To easily remove burned on grease, pan drippings etc. from stove burner grids, soak them in a strong solution of hot water and laundry ammonia. I use a Dutch oven covered with a lid to protect against the fumes. You can leave it outside if you want. Soak them until the spills just wipe off. If your grids are very bad, you can soak them overnight. It doesn't hurt them.

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.

To remove deodorant stains from shirts etc., soak in white vinegar and warm water for 30 minutes before putting into the washing machine, the vinegar softens the deodorant and the detergent does the rest.

I have window air conditioners. In humid weather I collect the water which discharges from the air conditioners by placing a bucket on the ground under the drip hole. I use this water to water my garden and potted outdoor plants. By washing my garden spade in the bucket after turning my compost, I also add fertilizer to the water.

Thanks Kryslyn, is there something to click on to get the recipe for these tips that Kim and Angie talk about from the show? I have an easy tip for Hairspray that gets on the bathroom walls and door and mirrors. Use Clarifying Shampoo . I mix up about two dime size dollups into a small spray bottle add a small amount of water and spray the area and let sit for a few seconds. Wipe it off with clear water. Use more shampoo if needed . I have this way of getting hairspray all over my bathroom door and my mirrors and this really works for me.

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!

Rug Cleaning Tip Always rub or brush lightly from the outer edge toward the center of the stain to prevent spreading or causing the ring when using solvents especially on twist rugs and pile carpets. On old, dry or stubborn stains, saturate, blot, and brush. Repeat this operation as often as necessary to remove the stain completely.
