How to Deal with Some of the Most Loathed Household Chores

Thank author of this post/comment

Here are some of the household tasks that are always being done last (or sometimes barely even done at all). Read on to learn some tips on fighting those commonly detested cleaning chores.

Toaster

This is one of the important chores that are left undone. Leaving a dirty toaster not only gives you an untidy appliance, but the crumbs can also smoke and stink up your kitchen. How to clean this small yet valuable appliance? Unplug and remove the crumb tray. Dump out the crumbs, then clean the tray using dish soap and wipe dry with a cloth. Hold the toaster upside down over the trash can and softly tap out remaining crumbs. It is essential for this task to be done every other month.

Shower Doors and Tiles

It is very crucial to clean them in order to prevent growth of mold and mildew into the grout, which, if left longer, can be harder to remove (think renovation of bathroom). A buildup of soap scum can also discolor ceramic and stone tiles. To clean: Spray the walls using an all-purpose cleaner then scrub them with brush having stiff bristles. For the shower doors, use glass cleaner or undiluted white vinegar that has been heated to boiling. Use a microfiber cloth or a non scratch scrubbing sponge. To remove shower door tracks, pour a little vinegar into it then leave for a few minutes. Rub it with the scrub brush and then towel-dry. No need to rinse. Do this every other week for light cleaning and once a month for the shower-door tracks.

Kitchen Trash Can

Not properly cleaning the trash can cause bits of food and liquid to stay there and mold, mildew, and bacteria can grow, resulting to a disgusting odor. Mold and mildew can even get into the air and aggravate allergies. Clean the trash can properly by hosing it down outside or in your bathtub. Wipe dry afterwards. Spray the can inside and out using a cleaner designed for pet messes as these contain enzymes that kill bacteria and counteract bad odors. Wearing rubber gloves, scrub the can with a toilet brush. Rinse afterwards with the hose and then pat dry or let it dry in the sun for better cleaning results as the heat from the sun helps eliminate mold. This should be done every other month or whenever the trash can smells bad.
