1: To Remove Sticker Residue, Use Mayonnaise

Few things are as irritating as attempting to remove a sticker from a glass bottle. In the spirit of upcycling, you can waste valuable time peeling off the persistent white residue millimeter by millimeter. But that’s all changed now, because of a basic condiment that you probably already own!

Because mayonnaise is an oily substance, it seems sense to use it to remove sticker residue. Unbelievably, mayonnaise is your best friend when it comes to getting rid of bothersome stickers. Just apply the condiment to the sticky area and let it sit for about fifteen minutes. After using a dry cloth to wipe it off, it ought to be completely clean! For more obstinate stickers, try doing this again.

2: Fill Your Coffee Grinder with Rice

Coffee grinders are complex devices with plenty of gaps that eventually accumulate coffee residue. This can become rancid and needs to be cleaned on a regular basis, but cleaning this device correctly can be quite difficult! A paintbrush or toothbrush and some rice are all you need to pull it off.

Once the rice is dry and uncooked (about ¼ cup), add it to the grinder and cover the blades completely. Rice should be ground into a fine powder. If you detect a slight change in color, don’t worry. After discarding the rice powder, use the brush to remove it. Your rice will have absorbed all of the coffee residue, and your grinder will look clean and sparkling!

3: Clean the Glass in Your Shower with Shaving Cream

The last thing you’re probably thinking of doing to fix a streaky piece of glass is likely to be spritzing it with shaving cream. But that might be exactly what the glass needs to regain its luster.

Shaving cream should be applied to the water stains, and the mixture should be left for fifteen minutes. Use a fresh cloth or paper towel to clean it when the allotted time has elapsed. The outcome will be an exceptionally clean shower glass devoid of water stains. Consider using this last-minute trick if you’re running low on Windex and have company coming over.

4: Place Lemons in the Trash Can

The house’s garbage disposals aren’t the cleanest places. As every cleanliness lover (a term that sounds nicer than “clean freak”) knows, bacteria breeds stink, and these disposals have the potential to amass bacteria.

When garbage disposals smell bad, the entire kitchen and, if you’re lucky, other rooms in your house will smell it. Cut up lemons and throw them down the garbage disposal to avoid this. Lemon juice has long been used as a surface sanitizer; in addition to being cleaner, the garbage disposal will smell better after using lemon juice. It’s a cheap trick.

5: Use Potatoes to Clean Your Cheese Grater

The easiest method to obtain all the cheesy goodness you want in your favorite recipe is to shred cheese with a cheese grater. But there’s no doubting that cleaning cheese graters can feel like an endless labor of love. They’re almost impossible to clean.

Store the dish soap and steel wool; there’s a better way. You may use a potato to clean your grater. After shredding the cheese, shred the uncooked potato. You may use the shredded potato for a variety of dishes after using it to remove the gooey cheese from the grater’s holes.
