Why reach for expensive cleaners when the best solutions are right in your pantry? Household staples like lemons, dish soap, baking soda, and vinegar pack a powerful punch — they’re inexpensive, efficient, and get the job done without any fuss. 

Not only will you save time and money, but you’ll also avoid unwanted chemicals found in certain store-bought products. Plus, these everyday essentials are safe, gentle on surfaces, and perfect for tackling dirt and grime. 

Shower Cleaning Hacks That Really Work

Let’s tackle one of the trickiest spots in your bathroom: the shower. From stubborn soap scum to hard water stains and foggy mirrors, the irony is not lost on us that showers can actually be pretty tough to keep clean. But with these clever hacks, you’ll transform your shower into a gleaming, spotless space — and be able to keep it that way. 

Shaving Cream for a Crystal-Clear Reflection

Forget pricey glass cleaners — shaving cream is your go-to for spotless mirrors. This clever hack leaves your mirror streak-free and prevents it from fogging up after steamy showers, so you can see yourself smiling at how crystal-clear your reflection looks. Here’s how to do it:

1. Apply a small dab of shaving cream to the mirror.
2. Spread it evenly using a soft cloth or sponge.
3. Let it sit for a few minutes, then wipe it away with a dry towel.

The result? A flawless reflection with zero streaks and no fog. It’s a quick, affordable fix that will let you focus on yourself a bit more. Literally. 

Lemon for Hard Water and Soap Scum

If you’re tired of battling hard water stains or soap scum, lemons will add a bit of zest to your cleaning routine. The natural acidity in lemon juice breaks down tough buildup on your shower fixtures, giving a whole new twist to the saying, ‘When life gives you lemons.’ Here’s how to use it:

1. Cut a lemon in half and rub it directly onto any unwanted markings.
2. Let the juice sit for a few minutes to dissolve the buildup.
3. Rinse with warm water and wipe dry.

This refreshes your bathroom with a citrusy scent and gives your shower fixtures a gleaming, streak-free finish.

Dish Soap for a Squeaky-Clean Bathtub

Dish soap is more than just for dishes. Its grease-fighting properties make it perfect for cutting through soap scum and grime in your bathtub, sink, and toilet. Here’s how to use it:

1. Apply dish soap directly to the surface of your tub.
2. Scrub with a sponge or cloth, focusing on areas with soap scum.
3. Rinse thoroughly for a fresh, clean tub.

Adding this simple bathtub and toilet bowl cleaning hack to your routine will save you from using harsh cleaners, while still leaving your bathtub grime-free and glossy. Like you needed another excuse for a good leisurely bath.

Grout is the glue that holds a room together—literally. However, it’s a double-edged sword in that it’s not always the easiest to clean… until now. Here’s an easy recipe for cleaning grout using the two common kitchen essentials baking soda and vinegar:

1. Directly spray vinegar onto the grout lines and let it soak in.
2. Sprinkle baking soda over the top and watch as it fizzes and loosens the grime.
