1. Make Your Oven Glass Top Shine

Most likely, you’ve spent hours cleaning and scraping your oven to remove the grime. It isn’t easy with glass because it can be scratched easily. Dawn soap is your secret weapon for cleaning the oven. We all know it is helpful for many other things than dishwashing. Rub a small bottle of Dawn soap on top of your oven.

Go to the bathroom and take out the peroxide. Use a small amount of this to coat the Dawn. It will make you feel insane, but it will work. You’ll now sprinkle some baking soda on top. Take a moment to admire the mess and get a dish brush. Be careful not to make your glass scratchy with the bristly dish brush. Clean the glass top of any grime. Next, use a damp cloth to wipe away all the dirt. The result is a shiny, new glass top.

2. DIY Air Fresheners

Making your air fresheners using essential oils and water is a great way to add a natural and personalized scent to your home. Here’s how to do it: Choose your essential oils. Some popular choices for air fresheners include lavender, peppermint, lemon, eucalyptus, and tea tree. You can use a single oil or mix and match to create your custom blend.

Fill a spray bottle with water and add a few drops of your chosen essential oil(s). The number of drops you use will depend on the size of your spray bottle and how strong you want the scent to be. Start with 10-15 drops and adjust as needed. Give the bottle a good shake to mix the oil and water together. Then, spritz the mixture around your home as necessary to freshen the air. You can use it in any house room, on furniture, carpets, and even bed linens.

3. Repurpose Dryer Sheets

Don’t toss your dryer sheets in the trash after they’ve gone through the laundry cycle! These little sheets are actually superheroes when it comes to cleaning and freshening up your home. Here are some exciting ways to repurpose them: First, use them as a dusting cloth! The antistatic properties of dryer sheets make them great for grabbing onto dust and debris, leaving your household surfaces looking spick and span.

Next, freshen up your drawers, closets, and laundry baskets. Even after a spin in the dryer, dryer sheets still carry enough fragrance to keep your spaces smelling clean and inviting. You could even toss a few in the door pockets of your car to rid it of stale odors. And lastly, give your stainless steel appliances and chrome furniture some love with a used dryer sheet. You’ll be surprised how easily it removes stubborn fingerprints and water spots, leaving your surfaces sparkling.
