A one-hour cleanse is possible particularly in the kitchen.

That's right, even though kitchens are one of the most dreaded places to clean, you really can whip them into shape in just 60 minutes. All it takes is a clear plan and the understanding that while this isn't going to be an extensive, deep cleaning, it will completely reset your space.

Just like the one-hour closet cleanse, the best way to approach a kitchen cleanse is by designating a set amount of time for each step of your cleaning and organizing process. And while you can certainly choose to change up the order in which you tackle each step, we're partial to the following setup.

Minutes 1-15
One of the biggest sources of kitchen clutter is expired foods and condiments that take up unnecessary space in the fridge, in cabinets or on your countertops. Similarly, holding onto almost empty boxes or jars is a huge waste of space. So, this is the perfect opportunity to purge!

Now, I'm not in any way suggesting you toss perfectly good food that you know you'll use. Instead, you should spend these 15 minutes throwing out only expired foods or packages that are so close to empty you know you will never actually use them again. And if you find non-perishables getting close to their expiration date that you don't like or won't use, set them aside to donate.

Minutes 15-30
Now that you've got your food clutter all situated, it's time to move on to your dishes. And if you're anything like me, this is one area of your kitchen you tend to ignore while organizing. Most dishes already have their own designated spot, so it just becomes second nature to put them right back after they've been used or cleaned. But now's the perfect time to go through everything and tidy up your cupboards and get rid of those cracked or broken pieces.

Start with your glasses and mugs and recycle any that are cracked or damaged. If you come across pieces you don't use any more, but that is still in good shape, set them aside to donate. Then move on to your plates, bowls and utensils, and follow the same steps. If you have serve ware, go through those pieces as well. When you're all finished, you should be left with just the essentials, organized to your liking.

Minutes 30-45
Now it's time to move onto your utility items, think pots and pans, slow cookers, blenders, coffee makers, even all those cooking gadgets you impulsively bought on Black Friday. First things first, if you've never used an item and you've owned it for six months (or a year if it's something you only use seasonally) donate it. Now. That cake ball machine will continue to gather dust and take up precious space unless you take action.

Once you're left with the items you actually use, go through and purge the ones that are no longer in good shape, or that you've been meaning to replace. Holding onto your old non-stick pan that's completely lost its coating is doing you no good. Say goodbye to those pieces now and you'll feel so much better! After you're done, return everything to its proper place and marvel at all your extra storage space.

Minutes 45-60
Whew, you've made it to the final 15 minutes, and you'll be done with this cleanse in no time! For this last step, all you need to do is give all of your surfaces a quick rubdown — this is not a deep clean, just a little refresh to make everything sparkle (and smell like cleaning supplies, natch).

Finish up by sweeping the floor before treating yourself to a relaxing Netflix binge or homemade cocktail.

10 suggestions on where to begin clearing clutter!.

If you’ve got a large uncluttering effort ahead of you, one of your questions may be “Where do I start?” There’s no one right answer, but the following are some ideas for where to begin your project.

Start where you’ll save money. Are you renting a storage unit (or more than one)? Each unit you can let go of will save you money, and give you that immediate satisfaction of a completed project. You’ll also get a saving if you can move from a larger unit to a smaller one.

Start with the attic, basement, or garage. Sometimes when you’re uncluttering a space like a bedroom or a kitchen, you’ll find things that don’t really need to be close at hand, and which could be stored without concern in one of these less accessible spots. But if the attic, basement and garage are already filled, there’s no room to store anything else in these spaces.

Start with the place that bothers you the most. Is there a cluttered place you see every day, and every day it drives you crazy? You may want to start there. You’ll gain momentum for other projects without this big frustration looming over you.

Start with the quick wins. Do you have things you can unclutter relatively easily, such as old baby clothes when your last child has outgrown them? You might want to start there and see immediate progress, before tackling areas that will be harder for you.

Start with your own stuff. If you’re living with other family members or roommates who are sceptical about uncluttering, you may want to start with the things that are purely your own. Lead by example.

Start with areas that benefit the whole family. If you’re living with family members who are more uncluttered than you are, you may want to work on common areas to acknowledge your interest in creating a better space for all of you.

Start where the weather makes it easy. If you have a nice sunny day that’s not too warm, it may be a good time to work in the garage. If you’re in the middle of a heat wave, you’ll want to work in a room where you can stay reasonably cool.

For papers, start with the current stuff. The current piles of paper are likely to be more important than the old ones; they are where you’ll find the bills you need to pay, notices about events you want to attend, etc.

