16. Freshen Up Garbage Disposal with Citrus Peels
Garbage disposals can develop odors, but citrus peels can freshen them up. Drop a few citrus peels into the disposal and run it with cold water. The natural oils in the peels help deodorize and clean the disposal, leaving a fresh scent.
17. Clean Windows with Cornstarch Solution
For a streak-free window cleaning solution, mix two tablespoons of cornstarch with a quart of warm water and a quarter cup of vinegar. Apply with a cloth or sponge, then wipe dry with a clean cloth. Cornstarch helps cut through grime and leaves windows sparkling.
18. Remove Pet Hair with a Rubber Glove
Pet hair can be difficult to remove, but a damp rubber glove makes it easy. Simply put on the glove and run your hand over surfaces. The rubber creates static that attracts pet hair, making it easy to gather and dispose of.
