Keep Your Shower Head Clean with a Plastic Bag and Vinegar ●Start by pouring white vinegar into a plastic bag, just enough to submerge the shower head when you place it inside. ●Carefully place the plastic bag filled with vinegar over the shower head, ensuring that the nozzles are in the vinegar. ●Further, use a rubber band or twist tie to secure the plastic bag in place. Make sure it's fastened tightly to prevent any leaks. ●Allow the shower head to soak in the vinegar for several hours or overnight. This will help dissolve mineral deposits and grime that may be clogging the nozzles.
●After soaking, remove the plastic bag and rinse the shower head thoroughly with water to wash away any remaining vinegar. ●If there are still deposits in the nozzles, use a scrubbing brush or an old toothbrush to gently scrub them away.

About a 1:1 ratio of water to the soap-vinegar solution should work well. ●Before you step into the shower, give the walls and tiles a quick scrub with your soapy wand. This helps prevent the buildup of soap scum and grime on a daily basis. ●Also, rinse the surfaces with water after scrubbing to remove the cleaning solution. ●Do this quick cleaning routine regularly, and you'll find it easier to keep your shower looking fresh and clean every day.

It's a convenient spot where you can easily access water. ●Spray the inside and outside of the trash can with white vinegar or your chosen cleaning product. Make sure to cover all the dirty or smelly areas. ●Let it sit for a while, allowing the cleaning solution to break down any grime or odors. ●After letting it sit, use the showerhead to rinse the trash can thoroughly. The high- pressure water from the showerhead will help remove the cleaning solution and any remaining residue. ●Once you've rinsed it out completely, let the trash can air dry. Clean and Wax Your AC Vents for Lasting Dust Protection ●Remove the vent covers. Most AC vent covers can be easily popped out, so gently do so to access them.
●Now, soak the vent covers in a basin of soapy water and use a sponge or cloth to clean off the accumulated dust and grime. Scrub them thoroughly until they're clean. ●Rinse the vent covers with clean water and allow them to air dry completely. ●Once the covers are dry, apply a thin coat of automotive wax to them. Be sure to use a wax that doesn't contain silicone, as silicone can create a filmy residue. ●Allow the wax to dry on the vent covers for a few minutes, and then use a soft cloth to buff the covers until they shine. ●Reattach the vent covers, and you're done. The wax will help repel dust, keeping your AC vents cleaner for a longer time. This is how you become your own maintenance and deep cleaning services provider.
