A cleaning and decluttering guru has revealed five simple tricks that will give your home a luxe makeover with minimal effort.
Chantel Mila, also known as Mama Mila on social media, is popular online for her simple and effective tips and tricks to keep the house clean and tidy for longer.
The Melbourne mother of two shared tips on how to make your home smell nice, remove stains and rust from your kitchen appliances and repair loose carpet corners.
Chantel was tired of her house smelling like cleaning products, until she discovered the perfect solution.
The mother started by putting a few teaspoons of vanilla extract in a glass container and putting it in the oven.
“Your whole house will smell like cookies,” she said in a video.
Chantel also regularly experiences rust on her steel appliances, a problem faced by millions of Australians every day.
She sprinkles half a lemon with baking soda and scrubs her hobs with it until they shine. Within minutes, they look like new again.

The acid in lemons has an antibacterial and antiseptic effect and acts as a natural bleaching agent. The oils in the lemon peel also ensure that the skin remains clean and shiny.
The mother also discovered that all of her kitchen containers had sticky residue on them because she had hastily removed all of the store-bought labels.
“Use a blow dryer to remove stickers without leaving any residue,” Chantel advised.
This trick will bring you one step closer to your perfect kitchen.
Chantel then revealed a simple way to brighten up your living space.
While rugs can bring an entire room together, a simple decorative piece can also draw attention and make the space look cluttered if there are raised corners.

Chantel’s secret tip is to place an ice cube on the corner and put something heavy on top of it.
Once the ice cube has melted and the water has dried, your carpet should look normal again.
The mother also shared how to keep insects away when entertaining guests outside.
While the constant buzzing of pests can drive you to the edge, there are plenty of deterrents to keep them from entering your home.
Chantel uses a combination of lemon and rosemary in water when she is outside. This scent gives off a strong insect scent and keeps everything from spiders to flies away.
