- Pop a lemon in your fridge to keep it smelling nice
Why is it that so many of our favourite foods leave our fridge stinking? Cut a lemon in half and put one on the top shelf, one on the bottom shelf, to mask any strong smells in your fridge.
- Get rid of burning smells with salt
Burnt your dinner? If the house now smells of burning, just sprinkle some salt over your burnt pans or any food mess to reduce it. Then cut your losses and order a take away!
- Clean your pans for free with aluminium foil
Tin foil has many uses – for one thing you can use it in place of a scourer. Just scrunch it up into a ball and give pots and pans a scrub. It's a great way to recycle your sandwich wrapping, as well as saving you money.
- Protect wood or laminate floors with a tennis ball
Stop your wooden or laminate floors getting scuffed by chairs or other furniture by cutting tennis balls in half and popping them onto the end of chair, table and sofa legs as floor protectors.
- Polish furniture with olive oil
As well as having great health benefits, olive oil can be handy around the home. Put a few drops onto a duster and use it to polish your wooden furniture – so much nicer than chemical polish, and it won't cause any strong smells.
- Use old tights as dusters
Got a hole in your tights? Don’t throw them away – give them a wash and then use them as a duster. The same goes for odd socks (which we always seem to end up with, no matter how carefully we wash our clothes).
- Use a pastry brush to clean crumbs out of your toaster
Get tricky-to-reach crumbs and burnt bits out of your toaster by unplugging it and sweeping with a pastry brush. This will help your toaster last longer as well as making crumbs less likely to catch and smell.
- Get rid of greasy fingerprints from walls with white bread
It sounds weird, but rubbing finger marks with a slice of white bread will give your walls a new lease of life! We're not sure how someone discovered this, but we're grateful they did.
- Stop your washing machine from smelling with vinegar
Stinky washing machine? Run it empty on a hot wash with a cup of white vinegar inside. This will also help remove limescale and mildew, making the machine last longer and clean more efficiently.