For papers, start with the old filing cabinets. But maybe your current papers aren’t a burning issue, in which case you may want to clear out the old filing cabinets first, to provide room for new papers to be filed. This is similar to the idea of starting with the garage, attic, or basement.
And even though unsorted paper clutter is inherently slow to go through, sorted papers can sometimes provide a quick win. I’ve tossed bunches of file folders full of reference material when I realized the information was outdated, and I could find everything I needed online. Or you may find filing cabinets full of things like old utility bills, which, upon reflection, you find you have no reason to keep.

Start anywhere. Sometimes it doesn’t really matter where you start — simply that you do. Pick an area at random, on impulse. Or write down each cluttered area on a slip of paper, place the papers in a hat, and pull one out.

10 Spots You’re Not Cleaning Well Enough in the Bathroom as stated by HGTV Magazine

A good bathroom cleaning routine should be more than a hard-surface wipe-down. Make your space a sanctuary of cleanliness by adopting a more rigorous process for disinfecting and cleaning. A little extra work now saves a lot of time and money in the long run.

The Showerhead
Mineral deposits in water can affect the showerhead and even shorten its life. Keep the jets in the nozzle clear and clean by misting the showerhead every week with a mixture of 50 percent white vinegar and 50 percent water. Allow it to sit and drip for a few minutes and then wipe it clean with a dry cloth.

The Base of the Toilet
During the next toilet scrub-down, consider which areas you focus on most. The bowl, seat, lid, and top of the tank are the highly visible spots, but the underside of the bowl and the plumbing piping behind the toilet gets dusty and affected by germs too. To sanitize hard-to-reach places behind the toilet, try using a steam wand to disinfect and then wipe down using a dry cloth.

Light Bulbs and Light Fixtures
It’s easy to forget to dust your bathroom light fixtures, but so easy to do with the help of a microfiber cloth. With the light turned off (and the lightbulb cooled) use the cloth to clean the inside and outside of the fixture, as well as the surface of the bulb. If the lightbulbs you use are a focal point (such as clear glass globes) remove the bulb from the fixture, clean the surface with glass cleaner, and allow it to dry completely before putting it back into the fixture.

Sink, Bathtub and Shower Drains
Sink, shower, and bathtub drain probably do get a good surface scrubbing when you’re doing your weekly wipe-down. But to prevent additional grime and hair build up, make it a habit to remove the drain or drain cover, rinse it clean and use a soft bristled brush to clean inside of the drain as well. With regular maintenance, you can avoid tougher chores, like having to snake a clogged drain.

Air Vents, Fans, and Returns
Dusting and disinfecting the products in your bathroom that keep the air clean and circulating are essential to cleanliness. To clean an exhaust fan, you can always dust the surface but it’s usually more effective to remove the cover and do a deep clean with a hand-held vacuum. Can’t remove the cover? Spray a dusting wand with 50 percent white vinegar and 50 percent water, and a few drops of tea tree oil to naturally disinfect and freshen the air.

Up Inside the Faucet
Mineral deposits such as lime will build up inside your faucet spout, especially if you have hard water. Depending on the faucet you have, these deposits can clog the aerator and affect water pressure. Disassemble the sink's nozzle and easily clean the aerator and other components using ordinary white vinegar. You can also take a small stiff-bristled bottle brush dipped in vinegar to keep the inside of the faucet clean and debris-free.

Curtains and Window Screens
You’re likely to crack the window in the bathroom any time of the year for — ahem — reasons. Remember to clean your bathroom window screen as often as you would clean other screens in your home to reduce any dust and dirt that may gather or blow in through the open window

Drawers
The drawers in the bathroom vanity are a perpetual magnet for hair that fell off the hairbrush, spilled makeup, powders, and product samples. Every month do a drawer deep clean. Empty it out, wipe it down with a damp cloth and then reorganize the contents. To make this chore even easier, line the drawer with a piece of colorful make-you-smile cloth that can be removed and laundered.

