5 Random Cleaning and Organizing Tips

Rinse Your Plate

Cleaning plates is a tough thing if it's kept for some time uncleaned. Rinse your plate after dinner and have all family members do the same and it makes washing plates so easy. It is a small and simple habit but makes a lot of trouble easier.


Cleaning the Microwave

Cleaning a microwave is easy. Fill up a cup of water and put it in there on high for a few minutes. The steam from the cup will loosen any stuck-on food, and then you can just wipe it away. It’s that simple.

Change a Dirty Job into a Clean One

Make trash collection less of a chore. Instead of making one trip to empty all the trash cans that have trash bags, and then making another trip to replace those bags with fresh ones, you can handle both tasks in one trip. Store a few new trash bags at the bottom of each can you use. When you remove a filled trash bag, you can replace it immediately with a bag from your stash of new ones.


Folded Sheets

Place fitted and flat sheet and extra pillow cases inside matching pillow case set and store on closet shelves. 
 

Organize Cards

Store card games inside dollar store soapboxes.
Use dollar store soap boxes to organize card games...genius!

LOVE the pillow case idea. Seriously, that just made my day. My sheets are a little less then organized and i could never think of a way to make it any better.

I love the pillow case idea too! This will be on my to-do list when I get home from the hospital.
