If your towels are not clean, “crumply, odorous, or stinking,”This method may be right for you, said the domestic pro.
“This is what you do. You just use one cup of white vinegar and hot water,”She stated this in the Video.
You can either handwash the towel using hot water and vinegar or put a cup of vinegar in the washing machine.
Wash the towels once more with hot water, one cup of baking soda and then rinse them again.
“This will revive the towels and remove any accumulation within them,”Straka stated.
“Don’t worry, there’s not going to be any vinegar or baking soda smell in your towels.”
Florence Straka (aka the Cleaning Queen) makes tons of videos about organization, cleaning, and decoration.
She also shared a tip about how to handle shoes that smell.
“All you have to do is take a few cotton balls and your favorite essential oil,”She said.
Straka shared that cotton balls can be soaked with 10 to 15% essential oils and then placed in the soles of the feet overnight.
“Your shoe will smell like essential oil rather than some kind of rotten tomato,”She said.
Cleaning experts also recommend this method to get your dishwasher to clean by itself.
Instagram account Zapatas Cleaning Services has shared a handy way toClean your dishwasherUse products you already own.
The cleaning experts explained: “Over time grease soap, scum, and food debris will build up in your dishwasher. Not only does this provide a breeding ground for germs, it also reduces the efficiency of the appliance.”
Professionals recommend cleaning your machine with white vinegar and a brush. This will clean out the sides and filter.
Then, they suggested: “Pour some vinegar into a dishwasher safe cup, put it on the top rack, and run a long cycle.”
“Vinegar will break down grease, soap scum residue, and grime,”The cleaning experts explain.
They continued: “When the cycle is over, remove the cup of vinegar, pour a generous amount of baking soda onto the dishwasher floor, and run another long cycle.”
“The baking soda will eliminate any odors the dishwasher may have,”The host of the video stated.
You can then run two separate cycles to allow the dishwasher to clean itself.
Zapatas Cleaning Services stated that two separate cycles are required because vinegar and baking powder will cancel one another due to their differing levels of acidity.
Instagram users took to the comments section to share their thoughts on the cleaning tip.
“I will be doing this to my dishwasher tomorrow, now I know what to do to clean it. Thanks for this information,”One viewer said so.
Another follower wrote this: “Just bought a house and this advice came at the perfect time! Ugh I’m dreading this though.”
“Good timing my dishwasher is starting to smell funny, I will be trying this today,”A third person commented.
