From life advice to funny content, Reddit has much to offer to the modern adult. We particularly enjoy the CleaningTips subreddit, packed with everything from mopping hacks to product recommendations. After scouring the most popular and helpful posts in the subreddit, here are 10 unique cleaning hacks that may just change your life.
1. POLISH COPPER WITH VINEGAR AND WATER
If you have copper wares sitting around the house collecting dust, it’s about time to give them a good polish! Particularly older copper items can end up getting quite dirty over time, losing their impressive shine. Boil four cups of water, add in one and a half cups of vinegar and mix in a heaped tablespoon of salt, then let your copper sit in the solution for about 30 seconds. You can then use a soft brush to go over delicate details and remove more of the grime. Finally, dry off the copper and coat it in some baby oil—according to the original poster, this whole process made her copper tray look as good as new.
2. DOUBLE MOP YOUR FLOORS
One of the most popular posts in this subreddit is all about double mopping your floors. While mopping the traditional way can leave streaks, double mopping makes for squeaky clean floors with no marks according to this Redditor. Wondering what double mopping means? Get hold of two buckets instead of just one and separate your cleaning solution from your dirty water. Instead of dirtying your cleaning solution every time you rinse out the mop, you get to use super clean water on your floors every time, avoiding unsightly streaks.
