What\u2019s the one item we all use daily that will clean even the most difficult to reach spots? Believe it or not, it\u2019s your toothbrush. Drains, tap fixtures, lampshades and cheese graters\u2026 the list is endless. But this handy inexpensive tool can make your home cleaning<\/a> process much simpler.<\/p>\n

\"Two<\/a><\/p>\n

To help you introduce it to your usual cleaning routine, here\u2019s how a toothbrush can clean your home room by room:<\/p>\n

Kitchen<\/b><\/h2>\n

Hob dials<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Using a sponge to clean the oil and food splattered on kitchen knobs is a slippery task. However using a toothbrush means you can reach all the tights spots, so you won\u2019t miss a speck of grease or dirt.<\/p>\n

Microwave vents<\/strong><\/h3>\n

To clean microwave vents, use a cloth sprayed with house cleaner and place it over a toothbrush. This way you can get into each individual vent opening, and you don’t risk getting any cleaning spray in the fan.<\/p>\n

You can also use a toothbrush on other kitchen equipment that’s difficult to clean, such as juicers, cheese graters, small jars and unusually shaped vases\/bottles.<\/p>\n

Bathroom<\/b><\/h2>\n

Taps<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Mould and mildew built up around the bases of taps can be removed in a matter of seconds by using a wet toothbrush sprayed with some cleaning product.<\/p>\n

Toilet seat hinges<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Another awkward spot that can gather plenty of dust, toilet seat hinges can be cleaned with much more ease by using a toothbrush.<\/p>\n

Grout<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Apply some\u00a0baking soda<\/a> paste to a toothbrush and scrub any mouldy areas with a toothbrush vigorously to loosen the mould. Wipe off the paste after with a wet cloth, or wash down using your shower head.<\/p>\n

Around the home<\/b><\/h2>\n

Lampshades\/ lights<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Sometimes dusting with a cloth isn’t enough to get your light or lampshade looking sparkling clean. Using a soft toothbrush can help to gently remove all the dirt. It’s particularly helpful for any pleated lampshades.<\/p>\n

Wall sockets and light switches<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Cleaning around light switches and sockets isn\u2019t always easy, but a toothbrush can help remove all the dirt by reaching any tiny areas.<\/p>\n
