Don’t stress about scrubbing off that baked on tomato sauce. Really, there’s no elbow grease needed! Place a halved lemon in 1/2 cup of water (make sure you squeeze the lemon into the water!).

8. Clean Toys

Kids are messy, gunky, and full of germs, so it’s only natural that their toys would be the same way! Instead of disinfecting them one at a time, place them all in a mesh bag and wash them in your washing machine. It isn’t the most quiet cleaning tip, but it certainly gets the job done.

12. Clean Vacuum Filters

Instead of replacing your vacuum filter, a little wash could be just what it needs. Place your filter in the dishwasher and run it on a normal setting. Once it has been cleaned, it’s a good idea to run the dishwasher empty, just to make sure all that gunk is gone!

13. Clean Your Blender
