About Spotless Hacks
Spotless Hacks explains cheap cleaning tricks properly: what to use, how long to leave it, which surfaces it damages and what never to mix it with. Most readers arrive from one of our short videos; a video shows the trick, the guide gives the details and the safety facts.
The site is run by Martín Golia, an independent publisher. More about who's behind it.
Editorial policy
How guides are written
- Every guide answers the question in its first lines, then gives the steps, the mistakes to avoid and a safety note.
- Drafts are written with the help of AI tools and are always reviewed and edited by a person before publishing.
- We prefer cheap, common products (baking soda, white vinegar, dish soap, microfiber cloths) and recommend a specific product only when it clearly does the job better.
- We do not invent experts, credentials or personal tests.
Sources we use
- US EPA (indoor air, mold, disinfectants, Safer Choice)
- CDC (cleaning and disinfecting at home)
- ENERGY STAR (appliances)
- NFPA and the US Fire Administration (fire safety)
- Product labels and manufacturer manuals, which always come first for how to use a product
Health and safety articles link to 2–4 sources at the bottom of the page.
Corrections
If you find an error, email [email protected] with the page link. We check it against the source, fix it, and update the "Last reviewed" date. Safety corrections are handled first.
Ads and affiliate links
The site is free to read and is paid for by ads and, in some cases, affiliate links. That never changes what we recommend. Read our disclosure.
