Dirty Talk

Don't use expensive proprietary cleaners on ceramic hobs, use a value brand cream cleanser and finish off by buffing up with a few drops of white vinegar on a soft cloth to shine it up.

To remove stubborn burnt on food from saucepans/frying pans, add a tablespoons or 2 of laundry powder/a tablet and water and boil on cooker until spotless again. Wash pan thoroughly afterwards.

stop slugs with salt!

use cream of tarter in a sink of hot water and vinegar let set over night then clean the electric stove pans,salt and lemon juice work well too

I have seen a few microwave solutions that include a bowl of water ad a slice of lemon and I agree but would like to add that if you alow the bowl to sit for five to ten minutes and then come into the microwave with a clean dry cloth starting from the top nearly every bit will just wipe away from the soaking in the steam.

I compost my garbage for my small garden. I place peelings and other vegetable waste in a plastic food storage tub next to my sink until it fills. Then I place the waste in my composter. The plastic food container tends to smell badly by the time it is full. I have found wiping it and the lid out with white vinegar and letting it air dry solves this problem with little fuss.

we have a white cast iron sink in the kitchen. it gets pretty stained over the course of a week. i use an electrosol tablet and fill the sink with hot water and let it sit till the water is cool. drain, and just wipe out.

Heavily Iced Freezer: Empty & Unplug Freezer. Sit a pan of HOT water inside the freezer. Before you begin scrubbing, Throw a hand towel in the pan. Wring out the thoroughly wet hand towel around the perimeter top edge of the freezer. Use a PLASTIC putty knife to separate the ice from the wall of the freezer. Ice sheets pop off the wall. Proceed to clean with baking soda & dish soap. Freezer cleaned in under 5 minutes! Now... to get the foods organized... hummmm.

To clean burnt food from under the stove, try a mixture of baking soda, salt, and water. It works wonders as a cleaner, and if you make a separate batch, it can be used as toothpaste, as well!

I add a cap full of bleach, and a drop of dish washing liquid to hot water in my sink and soak my dishcloths over night. In the morning the cloths are clean and sanitized and the sink is sparkling and disinfected.