Exposed Plumbing
Pipes that are visible beneath a countertop or vanity need to be maintained from time to time. Spray and wipe the pipes down periodically with a diluted white vinegar as part of your cleaning routine. Buff with a metal polish as well, so they always look shiny and new

Here Are 15 Things You Didn’t Know Aluminum Foil Could Do:

1) Get Rid Of Grease
If you pour grease down the drain, it will clog. But you also don’t want to pour hot grease right into the garbage pail. Line a bowl with tin foil and pour your grease in. Once it is cooled you can lift out the foil and toss it.
2) Sharpen Scissors
Fold a piece of aluminium foil several times. Then cut the foil a few times with your scissors. This will sharpen them up.
3) Protect Door K***s
Painting a door? Cover the k**b with aluminium foil. This will prevent it from getting covered in paint.
4) Makeshift Funnel
Aluminium foil works well for making a makeshift funnel. Just fold it into a funnel shape. You can use it to transfer liquids.
5) Cover The Paint Tray
Cover your paint tray with aluminium foil before you start painting. When you’re done you can just peel off the foil and toss it out. You won’t have to worry about getting dried paint in your fresh paint.
6) Foil Decoupage
Refurbish your furniture with aluminium foil. Decoupaging your furniture with tin foil will give it a whole new look. You can actually use tin foil for lots of crafty purposes which you can find
7) Mess-Free Oven
Stop cleaning your oven. Instead, lay a piece of aluminium foil down on the bottom of the oven to catch any drips and messes. Just toss out when it gets dirty. You can do the same thing with your toaster oven.
8) Remove Tarnish From Silver
Line your sink with tin foil. Fill it with hot water, salt, baking soda, and vinegar. Place your silver in and shine your piece up.
9) Clean Your Grill
Aluminium foil can help your grill look like new. Cover your grill, close the lid and heat up the grill for 15 to 20 minutes. Turn the grill off, bunch up the foil and use it to scrub down the grill racks.
10) Make Your Bananas Last
Want to make your bananas last? Cover the ends with some aluminium foil. This will prevent your bananas from ripening too soon.
11) DIY Dryer Sheets
Out of dryer sheets? Ball up a piece of aluminium foil and toss it into your dryer. This will prevent static electricity and make your clothes all fluffy.
12) Make Celery Last
No one likes brown celery. Keep it wrapped in aluminium foil to prevent this. It will stay fresh for up to 4 weeks.
13) Bird Deterrent
Tired of the birds eating all your fruit. Cut some aluminium foil into strips and hang it from your fruit trees. This will scare the birds off.
14) Perfect Pie Crust
The finishing touch on your award-winning pie is aluminium foil. Cover the edges of your homemade pie when you put it in the over. It will prevent the pie edges from burning.
15) Soften Brown Sugar
Has your brown sugar gotten too hard? Wrap a chunk in aluminium foil and place it in the oven. Bake at 300°F (150° C) for five minutes to soften it up.

When to take down the Christmas Tree? The answer will surprise you.

As the holiday season winds down, Christmas clean-up inevitably begins. While the thought of vacuuming a gazillion cookie crumbs and tackling all those dirty dishes can be daunting, figuring out when to take down the Christmas tree might just be the toughest task of them all.

If you find yourself stumped over this very question year after year, consider letting tradition be your guide. Dating back to the 4th century, many Christians have marked the end of the Christmas season on the Twelfth Night (or 12 nights after Christmas) - an evening is also known as the Eve of the Epiphany.

The Epiphany marks the Three Kings (or Wise Men) visiting baby Jesus and is either celebrated on January 5 or January 6 (depending on whether you count Day One as Christmas or not). Although Christian groups reportedly disagree over which date is the correct one, tradition dictates that the Twelfth Night is the best time to take down your festive decorations - including your tree. It's believed that waiting too long after the Twelfth Night will bring bad luck.

Of course, all of this to say that you should really take it down when it's the most convenient time for you and your family. Whether that's the day after Christmas, New Year's Eve, or whenever you can get to it, there's really no "correct" answer. After all, you worked awfully hard hanging up all that tinsel: You should feel free to enjoy it for as long as you want.

Here are a few hacks for cleaning.

Discover the best and easiest way to rid sheet pans of baked-on gunk. Follow these steps to make them look brand-new.
When it comes to baking, sheet pans are often an essential part of the process. Whether you’re whipping up a sheet pan supper for the family or carefully crafting a cranberry-apple slab pie, a chef’s cookie pan or sheet is likely to see plenty of wear and tear. Before you throw away a favorite pan because of baked-on cooking grime, try this easy way to clean baking sheets, rimmed or unrimmed. (Ever wonder which pan is best for the job? We’ve got you covered.)

Plenty of cookie-sheet cleaning methods are out there, but one, in particular, makes cleaning a breeze, using products likely already hiding in your kitchen.

