Cleaning can sometimes seem like a never-ending task. But don’t worry! Here are some simple tricks to make it easier.
Clean your shower head with vinegar (醋).
Shower heads often get dirty and the water doesn’t come out well. Instead of buying a new one, put vinegar in a plastic bag. Tie the bag around the shower head with a rubber band and let it soak (浸泡) for a whole night. The vinegar will clean it, and you’ll have better water flow.
Clean your blender (搅拌机) easily.
After using the blender, fill it half-way with warm water and add a few drops of dish soap. Turn on the blender and run it for 30 seconds. The soapy water will clean the blades (刀片) and the inside. Then wash it with clean water, and it’s ready to use again.
Freshen up your microwave (微波炉) with lemon.
Microwaves can get dirty. Put water in a bowl, and put the lemon pieces in. Microwave it for a few minutes until the water starts to steam (蒸发). The steam helps clean the microwave, and the lemon leaves a fresh smell.
These easy cleaning tips (窍门) can save you time and work. Your home will be cleaner and fresher. Try them out!
