To keep your cooktop clean and germ-free, wipe it down after every use using an all-purpose cleaner and a microfiber cloth. Aim to do deeper cleanings every week.

You can remove stubborn stains from your toilet by scrubbing with a store-bought cleaner appropriate for the toilet’s material. If you’re looking for a homemade solution, you can also use vinegar and baking soda—just pour 2 cups of white vinegar around the edges of your toilet. Once the bowl is wet with vinegar, sprinkle 3 tablespoons of baking soda, concentrating on the stains. Scrub the bowl with a toilet brush and flush to clean the mixture. 

Just a note: While combining baking soda and vinegar is OK, never mix that solution with any other cleaners.

Whether a scullery is worth it depends on how much you like to cook and entertain. If you frequently host gatherings—a scullery is likely worth the money. If you’re looking for ROI, it’s not so clear. It may not add significant value to your home, as it doesn’t increase square footage and may repurpose space that a buyer would have preferred to remain as-is (like a laundry room). 

Following a few basic tips for maintaining your front-load washer can extend your unit’s lifespan. 

• Clean your machine monthly and always use the correct detergent. (If your machine is High-Efficiency, only use HE detergent.)

• Avoid fabric softener.

• Leave the washer door open after a cycle to avoid moisture buildup.

• Remove all of the wet clothes promptly, and wipe down the machine after each use.

• Conduct an annual inspection yourself or hire someone to check that your machine is in tip-top shape. Proper maintenance means your machine will clean your clothes as best as possible, and you’ll prevent common issues like mold and mildew build-up on the seal or clogged filters from the water inlets.
