Soap Scum Vanishes with Vinegar

Who would’ve thought that this simple plastic bag hack would work such wonders? Use this trick to get all of the built-up gunk out of your shower head. Who wants to take a shower when there is soap scum and other debris encrusted in there? Here’s what you can do: simply grab a plastic bag (try for a large, freezer-sized one), fill it with vinegar, and tie it around the shower head so that the entire shower head it submerged in the vinegar. Leave it there for 30-60 minutes and…ta-da!

Kick Grime to the Curb with “Canned Air”

As crazy as it sounds, “canned air” really does exist, and you can find it in home improvement stores (such as Home Depot or Lowe’s.) This is a great solution for a dirty bathroom fan when you don’t want to take too much time out of your schedule. Simply spray that canned air right into the fan to dislodge dust bunnies, lint, and other particles.
