We all know that you can head to your local grocery store and discover a flurry of chemicals and cleaning solutions to keep your place looking spotless. But did you realize that you can use different household products that are probably already in your residence?
Check out this list of apartment cleaning hacks from experts that can help you make your space look shiny and new without breaking the bank or using harsh chemicals.
Deodorize Your Garbage Disposal

If you’ve ever experienced foul-smelling garbage disposals, you understand how bad it can be and how difficult it can be to get rid of. But using this helpful tip will qualify you to handle stinky disposals at a moment’s warning.
Take an ice cube tray and fill each hole with white vinegar and a miniature chunk of lemon – they both have natural deodorizing properties. Then, put the tray in the freezer and wait for the magic to happen. Whenever your disposal starts to smell, drop one of the frozen cubes in and run warm water for a minute or two while the disposal is operating.

Keep Your Oven Clean

Stop bending over backward (or forward) to get your oven clean. Cleaning the interior of a range is a formidable task, plain and simple. Bending over and going headfirst into a messy oven for hours while you scrub away at gunk is less than ideal. But what if there were an easier way?
Thankfully there is. It’s so sinple, you can do it in your sleep. First, preheat your oven to 150 degrees. Meanwhile, arrange a medium-sized pot of water to boil on your stovetop. Once the oven preheats, turn it off. If you own a gas stove, confirm the pilot light is extinguished as soon as you have concluded preheating the oven. Once the oven is preheated, and the water boiling, pour a cup of ammonia into a shallow baking dish and set it on the top rack of your oven. Put the pot of boiling water on the bottom shelf. Now, wait. Since the oven isn’t running, you can even leave it overnight, but a minimum of three hours is advised.
Once the ammonia has had sufficient time to loosen any grime inside the oven, unload the ammonia and water. Add a little dish soap to the ammonia, and employ the soapy ammonia combination and a sponge to swab away any grease or grime. It should be pretty easy since the ammonia relaxed the stains.
Dishwashers Need Cleaning Too

It might appear paradoxical, but you must clean dishwashers. Though their sole objective is to clean what’s inside them, food remnants, grease, and mildew can quickly build up over time. Cleaning your dishwasher regularly will help control unwanted odors and keep the appliance running at its peak performance.
