About TryCleaningHacks
Practical cleaning advice, written by one person who cares about getting it right.
Hi, I'm Fredler
Welcome to TryCleaningHacks. I'm Fredler Pierre-Louis, and I run this site. It started for a simple reason: most cleaning advice online is vague, product-heavy, or just plain wrong. I wanted a place that gave straight answers, step-by-step methods, exact quantities, and honest notes about what works and what doesn't.
Today the site has 81+ guides across 14 categories, covering kitchens, bathrooms, laundry, appliances, floors, odors, and more. New guides are added every week. If you have a cleaning question you can't find an answer to, I'd like to hear it.
What this site is
A library of cleaning guides built around methods that actually hold up in real homes. Most use everyday ingredients, baking soda, white vinegar, dish soap, hydrogen peroxide, instead of expensive specialty products.
Each guide is written to be followed: clear steps, real quantities, dwell times, and notes on which surfaces a method is safe for. Where a popular hack doesn't work, or is risky on certain materials, the guide says so.
How the guides are made
Each guide goes through research on the underlying cleaning chemistry, a drafting pass, and a final review for accuracy, safety, and clarity before it goes live. Methods are checked against multiple sources, and surface-safety warnings are written specifically rather than as generic disclaimers.
If a method on the site ever causes a problem on your surface or product, I want to know. Read the full process on the Editorial Policy page.
