You can create a paste, which can be used to clean the tub. To create this paste, simply mix a teaspoonful of liquid soap, baking soda mixed with water and drops of antibacterial oils.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5581\" src=\"https:\/\/privateprop.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Silverware-Cleaning-hacks-Private-Property-Nigeria.jpg\" alt=\"Silverware - Cleaning hacks - Private Property Nigeria\" width=\"600\" height=\"645\" srcset=\"https:\/\/privateproperty.ng\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Silverware-Cleaning-hacks-Private-Property-Nigeria.jpg 600w, https:\/\/privateproperty.ng\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Silverware-Cleaning-hacks-Private-Property-Nigeria-279x300.jpg 279w, https:\/\/privateproperty.ng\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Silverware-Cleaning-hacks-Private-Property-Nigeria-391x420.jpg 391w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>3. Cleaning Your Silverware<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">No matter how tarnished your silverware might get, you can get it clean with baking soda. Are you wondering how this can be achieved? Simply get a litre of water, a tablespoon of baking soda, one piece of aluminium foil and leave to boil. When it reaches boiling point, drop the silverware in the water for 10 seconds or longer if the silverware is really tarnished. You can take them out with kitchen tongs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5582\" src=\"https:\/\/privateprop.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Bad-smell-from-refrigerator-Cleaning-Hacks-Private-Property-Nigeria.jpg\" alt=\"Bad smell from refrigerator - Cleaning Hacks - Private Property Nigeria\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/privateproperty.ng\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Bad-smell-from-refrigerator-Cleaning-Hacks-Private-Property-Nigeria.jpg 600w, https:\/\/privateproperty.ng\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Bad-smell-from-refrigerator-Cleaning-Hacks-Private-Property-Nigeria-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>4. Take Care of Bad Smell From Refrigerator<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you&#8217;re sick and tired of the weird or awful smell that comes from your refrigerator whenever you open it, you can use newspapers to absorb the smell. Using crumpled newspaper has proven to be an efficient odour-eater. When you are done, you can choose to either throw the newspaper away or you can use it to clean the window. Don&#8217;t forget to keep those old newspapers. They will come in handy for any enclosed space with a weird or nasty smell.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5583\" src=\"https:\/\/privateprop.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Clean-your-iron-Cleaning-Hacks-Private-Property-Nigeria.jpg\" alt=\"Clean your iron - Cleaning Hacks - Private Property Nigeria\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/privateproperty.ng\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Clean-your-iron-Cleaning-Hacks-Private-Property-Nigeria.jpg 640w, https:\/\/privateproperty.ng\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Clean-your-iron-Cleaning-Hacks-Private-Property-Nigeria-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/privateproperty.ng\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Clean-your-iron-Cleaning-Hacks-Private-Property-Nigeria-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/privateproperty.ng\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Clean-your-iron-Cleaning-Hacks-Private-Property-Nigeria-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/privateproperty.ng\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Clean-your-iron-Cleaning-Hacks-Private-Property-Nigeria-265x198.jpg 265w, https:\/\/privateproperty.ng\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Clean-your-iron-Cleaning-Hacks-Private-Property-Nigeria-560x420.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>5. Keep Your Iron Clean<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ironing with an iron with a stained surface can be annoying; especially when someone else uses the iron. One easy way to clean the surface of your iron is to run it over a foil while it is hot. If you don&#8217;t have a foil, you can use paper covered with salt. Both will achieve the same result.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5584\" src=\"https:\/\/privateprop.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Microwave-bowl-Cleaning-Hacks-Private-Property-Nigeria.jpg\" alt=\"Microwave bowl - Cleaning Hacks - Private Property Nigeria\" width=\"670\" height=\"377\" srcset=\"https:\/\/privateproperty.ng\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Microwave-bowl-Cleaning-Hacks-Private-Property-Nigeria.jpg 670w, https:\/\/privateproperty.ng\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Microwave-bowl-Cleaning-Hacks-Private-Property-Nigeria-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/privateproperty.ng\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Microwave-bowl-Cleaning-Hacks-Private-Property-Nigeria-600x338.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 670px) 100vw, 670px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>6.
