Bonus Kitchen Hack

Friends, I have two more hacks that have come in handy over the years and I hate not sharing them with you. They involve a sock and toilet bowl cleaner.

I have had wooden blinds and even plastic blinds in a few of my kitchen windows. Dust and dirt always seem to collect there without me knowing it (probably because I choose not to look)! By far the easiest way to clean the blinds: Dig into the lost sock drawer, pull one out, dampen it, place your hand inside and get to work. The sock will allow you to easily get a grip of each individual blind and on both sides. Don’t forget to wash out the sock as needed.

Last, if you have tile on your kitchen floor or even your counter, you know how hard it is to keep the grout clean. It’s next to impossible! If you’re like me, you had to go with the light color grout because it was pretty. Well, that mistake is easy to fix.

Get yourself a bottle of toilet bowl cleaner with bleach in gel form. The ‘gel’ is the kicker here. Squeeze a layer of gel on the grout lines. (I suggest working in manageable sections, not the entire floor or counter at one time). Let sit for 10 to 15 minutes. Gently scrub the grout with a stiff plastic bristle brush. Wipe up the floor or counter with a damp cloth. Once you have finished your floor, mop it up as you normally do. As for your counter top, disinfect it as you normally would.

I hope all of these kitchen hacks will make it on your cleaning list and I hope they help you get the clean kitchen you’re looking for. Good luck!
