Microwave

Is there anything worse than splatter inside your microwave? Get your sponge and start wiping!

Cutting boards

You can remove smells and stains from your cutting boards by running a cut lemon over them and giving them a good rinse.

Oven

You may need a heavy-duty scrubber to get rid of dirt in your oven, or if you’re oven has a self-cleaning function get it going to remove stubborn grime.

Fridge

Give all the shelves and interiors a good swipe down to get rid of any spillage - This will improve the appearance and smell.

Stovetop

Make your stovetop shine again by removing any oils, stains and grime from its surface.

Reusable grocery bags

Reusable bags are fantastic, but make sure you give them a good shake and wipe down to ensure no lingering food or waste is left inside. 

Grout

If your bathroom has white grout, give it some TLC to ensure it stays white and bright. Get yourself grout cleaner and a good scrubbing brush and you’re sorted.

Shower Screen

Remove soap scum with some warm soapy water and a good rinse - Your shower screens will look good as new. 

Walls & Ceiling

Make rooms feel instantly brighter by wiping down your walls and ceiling. This is especially great for anyone with kiddies or pets who come into contact with the walls frequently.

If you have ceiling fans, try to remove the dust on top of the blades so when used over summer you’re not spreading dust.

Windows

Like shower screens, windows can look fresh and shiny with some soapy warm water and a bit of elbow grease.

Furniture

Have upholstered furniture and cushions? Get them outside and gently beat them down to remove any dust. You can also vacuum any cervices to ensure they are dust and dirt free.

Wooden furniture can also be wiped down to ensure they are clean and dust free. You may event want to give your wooden furniture a wax, buff and clean.

Curtains & Drapes

Give your curtains and good wipe over to remove any dust. You may also be able to pop them in the washing machine or have them dry-cleaned, however, check care tags to ensure this is possible.  

Closet
