Keeping your home clean doesn’t always mean spending hours scrubbing or investing in expensive cleaning products. In fact, many of the best cleaning tricks come from everyday items you already have in your kitchen or bathroom. At Bee Friends Cleaners, we’ve learned that small, consistent efforts make a huge difference in maintaining a fresh and welcoming home. That’s why we’ve put together this list of 10 simple cleaning hacks every homeowner should know. These tips are quick, practical, and eco-friendly—so you can enjoy a cleaner home without the stress.
1. Vinegar for Clear Windows
Mix vinegar with water and wipe with a microfiber cloth. No streaks, no chemicals—just sparkling glass.
2. Lemon Steam for Microwaves
Heat a bowl of water with lemon slices for 3 minutes. The steam loosens grime, and the lemon leaves a fresh scent.
3. Baking Soda on Carpets
Sprinkle, wait 15 minutes, and vacuum. Odors disappear, leaving your carpet fresh.
4. Rubber Gloves for Pet Hair
Run damp rubber gloves over couches or rugs. Hair clings instantly, no lint roller needed.
5. Vinegar Bag for Showerheads
Tie a bag of vinegar around your showerhead overnight. By morning, water flow feels brand new.
6. Pillowcase for Ceiling Fans
Slide a pillowcase over fan blades and wipe. Dust stays trapped inside instead of falling on the floor.
7. Toothpaste Trick
White toothpaste cleans scuffed sneakers and shines silverware in minutes.
8. Dryer Sheet on Baseboards
Wipe baseboards with a dryer sheet to repel dust longer.
9. Coffee Filter for Screens
A dry coffee filter wipes away dust from TVs and laptops—no scratches, no lint.
10. Ice Cube for Carpet Dents
Place an ice cube on dents left by furniture. Once melted, fluff the fibers back up.
