I LOVE all the great ideas I get from AllYou; from recipes, to cleaning and everything in between. One of these days I'm also gonna win one of the sweepstakes prizes, sorry to dash your hopes if you are also trying to win one of their fabulous offerings. On the next rainy day when you have nothing to do try browsing through a zillion tips to help you create a fantastic home around you and your family!
Get baked-on foods off pots and pans with a dryer sheet. Just place one in a pot, fill with water and let sit overnight, then sponge off the next morning. The antistatic agent weakens the bond between the stuck-on food and the surface of the pan, while the fabric softener works its loosening magic.
To clean the inside of your dishwasher pour ½ cup white vinegar or fresh squeezed lemon or lime juice into your dishwasher when you start your load.
Harness the power of citrus to clean your microwave: Cut a lemon in half, squeeze juice into a small bowl of water, add both lemon halves and place in the microwave for five minutes. The fresh scent eliminates cooking odors, and condensation from the steam loosens random splatters that have hardened. Wipe with a damp cloth.
