Vinegar is our go-to cleaning product for so many of our household to-dos. It can get rid of toilet stains and odor, eliminate stains on your favorite clothes, and unclog kitchen or bathroom clogs. Additionally, Apartment Therapy notes that vinegar is a brilliant tool to clean several areas of our home, from the coffee maker to streaked windows. Kadi Dulude of Wizard of Homes tells the outlet, “I love using vinegar for house cleaning. I know it takes time to get used to the smell, but it’s really affordable, healthy, and effective.”

Once you learn how easy this vinegar-faucet hack is and that you won’t have to spend hours scrubbing, we think this will be on your regular to-do cleaning list. Apartment Therapy explains that you can take a small plastic bag, fill it with white vinegar, wrap it around your showerhead or faucets, and secure it with a cable tie or rubber band. Leave it overnight, and by morning you will have a grime-free faucet. This process can help eradicate unsightly stains and buildup.
Family Handyman is also a fan of this hands-free hack; however, they suggest using a toothbrush or scrub brush to loosen any stuck-on gunk or debris once you have removed your bag of vinegar from the faucet. There you have it! Enjoy sparkling faucets throughout your home with minimal effort. If you’d like some visual instruction, check out USA Today’s TikTok to see how it all goes down.
