Doing errands is a must. We do housework on a regular basis to keep our place clean and tidy. The task is tedious if done properly. However, there are a few tricks you can use to make the process less tiring.

Here are the main five hints that every professional knows:

1. Shining windows with black tea

Black tea contains a chemical component that dissolves dirt, spots and stains. It is called tannic acid. Not only can you make your windows sparkle, you can even kill germs if you know how to prepare the mixture. Take three tea bags and pour them with 8 oz. of boiling water. Wait till the tea cools and then pour it into a spray container.

2. Freshening up a stinky kitchen

Odors in the kitchen are a common thing. We prepare various foods there and sometimes we can smell garlic, fish and other odors. Luckily, you can easily eliminate unwanted smells without wasting hours cleaning the floors and counters. Use some lemon or orange skin and rub them the surface for a few minutes. That’s a simple trick that can resolve the issue.
