A CLEANING expert says you only need a few ingredients to spruce up your home.
Armen Adamjan (@creative_explained), a gardening expert and author, has shared a budget-friendly alternative to costly cleaning tools.
Adamjan is the author of Don't Throw It Out, a book chock full of planting hacks and how-tos.
Coconut oil, as he shares in a recent video, can be used to shine, scrub, and remove just about anything around the house.
The first hack shown in the video is accomplished with a blend of coconut oil and baking soda.
He said: "Use it to rub on your shower glass doors. Leave it on for about 10 minutes.
"Then grab a sponge, scrub, wipe. Look at that. Soap scum and hard water stains gone! This will also prevent hard water stains."
Next, Adamjam mixed a bit of coconut oil with lemon juice. This mixture "can restore leather and get it to shine."
He added: "Just dab a small amount with a cloth and rub it in a circular motion."
Coconut oil is also a quick fix for squeaky doors: "Just rub it on the hinges. Done!"

Coconut oil by itself can also remove crayon marks from walls.
As for other magic combinations, he said: "Mix coconut oil with vinegar and use it to polish metal surfaces."
A simple mixture of coconut oil, hot water, and dish soap is also a savior for dirty spaces.
"Pour it into a spray bottle, close it, and use it to clean your walls and baseboards," he said.
"It'll clean and repel dust. You can also use it to get wood to shine."
Even beauty enthusiasts can get in on the fun by transforming their tools.
"Makeup brushes in a cup. Add coconut oil, lemon juice, little bit of water. Let it soak for five minutes. Rinse, air dry, and boom, brand new."
