Cleaning can be a time-consuming and unpleasant chore that takes time and effort. However, you can save a lot of money on a variety of disinfectants by using a single, readily available ingredient.

Vinegar is less aggressive than chemicals, but it will clean black mold from bathroom sealant or other areas just as well. If you are not too attracted to the pungent vinegar smell, this life hack will be a real lifesaver. Experts have told us how to speed up cleaning and make your home smell nice.

Cleaning accessible surfaces such as faucets, floors, or kitchen cabinets is quite easy, but the situation becomes more complicated when it comes to removing dirt and dust in high places, such as the ceiling.

An incredibly simple way to clean your home from dust or fungal spores is gaining popularity online. Pour a little vinegar into a glass bowl and add a few drops of your favorite essential oil for a better aroma.

The unusual part of this method is the use of unconventional tools. You need to take a small paint roller, which is usually used to fill in the corners and edges of walls, and dip it in the liquid. Now you can reach many hidden places that are difficult to clean. The tool makes cleaning easier and is extremely flexible because it can reach the space between walls and ceilings.

Dust and dirt in such places can be easily removed with a vinegar solution, while aromatic oils neutralize the pungent acidic odor.

When choosing essential oils, pay attention not only to your personal preferences but also to their effectiveness. Tea tree oil is an effective and non-toxic way to get rid of mold. Mix 2 cups of warm water and 2 tablespoons of oil in a spray bottle and spray the moldy areas. There is no need to rinse off the product - just wait 15-30 minutes for the active ingredients to work and wipe the surface with a damp sponge.
