From Moldy Showers to Junk Drawers: How to Clean the 10 Things Annoying You Most


Over the past week you may have noticed dust and dirt that you never clocked before. Here’s an expert guide to getting your home sparkling clean.

Clean Your Oven

Easily the worst job in the house, but a gleaming oven will become one of your life’s new pleasures. “Prevention is better than cure,” says Gemma Bray, the creator of the Organised Mum Method. “I swear by oven liners, which will catch everything at the bottom of the oven. You take it out and quickly rinse it under the tap. But before you can start using an oven liner you have to start off with a clean oven.”

You can go for a heavy-duty oven cleaner, but many people are put off by the harsh chemicals these contain. “Other people swear by using bicarbonate of soda in a paste, which I have never really had much success with, especially if you are battling a really grimy oven.”

Bray takes out racks and leaves them to soak in a bath of very hot, soapy water. “Washing-up liquid is one of the best things for tackling grease. Slowly, little and often, work on the bottom of the oven – even in 15-minute slots.” Wait until after you have used the oven, and it has cooled but is still warm. “Use hot, soapy water and a cloth, and every time you use the oven go in there, go at it and eventually you’ll start to see a difference.”
