April is the perfect time of year for a spring clean and it can be stressful thinking of how much you’ve got to do. This one simple household item could help you thoroughly clean one of your most used kitchen items. Using a lemon and salt to clean your cutting boards will help to restore them.

Cutting boards can harbour a lot of dirt and no matter how well you clean them, bacteria can easily stay on them. Make sure to use coarse salt which will really scrub the board.

Sprinkle the cutting board with coarse salt and then cut a lemon in half and rub the cut edge of the lemon all over the cutting board, squeezing so some of the juices get let out of the lemon.

This should provide an in-depth clean and while you don’t need to do this all the time, it’s  a great way to deep clean this spring.

But this isn’t the only cleaning tip you can follow in your home this spring.

Another tip is to shine stainless steel with baby oil which is a popular household hack - once people start doing it they often can’t go back.

This will keep your stainless steel items looking shiny and nice.

You’ll need some rags to rub the baby oil onto the appliances - make sure you buff it into the items properly when you’re putting it on.

If you’re looking to reorganise your fridge, a new hack which people are more commonly doing is using a lazy susan to organise the items in there.

While this may not be for everyone, it allows you to spin the lazy susan to easily find the items you need instead of rummaging around looking for them amongst your other items.

By following these few simple tips you can upgrade your home and have a productive deep clean this spring.
