14 Cleaning Tricks That Save Your Back and Knees After 60 (No Kneeling, No Ladders) If you were raised to believe a clean house means scrubbing hard, here's some good news: most grime comes loose on its own with water and time. 14 cleaning tricks that save your back and knees, with no kneeling and no ladders. Grouped into seven easy families: using the contact time printed on your cleaner's label, soaking pans right away, an overnight baking soda paste for oven glass, letting the dishwasher clean hood filters, washing the shower liner in the machine, the pillowcase trick for ceiling fans, paper on top of the fridge, a spray mop instead of a heavy bucket, the honest truth about robot vacuums, cleaning low places from a rolling seat, carrying everything in one caddy, a long-handled brush for the tub, an overnight soak for the toilet, and the one safety rule that must never be skipped: never mix cleaning products. You'll also learn where to start depending on what hurts most, whether it's your knees, back, shoulders or hands.
