A cup of tea can be calming, but it’s important to keep that kettle clean. Here's a helpful tip to descale your kettle without using harsh chemical products. Hint: it’s easier than you might think! Mrs Hinch Cleaning Tips, Lauren Jones explained that boiling a kettle filled with some lemon juice and water can help revive shine and remove limescale! High in citric acid and antibacterial properties, lemons not only smell fresh but are great for cleaning household items as they are unlikely to cause damage to surfaces and appliances. When life gives you lemons, use them to tackle that pesky limescale!

Has this ever happened to you? Your favourite shirt, skirt, or pair of pants went missing on the journey from the washer to the drier? Now time is of the essence, and you need your garment dried fast. Here’s a helpful hint to dry in record time. Try tossing in a couple of dry towels with your garment, they’ll help absorb moisture and speed up the drying process. Size permitting, you could even toss your garment in your handy kitchen spinner. It’s a quick way to wick moisture away from fabric.

If left unchecked, cosmetics can quickly turn your bathroom into clutter-city. Plus, when looking to thin your makeup cabinet it’s not always clear which products are expired and which aren’t, since many simply state how many months the product will last after opening. To keep track of your cosmetics and keep your cabinet less cluttered try using a thin-tipped permanent marker to note the date you’ve opened it, suggests organizing guru Jeffrey Phillip. It’s a simple way to know what’s good and what needs to go the next time you cull your cluttered bathroom cabinet.

Did you know that many nurse shifts are 10-12 hours long? They give up their early mornings, weekends, late nights and more to ensure someone is always ready and willing to provide you and your loved ones with the best care possible.

Merry Maids wants to thank all the brave men and women out there for their kindness and dedication in caring for us when we need it most, especially during these uncertain and scary times. #NationalNursingWeek

Let them know that they're appreciated and a key part in keeping everyone safe.