How to Clean a Baking Sheet
You’ll need:
Hydrogen peroxide
Baking soda
A rag or coarse sponge
Step 1: Add baking soda, then hydrogen peroxide.
Sprinkle some baking soda on the baking pan or sheet. Then follow that up with hydrogen peroxide (see more this wonder cleaner can do!), followed by another sprinkling of baking soda to top it off. The cleaner needs time to work, so we suggest letting it sit for at least two hours. Because the chemicals could be too harsh for some pans’ material or coating, do a test run before cleaning the entire cookie sheet, especially if it is made of a specialized material or has a coating of any kind.

This is just one of the clever ways to clean with baking soda.

Step 2: Wipe them away.
Use a rag or sponge to wipe away the homemade cleaner. No hard scrubbing is usually required, but if stains remain, you could do a second application, use a non-scratch scrubber—or both. All you need is a little patience!

(Psst: How dirty is that sponge you used? Here’s how to clean it right.)

Step 3: Keep it clean.
Now that your baking sheet and pans are back to looking brand-new, you’ll want to keep them that way. Do as our Test Kitchen does and place a sheet of parchment paper or aluminium foil on the pan before you add any food. That’s it! The baking sheets will stay gunk free.

Here are a few hacks for cleaning.

Set a cleaning timer. 10 minutes in each room. No more, no less. Do not leave or stray. It's amazing what you can accomplish when focused and racing the clock!

After you scrub down the shower walls, polish them with lemon oil. It shines them up and repels water & soap scum to make future cleaning much easier & less frequent.

Nail polish remover will take permanent marker off of plastic and a whiteboard marker will take it off of whiteboards.

Keep a squeegee in the shower to quickly and easily clean shower doors.

Use the dishwasher for more than dishes. When it isn't quite full, fill it the rest of the way with things like stove burners, vases, candlesticks and even children's plastic toys contained in a mesh bag.

More to come!

WOW look what you can do with WD 40!!
If you have ever had to deal with a squeaky set of door hinges, then chances are you’ve used WD-40 before. However, if that’s all you are using this amazing stuff for, then you are seriously missing out!

While most people tend to think of WD-40 as an industrial product best used by handymen and machinists, the truth is that’s only part of how it can be used. WD-40 actually has dozens of other uses that are sure to surprise you. If you have a can lying around the house, here are 20 amazing hacks to get you started. Once you find out how much it can do, you’ll never go without it again!

1. Polishing silver: If you have a collection of silver that always seems to be tarnishing over time, WD-40 can definitely help you out with that. Spray down your silver and wipe it clean. It’s just that easy to keep it looking sparkly and new!
2. Cleaning shoes: When it comes to sneakers, WD-40 is a person’s absolute best friend. In the winter, you can remove stubborn rock salt spots that build up by spraying them and wiping them down. If you want to make your whole shoe waterproof, spray the entire surface with the stuff.
3. Protecting bird feeders: While having a bird feeder in your yard is a great way to keep beautiful birds in plain view, squirrels are notorious for stealing seeds from them. To keep these critters away, spray down the center pole with WD-40 and the squirrels will slide right off.
4. Cleaning toilets: Depending on the type of water in your house, cleaning your toilet can feel like a pointless task. If you use WD-40 the same way you would use your regular toilet bowl cleaner, you’ll notice that it gets clean quickly and stays clean longer.
5. Unsticking gum: When gum doesn’t make it to the actual trash can, it can get stuck on shoes, or worse, your pants. If you need to banish hard, chewed-up gum that you accidentally sat in, then go ahead and spray it down with WD-40. That will help it come right off!
6. Removing crayon marks: Do you have kids who love to take their crayons and scribble on walls and furniture? Don’t break your back trying to remove the marks! Instead, lightly spray them with WD-40 and they should rub right off.
7. Defrosting ice: Whether you live in a cold climate year-round or you’re gearing up for the winter season, spray your windows down with WD-40 and then wipe the excess away. Believe it or not, this will keep the ice from sticking to your windows and save you time getting out of the driveway in the morning.
8. Removing water stains: It’s so frustrating that the same shower you step into to get clean tends to collect a crazy amount of water stains. If you want to get rid of them fast, follow up your usual cleaning routine with a spritz of WD-40 and watch the water stains disappear.

9. Polishing scissors: If you use scissors in the kitchen or crafting regularly, then you know just how sticky they can get over time. If you want to keep that stickiness at bay, polish them regularly with a healthy dose of WD-40 and they’ll be just perfect.
10. Removing stickers and price tags: If you have ever tried to peel off a sticker on a window or a bumper sticker on your car, you know what a hassle it can be. Using WD-40 makes it a breeze. Just coat the sticker and gently peel it away!

