Are fingerprints all over the fridge driving you crazy? Use a drop of oil(baby oil or even olive oil will work) on a paper towel to shine stainless steel to get rid of any fingerprints and to keep the surface cleaner for longer. Buff the oil in—going with the grain of the stainless—and wipe off any excess with a clean paper towel.
You will be amazed at how well this works!
Does your bathroom mirror get foggy after you take a shower? If so, it might mean your bathroom exhaust fan isn’t doing its job! All that heat and humidity in the air isn’t good for your walls, and they make your bathroom the perfect breeding ground for mold and mildew. When your exhaust fan is working properly, it helps remove excess moisture and odors from the air. But just like anything else, it gets dirty and needs a good cleaning to help keep it running efficiently. Today I’m going to show you how to clean a bathroom exhaust fan in ten minutes or less!
Most exhaust fans have a plastic cover that just snaps into place, so you shouldn’t need any tools for this job (other than a vacuum and a ladder or step stool). But it never hurts to be prepared, so make sure you know where a screwdriver is just in case you need to remove a few screws to get the cover off.
Tools
• vacuum cleaner with a hand-held hose attachment
• screwdriver (just in case)
• scrub brush
• ladder or step stool
Materials
• soap
• water
Instructions
Start by vacuuming any visible dust and dirt from the fan cover so that it doesn’t fall down onto your bathroom floor when you remove the cover.
Grab the fan cover on either side and gently pull it down toward you. The cover is usually held in place with small metal springs that will allow it to come away from the ceiling about two inches, but won’t let it come off completely.
Find the metal springs on either side of the cover and squeeze them together to allow the fan cover to come free from the ceiling. The cover should come right out with a gentle tug as you squeeze the springs together.
Rinse the cover in the tub or sink to remove any loose dust from the inside.
Clean the cover using a scrub brush and warm soapy water.
Rinse the cover and set it aside to dry.
Before you replace the cover, vacuum the motor housing and other interior parts of the fan that you can reach. Be careful with this part; there are live wires in there! It should be fine if you’re careful to not unplug any wires or knock them loose with the vacuum, but you can always go to your breaker box and turn off the power to the entire circuit if you want to be extra safe.
Once everything is clean, all that’s left to do is put it back together! Squeeze the metal springs together and fit them back into the slots in the fan base. Then gently push the fan cover back up until it is flush against the ceiling again. And you’re done!
If you want to test your fan to make sure it’s working, turn the fan on, then grab a tissue or piece of toilet paper and hold it up near the fan. The fan should suck the paper up against the cover and hold it there.
I was amazed at how much better the fan worked after I cleaned it! Our bathroom was completely steam-free and the mirror had no fog on it! So, if your bathroom is feeling humid or your mirror gets foggy, you probably need to clean your bathroom exhaust fan so that it can start doing its job again!
Let us help you de-germify your home. Book your cleaning before the germs spread. Five common ways germs are spread: Nose, mouth, or eyes to hands to others: Germs can spread to the hands by sneezing, coughing, or rubbing the eyes and then can be transferred to other family members or friends. Simply washing your hands can help prevent such illnesses as the common cold or eye infections. Hands to food: Usually germs are transmitted from unclean hands to food by an infected food preparer who didn’t wash his or her hands after using the toilet. The germs are then passed to those who eat the food. This is easily prevented by always washing your hands after using the toilet and before preparing food items. Food to hands to food: Germs are transmitted from raw foods, such as chicken, to hands while preparing a meal. The germs on the hands are then transferred to other uncooked foods, such as salad. Cooking the raw food kills the initial germs, but the salad remains contaminated. Infected child to hands to other children: Germs are passed from a child with diarrhea to the hands of the parent during diaper changing. If the parent doesn’t immediately wash his or her hands, the germs that cause diarrhea are then passed to others. Animals to people: Wash your hands after petting animals or touching any surfaces they come into contact with.
There’s just something nice about a shiny stainless-steel sink, and thankfully, it’s really easy to make it clean and shiny. No special cleaners needed. No chemicals. No weird combinations of various cleaning supplies. Just one thing: baking soda
Remove stuck on food and grease and then sprinkle a light amount of baking soda all over your sink, paying special attention to the corners and drain.
Get out an old toothbrush (a sponge would work too, but I find that a soft toothbrush works best in the corners and drain, so I just use it for the whole sink), run it under water (in your sink with baking soda) for a few seconds and start scrubbing (lightly!) in circles.
Start with the sides of your sink, moving down, and finishing with the drain. Scrub the drain well, since that’s where most of your stains will likely be. If you need more water, run a bit in the sink and then shut it off. Don’t leave the water running, or all your baking soda will disappear.
Finish off your cleaning by rubbing a mixture of baking soda and water on the top of your sink, and on the faucet (use a rag or sponge for this). Wipe clean with a damp rag. Rinse out your sink so there is no baking soda residue. If you still see stains, add some more baking soda and scrub again.
That’s it! A clean, shiny stainless-steel sink in only 15-20 minutes, using only 1 very inexpensive product.
