Keep your home looking its best with the help of these simple and easy home cleaning hacks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Top 5&nbsp;Cleaning Hacks for the Savvy Homeowner<\/h2>\n<p>1. Use lemons and Kosher salt to clean your cutting boards and stop leaving potentially harsh chemicals behind. Lay down a layer of Kosher salt, cut a lemon in half, and brush the lemon&nbsp;cut side down&nbsp;along the salt. After a few minutes of vigorous rubbing simply rinse the cutting board with water and leave to&nbsp;air dry.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>2. Old&nbsp;pillow cases are prefect for cleaning ceiling fan blades quickly.&nbsp;Simply hook an old pillow case over one&nbsp;blade at a time and carefully wipe&nbsp;backwards. As you pull it back towards you the fabric will wipe away any dust and safely store it inside the&nbsp;pocket.<\/p>\n<p>3. A squeegee works wonders to remove pet hair from carpets, unlike a regular vacuum. All you need to do is brush it along the carpet with a firm grip and watch the hair pile up neatly.<\/p>\n<p>4. Regular white chalk is great for eliminating grease stains on clothing, walls, and furniture. Cover the greasy area with a bit of chalk and let it&nbsp;sit for a few minutes before wiping it away with a damp cloth and you&#8217;ll be amazed at the results.<\/p>\n<p>5. Your average lint roller can do much more than freshen your clothes before you leave the house. Use them&nbsp;to quickly&nbsp;clean hair, dander, and other debris&nbsp;off lamp shades and other smaller items around the house.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure that your home and its content are protected with a Colorado homeowners&#8217; insurance policy.
