Spring Cleaning Tips For Your Kitchen
- By Lara Velez
The words "spring cleaning"
can make the neatest person cringe. They mean more work. As if
cleaning all year long wasn't enough. Spring cleaning is more
than just cleaning...it is deep cleaning. Something that most
people do not have time for all year long. Since my expertise
is cooking, I have decided to focus on spring cleaning and dirt
build up prevention tips for the kitchen....
--- Baking soda or club soda
will clean and shine stainless steel sinks easily. Simply apply
directly to surface and scrub a dub dub.
--- To Remove stubborn water
spots from a stainless sink scrub with a cloth dampened with
rubbing alcohol or vinegar.
--- To freshen up your "white"
porcelain sinks, place paper towels across the bottom of your
sink and saturate with bleach. Let sit over night and rinse.
--- After you've cleaned your
refrigerator and freezer place an open box of baking soda in
the back of each to help absorb odors for about a month.
--- A few drops vanilla extract
on a piece of cotton placed in the refrigerator will also help
eliminate odors.
--- Wipe refrigerator with
vinegar after cleaning to help prevent mildew.
--- Change your refrigerator
light bulbs...that way you never have to worry about them burning
out during the year.
--- To clean baked-on food
from a cooking pan, put a dryer sheet in the pan, fill with water,
let sit overnight then sponge clean. The anti-static agents help
weaken the bond between the food and the pan and the fabric softeners
will soften the baked-on food.
--- To clean burnt or scorched
pans, sprinkle pans liberally with baking soda, adding just enough
water to moisten. Let stand over night.
--- To get those stubborn stains
off of the inside of you microwave; spray liberally with two
parts water and one part bleach, heat on high for 20 seconds
and let stand for about an hour. The stains should come right
off. For really stubborn stains heat for 30 seconds and let sit
for 2 - 3 hours.
