I’m a cleaning whizz – 3 hacks to leave your house smelling amazing and get your plates sparkling
THERE’S nothing worse than coming home to a dirty, smelly home after a long day at work.
The dishwasher has an odour, the carpets stink, wires can be seen everywhere… It’s true what they say, a cluttered home equals a cluttered mind.
But one woman has shared three easy ways to get the home looking and smelling better than ever, ensuring it always feels peaceful and luxurious at the same time.
Taking to her social media, Chantel Mila said: “Welcome back to inexpensive ways to make your home feel more expensive.”
The first hack on her list is to use essential oils in order to get the carpets smelling fresh.
“Freshen musty carpet by placing essential oil on cotton balls and scattering on carpet,” she wrote over the clip.
She then explained: “Leave for 15 minutes and then vacuum it up”.
The cleaning whizz then shared a nifty hack to hide messy wires and keep them neat.
Using a stick-on hook to demonstrate, she placed it on the back of a large plant pot before placing the wire over it.
“Hide messy wires around your home using stick-on hooks on the backs of your furniture or appliances,” she explained.
And finally, she instructed people to run the dishwasher with a bowl of vinegar, which she said will remove unwanted odours and make the dishes shine more when they come out.
In the caption, TikTok user @mama_mila_ added: “Treat yourself to simple luxuries, which one will you try first?” followed by a black heart emoji.
People were quick to comment as one person said it was a “beautiful” video while a second complained: “but our dishwasher takes like 3h hours, what should we do?”
Chantel replied: “There should be a setting to change the duration”.
Another asked: “Do you put this vinegar without dishes? Or with it?” to which she responded: “I do it without the dishes in it, to let it clean,” followed by a red heart emoji.
Others warned people that if they have pets then they should avoid using essential oils.
“Be careful if you have animals with essential oil,” one person simply wrote.
Another said: “If you have cats, don’t use essential oils at your home!! It’s toxic for them”.
And a third added: “Do not do the essential oils with pets!!!”
