It seems like it always so much easier to make messes than it is to clean them up. Maybe this is because cleaning takes a long time and all those cleaning products irritate our eyes and even our nose. We have to stay clear of these areas for a long time after cleaning. However, these four items found in the kitchen just might change everything. You'll be surprised at what an incredible job they can do!

The Four Items In The Kitchen That Can Help You Clean Include:

1. Salt
The main reason I use salt to clean is that I have an aversion to scrubby sponges. And sometimes you need a little bit of abrasion. Enter salt, plus whatever oil I have handy and crusty pots be gone!  Salt is also great for getting stains and odors out.
2. Baking Soda

Did you know that baking soda is actually a salt? That's really more of a fun fact, and, word to the wise, you probably don't want to eat it.

The important thing to know about baking soda is that it has a pH that's slightly alkaline. This means it reacts with acids, like smelly odors, for example, to neutralize them.
3. Vinegar
Vinegar is your one-stop shop for soap scum, hard-water stains, glue residue, streaks on shiny surfaces, stains of all kinds and stinky odors. In fact, vinegar is so effective that it's sometimes too good at its job — so just be careful when using it on delicate fabrics or surfaces and, when in doubt, dilute with water.
4. Lemons
My favorite thing about lemons is that they smell amazing. If I clean my cutting board with a half lemon and a bit of salt, my board will smell like a grove of lemon trees  Lemons aren't just good for making things smell delicious; their acidic nature makes them aces at removing rust and limescale.

Wow!

These four basic items you probably have in your kitchen work wonders when it comes to cleaning. You might like how well they work so much, you'll use them as often as you can! Have you tried cleaning with these items from your kitchen yet?
