Empty out every cupboard and get rid of anything that is past its \u2018best before\u2019 or \u2018use by\u2019 date. You should also set aside any forgotten tins or unused non-perishables for your local foodbank if you can\u2019t see your household getting through them anytime soon. The cupboard wipe-down afterwards will be so satisfying that the extra effort you went to should feel worth it. Once your cupboards are looking brand new again, make sure to only refill with items that are useful or edible!"}, {"text_idx": "#000015", "text": "While harsh chemicals often do the trick, excessive use is no good for your wellbeing or the environment.
