Pre-Rinsing: The Secret to a Cleaner Home

I'm excited to share with you the first cleaning habit that I learned from my Mom: pre-rinsing. This simple practice can make a huge difference in the cleanliness of your home.

When you pre-rinse dishes before loading them into the dishwasher, you remove food particles and grease that can clog the machine and prevent your dishes from getting fully clean. It's a small step that can save you from having to rewash dishes later.

But pre-rinsing isn't just for dishes. You can also pre-rinse fruits and vegetables to remove any dirt or pesticides. This extra step ensures that you're consuming cleaner, healthier produce.

So, next time you're doing the dishes or preparing fresh produce, remember to follow my Mom's advice and pre-rinse. Your home will be cleaner, and your meals will be healthier.

The Power of Abrasive Cleaners

Another valuable cleaning habit that I learned from my Mom is the use of abrasive cleaners. These strong cleaning agents are great for tackling tough stains and grime.

Abrasive cleaners, such as scrubbing powders or pastes, contain tiny particles that help to physically scrub away dirt and residue. They're especially effective on surfaces like tubs, sinks, and stovetops.

When using abrasive cleaners, it's important to follow the instructions and wear gloves to protect your hands. Some cleaners may be too harsh for delicate surfaces, so always test on a small area first.

By incorporating abrasive cleaners into your cleaning routine, you can achieve a higher level of cleanliness in your home. Say goodbye to stubborn stains and hello to a sparkling clean space.

Hovering Above the Toilet: A Game-Changing Technique

Here's a cleaning habit that might sound a bit unusual, but trust me, it works. My Mom taught me to hover above the toilet when cleaning it, instead of kneeling down or sitting on the floor.

By hovering above the toilet, you can effectively clean both the bowl and the base without straining your back or getting dirty. It's a game-changing technique that saves time and eliminates discomfort.

To clean the toilet, simply spray the bowl and base with a disinfecting cleaner, then use a brush to scrub away any stains or residue. With this method, you can maintain a hygienic bathroom without the hassle.

So, the next time you're tackling bathroom cleaning, give my Mom's hover technique a try. Your back will thank you, and your toilet will be clean and germ-free.
