If you don't want to battle your bedroom or get bored cleaning your bathroom any longer, get ready to enjoy a much easier ride!

1. Dust light bulbs with clean paintbrushes

Then you won't have to remove them!

2. Clean mildew out of washing machines with a little bleach and water

To prevent foisty-smelling clothes.

3. Use an iron to remove stubborn stains from carpet

Just iron over greaseproof paper on top of the stain to see the magic!

4. Freshen mattresses with baking soda and essential oil

Leave for a few hours and hoover up.

5. For crisper sheets, clean your iron with salt

This will remove limescale build up.

6. Pop some vanilla pods in your oven on low

For a gorgeous clean scent throughout your home.

7. Run a few inches of hot water in your bath

To make cleaning the room quicker, then finish the bathtub last.

8. Use hair catchers in the sink and bath drains

Prevention is always better than cure.

9. Use newspaper to clean windows instead of cloths

Cloths always leave streaks.

10. Drop denture cleaning tablets in your toilet bowl overnight

For easy, deep cleaning.

11. Add a little bleach when washing white bed linen

To get the dead skin cells and any saliva stains out.

12. Dust ceiling fans to keep allergies at bay

16. Wash your shower and screen while you're in it

It's so much easier!
