Smart Cleaning Hacks for a Fresh and Inviting Home

There’s something about a new season that inspires a fresh start. It’s the perfect time to clear out the clutter, reset your space, and bring a sense of calm back into your home. While a deep clean might sound daunting, the right tools and a few clever tricks can make it surprisingly satisfying.All of these expert tips come straight from T.House 99 Tips & Hacks by Tina Nettlefold—our downloadable e-book filled with practical, eco-conscious cleaning advice to keep your space beautifully organised.

Living Room Refresh

  • Swap disposables for microfiber cloths – They trap dust more effectively and are gentle on surfaces.
  • Top-to-bottom strategy – Dust first, tidy next, vacuum or mop last.
  • Reach high spots easily – Use an extendable duster for curtain rods and ceiling fans.
  • Pillowcase fan trick – Slip a pillowcase over each blade to catch dust as you wipe.
  • Don’t forget under furniture – Hidden spots are dust magnets!

Kitchen Clean-Up

  • Go natural – Stock bicarbonate soda, vinegar, and lemons for powerful, chemical-free cleaning.
  • Polish stainless steel – A lemon slice cuts grease and leaves a fresh scent.
  • Steam mop floors – Deep clean and sanitise without harsh chemicals.
  • Oven hack – Place lemon slices in a dish of water, heat at 160°C for 15 minutes, then wipe clean.
  • Behind the scenes – Vacuum fridge coils and clean behind appliances to boost efficiency.

Bathroom Basics

  • DIY spray – Mix vinegar, dish soap, warm water, and essential oils for an all-purpose cleaner.
  • Revive your shower head – Soak in vinegar for 15 minutes to break down build-up.
  • Grout fix – Scrub with a mix of bicarb soda and hydrogen peroxide.
  • Mirror magic – Apply shaving cream, wipe, and enjoy a streak-free shine.

Bedroom Reset

  • Mattress detox – Sprinkle with bicarbonate soda and essential oils, let sit, then vacuum.
  • Wardrobe cleanse – Donate anything you haven’t worn in the past year.
  • Curtains & blinds – Wash and dust regularly for better air quality.
  • Invest in a quality vacuum – Especially useful for carpeted rooms.
