers is a boring chore, let's face it. So, how can we speed up doing this chore? Well, take half a lemon, squeeze a few drops of its juice into the container, add the lemon half itself and close the container. Once closed, shake the container energetically and the dirt will transfer itself from the container to the lemon.

Nothing could be easier!

The toilet is the one thing that we most want to keep clean at all times, but this can be a real challenge. Over time, the porcelain/ceramic can get covered in limescale which later turns yellow. So, what can we do?

Take a bottle of cola, mix a tablespoon of detergent into it, close and shake well. Once this is done, transfer the mixture into a spray bottle and spray the mix onto the dirty surface. After waiting a bit, flush and you will see that your toilet is spotless.

Struggling to remove greasy dirt? Well, don't worry: there is a very quick way to deal with this. A sponge, a slice of lemon and a drop of detergent is what you need.

Cut the sponge in the center and insert the lemon slice into the incision. Now, add a few drops of dishwashing liquid to the sponge, squeeze it to create a little foam and start scrubbing on the greasy grime. Quickly, the grease will be dissolved away, leaving only a fresh citrus scent.

Easy, quick and cheap tips that will help you with your daily chores. Did you already know about some of these tips?
