1. Toys

If you have a sick kid at home, the best way to sanitize their toys is to toss them in the dishwasher. They won't melt or get damaged and you're get rid of germs.

2. Shower Head

Take a plastic bag filled with vinegar and tie it around your shower head. Leave it on for an hour and wipe with a wet cloth. It'll look brand new.

3. Coffee Pot

You'll know it's time to clean your coffee maker when your coffee starts to taste weird. Fill your water chamber with half water and half vinegar. Run at a half-brew cycle and let it sit for an hour. Continue to run fresh water cycles until you can't smell vinegar anymore.

4. Cheese Grater

Trying to clean a cheese grater with a sponge, doesn't do much besides slice it up. The acids in a potato will get the residue off of your grater.

5. Cookie Sheets

A paste made from 1/3 baking soda and some hydrogen peroxide will make your cookie sheets and other baking pans like new.

6. Cutting Board

The nicks and cuts that form in cutting boards create space for food particles to get stuck. Use a lemon dipped in salt to get food out of the grooves in your cutting board.

7. Microwave

Microwave a cup full of vinegar for two minutes. The steam in the microwave will make it easy to wipe away any grime in the microwave.

8. Mattress

Vacuum your mattress to get any crumbs or debris off of it. Then sprinkle baking soda on it and vacuum it off for a fresh scent.

9. Blinds

Dip a sock in a water and vinegar mixture and wipe each blind with the sock.

10. Oven

Water and baking soda paste will clean your oven a lot faster than a self-cleaning cycle.

11. Toothbrush

Put your toothbrush in a glass full of arm water and vinegar and let it sit for a few hours.

12. Blender

Warm water and a little bit of dish soap and a spin in the blender will clean it.

13. Cast Iron Pans

The secret to cleaning cast iron pans is to use coarse salt and water to scrub any grime from the pan.

14. Toaster

Most people only think of the crumbs inside their toasters when they decide to clean them. The outside could use some love too. Cream of tartar and a scouring pad will clean it right up.
