If you have: Grimy kitchen walls\n<figure id='\"attachment_6213\"' aria-describedby='\"caption-attachment-6213\"' style='\"width:' class='\"wp-caption' aligncenter><img fetchpriority='\"high\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"wp-image-6213' size-large src="%5C%22http:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/06%5C/cleaning1-scaled-e1622581673783-966x1024.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"966\"' height='\"1024\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/writehorizon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/cleaning1-scaled-e1622581673783-966x1024.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'><figcaption id='\"caption-attachment-6213\"' class='\"wp-caption-text\"'>Photo: The Kitchn\n<p>The combination of cooking grease, steam, and regular old dust creates a sticky residue on your kitchen\u2019s surfaces. Clean up grease splatters from your walls, range hood, and cabinets by washing them with a sponge dipped in undiluted white vinegar. Use another sponge soaked in water to rinse, then wipe dry with paper towels.\n</p><p>Tip: Don\u2019t forget the top of your fridge, which can get greasy as well.\n</p><h4>2. If you have: A splatter-filled microwave\n</h4><p><img decoding='\"async\"' class='\"size-full' wp-image-6214 aligncenter src="%5C%22http:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/06%5C/cleaning2.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"735\"' height='\"478\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/writehorizon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/cleaning2.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n</p><p>If the interior of your microwave is a real mess, use the softening power of steam to your advantage. Mix 1\/2 cup white distilled vinegar and 1\/2 cup water in a glass bowl, then bring to a rolling boil inside the microwave.\n</p><p>Carefully remove the hot bowl and wipe the microwave clean of the now-loosened food using a paper towel.\n</p><h4>3. If you have: A gross kitchen garbage can\n</h4><p><img decoding='\"async\"' class='\"size-full' wp-image-6215 aligncenter src="%5C%22http:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/06%5C/cleaning3.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"736\"' height='\"488\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/writehorizon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/cleaning3.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n</p><p>An often-overlooked source of real filth is the kitchen garbage, as traces of food and liquid make their way out of the bin liner and onto the can itself, leaving a smelly mess. Scrub using dish detergent or multi-surface cleaning liquid and a nylon-bristle brush (your bathtub is an ideal place for this task). Rinse and dry thoroughly with paper towels.\n</p><h4>4. If you have: Crusty, burned-on oven spills\n</h4><p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"size-large' wp-image-6216 aligncenter src="%5C%22http:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/06%5C/cleaning4-1024x683.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"1024\"' height='\"683\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/writehorizon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/cleaning4-1024x683.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n</p><p>Don\u2019t leave that baked-on mess on the bottom of your oven; it can give off unpleasant odors and even create smoke. If you can\u2019t run a self-cleaning cycle, spritz with water from a spray bottle, then sprinkle on some baking soda and add a few drops of white vinegar.\n</p><p>Let the mixture bubble for a minute or so, then use a scrub sponge to sweep away the grime. Follow with a thorough wipe-down with a damp paper towel.\n</p><h4>5. If you have: Cloudy, unsightly shower soap scum\n</h4><p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"size-full' wp-image-6217 aligncenter src="%5C%22http:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/06%5C/cleaning5.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"650\"' height='\"450\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/writehorizon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/cleaning5.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n</p><p>A haze of soap residue and hard water spots accumulates quickly in showers and on shower doors. To remove, use a sponge or clean cloth to wipe room-temperature white vinegar onto your shower walls and door. The acid in the vinegar will help dissolve the residue. Wipe clean with a damp paper towel. To prevent buildup, use a squeegee on the surfaces after each shower.\n</p><p>Tip: Use a nylon brush to scrub out the shower door\u2019s tracks.\n</p><h4>6. If you have: A less-than-tidy toilet bowl\n</h4><p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"size-full' wp-image-6218 aligncenter src="%5C%22http:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/06%5C/cleaning6.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"1024\"' height='\"536\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/writehorizon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/cleaning6.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n</p><p>Time can be your ally when tackling a dirty toilet. To clean and deodorize the toilet bowl, pour one cup of white distilled vinegar or multi-surface cleaning liquid into the bowl and let sit for several hours or overnight, if possible. Then scrub well with a toilet brush and flush.\n</p><h4>7. If you have: Filthy windows\n</h4><p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"size-full' wp-image-6219 aligncenter src="%5C%22http:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/06%5C/cleaning7.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"982\"' height='\"653\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/writehorizon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/cleaning7.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n</p><p>Clean windows make everything seem brighter, but you don\u2019t need additional bottles of window cleaner for the job\u2014simply use a multi-surface spray cleaner or a water-vinegar solution, and wipe windows down using crumpled-up newspapers or paper towels. Tip: Wash windows on a cloudy day; the windows dry more slowly and will streak less.\n</p><h4>8. If you have: Pet hair everywhere\n</h4><p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"size-full' wp-image-6220 aligncenter src="%5C%22http:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/06%5C/cleaning8.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"550\"' height='\"390\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/writehorizon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/cleaning8.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n</p><p>Of course, you can use special lint rollers and dry sponges\u2014but if you\u2019re in a hurry, simply dampen the palm of your hand and wipe the pet hair off in a downward motion. Rubber gloves or latex gloves also work.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"</p><p>There are plenty of dirties, outrageous messes that somehow find their way into our homes.