11. Unsticking zippers: Is there anything more frustrating than having a zipper on your backpack or your favorite coat get totally and absolutely stuck in place? Here’s the good news: if you spray WD-40 on the zippers and gently work them back and forth, they’ll slide right back into place!
12. Removing tea and coffee stains: If you or a house guest have ever spilled a little coffee or tea on a table in your home, you know how hard it can be to ever get it out again. Thankfully, combining your regular cleaning routine with a sq**rt of WD-40 will banish it in no time.
13. Banishing tar stains: If your car gets covered in tar, then it’s definitely time to break out the WD-40. Just spray down the surfaces and even the most stubborn patches should melt away like hot butter! How great is that?
14. Taking off rings: If you wear a ring regularly then you probably know what it’s like when it gets stuck on your finger. It happens to everyone at some time or another. Don’t panic! The easiest way to remove it is to cover your finger with WD-40 and then slide it off. It works like magic!
15. Remove lipstick: Lipstick is always a fun way to make your look for the day pop. Unfortunately, it’s less fun when it transfers onto other items of clothing and settles in to stain. Luckily for you, WD-40 as a pre-wash stain treatment will help remove that lipstick in no time flat.
16. Helps Open Rusty Locks: If you’ve got a rusty key or a keyhole that won’t cooperate, apply some WD-40 and you should be able to gain easy entry.
17. Extends the Life of Shower Heads: This is another little-known household use for WD-40. Shower heads have a tendency to break down over time, but applying WD-40 can extend their lifespan by years.
18. Removes Mildew From Refrigerator Gasket: We’ve all seen it before: Disgusting gunk builds up on your refrigerator gasket. Well, WD-40 will remove this. Simply apply, let it sit for a few minutes, wipe off, and you’re done.
19. Filters Dust When Sprayed on Air Conditioning Filter: Spray a light coating of WD-40 on your AC filter before installing, and your filter becomes exponentially more effective
20. Removing Leftover Tape: Whether it is an old sticker or leftover tape from winterizing your home, spraying a little WD-40 on the affected area will make removal easy to complete!

Five great kitchen hacks for you today that you may not have seen before—and all of which will make your life just a little bit easier.
1. Reuse your old Pringles cans.
These chips come in a uniquely long, tube-shaped container. Though it may be annoying when you’re eating the chips and there’s a little stack at the very bottom that you can’t quite reach, they’re actually perfect for storing some very common and very long kitchen objects: spaghetti noodles! If you’re anything like us, you open a package of spaghetti, try to wrap it up, carefully set it in the cupboard and then end up dumping it on the floor when you take it out again. Next time, just put the whole package in the tube and seal it up for easy access.
2. Add another hole to your liquid cartons.
Depending on what brand of milk or juice you buy, you may have cartons in the fridge that come in processed paper or cardboard containers (chicken and veggie stock containers are another examples of this). Although these cut down on our use of plastic, they also have little round caps and a really annoying tendency to spill everywhere when we pour them, particularly when they’re full. To fix this problem, use a knife to cut a tiny slit in the top of the container behind the cap. The extra airflow will stop the weird vacuum effect from happening and your pours will be much smoother. Put some tape off the hole before putting it back in the fridge!
3. Liven up your spice cabinet.
If you tend to hold on to old plastic containers and jars but don’t know what to do with them, there may actually be a way to reuse them. In particular, Tic-Tacs and Orbit Gum-style containers seem to make a lot of unnecessary waste while still being useful little holders in themselves. For fun, try transferring some of your more commonly used spices into these containers and keeping them on the counter—the openings allow for easy pouring and measuring!
4. Add more storage space to your fridge.
Anyone who has a big family knows how tricky it can be fitting all the groceries in the fridge. If we do manage to do so, we still end up not having enough room for our more elaborate recipes that require cooling time and many little pieces—things like cookies or ravioli, for example. In these cases, you can actually make your own mini-racks to save on room! Get a few cutting boards and fill each one with whatever you’re cooking. Open up one of the bigger pull-out drawers and put one of the boards down. After that, stack three or four shot glasses on the first layer and add another! You can do this about three times in most normal fridges.
5. Clean your wooden cutting boards the natural way.
Although wooden cutting boards are sturdier and more professional than their plastic counterparts, they can also be trickier to clean. A simple rinse never really does the trick and even using soap can still leave stains in the grain. Fortunately, there’s an easy solution. First, sprinkle your wet cutting board with a generous layer of heavy salt. After that, cut a lemon in half and use one of the halves to scrub the salt and lemon juice around the board. This method is sure to take out any stains or smells!
