Shaving foam hacks

 I love a good simple cleaning hack! I never forget the day I discovered that white shaving foam is an amazing cleaner!

I dropped a new mascara on new carpet and quickly just dashed to the bathroom and grabbed the nearest soap like product and wow the results where amazing!

Sometimes, a household item can be surprisingly useful for things other than what it’s meant for, which means you don’t always need to spend a fortune on cleaning products. The humble can of white shaving is a fantastic cleaner and is so cheap if you stick to buying supermarket own branded logo.

So not only can you shave your legs or your face but clean your house too.

Make sure you keep a can in your cleaning caddy!

White tile grout

Typical grout needs to be cleaned every four to six months due to the built up dirt and bacteria that sits in grout lines and can potentially make the rest of the floor look dirty. Squirt the foam into the grout lines and then either using a recycled tooth brush or small grout cleaning brush and scrub in. Leave a few minutes and then wipe clean with a microfibre cloth.

It really is as simple as that and the good thing about using shaving foam is that it is perfectly safe for children and pets.

Stop your bathroom mirror from fogging up

Cover your mirror with white shaving cream, leave it for 30 seconds and simply wipe with a microfibre cloth or good quality kitchen roll and this will completely stop your mirror from fogging up, the bonus is it will also help prevent streaks.

Remove stains or your carpet/upholstery

Spray a bit of shaving cream on carpet or upholstery stains, scrub in using a soft bristle brush, allow them to dry and then blot clean using a white cloth. You can use it on upholstery in the car, too plus to tackle any mattress stains.

Polish up stainless steel

You can keep stainless steel looking polished by putting shaving cream on a clean cloth and wiping clean. You can do the same with all of your chrome fixtures in the kitchen bathroom, or laundry areas. Shaving cream great at removing hard water stains and leave such an amazing shine.  

Clean up the toilet base

Urine can end up on the sides of the toilet or the floor and after time the smell can become rather unpleasant, shaving foam is a quick and easy way to fix this! Simply cover the area around the toilet and on the sides of the toilet, really where there may be urine build up. Let the shaving cream sit for about 20 minutes and then wipe with a hot wet cloth or a mop with hot water. You will notice the urine smell has disappeared. You can do this every month or so, or just when the toilet area starts to smell. 

Make Jewellery Sparkle

Shaving cream is effective but gentle and perfect for cleaning jewellery. Pump a dollop of cream in your hand and rub your jewellery around.

Remove Oil Stains From Suede

To treat unsightly oil stains on suede furniture, coats or handbags, apply a small amount of shaving cream, rub it in, and then wipe it clean. You may need to fluff up the nap after the suede dries.

Good Morning 💗I have been on a decluttering mission over the past few days and I have been ruthless. Wardrobes have been jam packed full of clothes we no longer wear, endless amounts of make up and hair accessories.Decluttering is such a well needed process a few times a year. (Once a season for me) It will improve your headspace, make you feel much more positive and give your home more space and order. Be tough STOP the excuses and STOP holding onto something because you might wear or use it again.START by getting everything out of cupboards, wardrobes and bedside cabinets If you are short on time, just do one space whenever you have a spare 15 minutes.✅Get rid of clothes that don’t fit ✅Get rid of Stained/ damaged items ✅Reassess on trend purchases✅FILL A BAG, donate, sell or recycleMake time and go for it 😀#declutter #organise #wardrobeessentials #keypieces #letgo #brutal #recycle #donate #confidence #style #teenagelife #mumslife #queenofclean #fillabag #restore #order #motivation #mentalhealth #cleanhouse #happyhouse #autumnclean #autumncleaning ...
