Spring Cleaning Hacks You'll Wish You'd Found Out Years Ago

Lemon and Vinegar as a Microwave Solution

If cleaning your microwave is the bane of your existence, then this hack will be a God-send. Microwave a bowl of lemon and water to soften any debris caked on the inside, then wipe it clean. The lemon will also shine the hardware as well.

The More You Know

To keep cookies and other baked goods soft after baking, add a slice of store-bought white bread to an airtight container.
Run the sink water until the bowl is about half full. Then pull the stopper and turn on the disposer to flush it out.
If you accidentally got permanent marker on a piece of furniture, don't lose hope just yet. Using a small dab of non-gel toothpaste, rub the marker stain in a circular motion with a soft cloth and it should buff right out.
In a pinch for labels? Just reach for the rubber bands. Wrap ’em around your mason jars and you’ll never mistake salt for sugar again.
