Clean the car
Vacuuming your car can be difficult and awkward, not to mention time consuming. Instead, use a lint roller! They’re much more maneuverable and can reach all the little nooks and crannies your vacuum can’t quite get to.

Freshen up the microwave
To make the interior of your microwave easier to wipe down, microwave a cup of water with a chopped-up lemon on high until the window is steamy. Let the bowl sit inside for 15 minutes, then open the door and easily wipe away the grime.
Good for more than just dishes
