Tips for Cleaning the Refrigerator

2009-08-11T11:36:00.000-07:00

Half a lemon stored in your fridge will help control and eliminate unpleasant smells.

Turn the temperature control off then unplug your fridge.

For stuck on interior stains, you can sprinkle a little baking soda directly on the spot and add just a little water to it to make a paste. Allow this to set on the stain and then scrub gently and allow the paste to remove the gunk.

When cleaning out your fridge, always use baking soda and warm water to wipe the insides of your refrigerator and freezers- soap or dishwashing liquid will leave a smell and can taint food.

Scuffs and stains can be removed by rubbing with non-abrasive tooth-paste, while grease spills will succumb to a little lemon juice and water.

Cleaning Non Stick Cookware

2009-08-11T08:10:00.000-07:00

Scrape out any food particles using a wooden, rubber or plastic spatula.

Allow the pan to return to room temperature before submerging in warm, sudsy water.

Wipe the pan clean using a washcloth or nonabrasive Nylon scrubber

Do not put the pan in the dishwasher.

Do not submerge hot pans in cold water or cold pans in hot water. Lukewarm water is best for cleaning non-stick pans.

Only clean pans with gentle dishwashing soaps and nonabrasive scrubbers.

Washing Gold Items

2009-08-11T07:47:00.000-07:00

To clean gold items just use soapy hot water The soapy water is going to break down dirts that are clinging to the metal. All you have to do for the great shine is to dry with a clean, soft lintless cloth!

Pearls can be cleaned by rubbing a soft cloth with a bit of olive oil rubbed over the jewellary.

Wash your Diamonds with Toothpaste on an old toothbrush. Then wash in clean water. They will sparkle!!

Soak jewellery (eg. silver, copper, gold) in the water drained from curdled milk for 15 mins. wash them with soap afterwards. Get back the sparkle in them to look new.

Washing Silver Items

2009-08-11T07:37:00.000-07:00

Make a paste with water and baking soda and coat the item with the paste. Rub the item, rinse the mixture off, and then dry well. This should make your silver beautiful and shiny!

Toothpaste is a great cleaning tip for cleaning all of the crevices and hard to reach places. Coat the item with toothpaste and run it under warm water to make a foam. Rub the item well and then rinse, dry, and buff with a soft cloth. For especially difficult crevices, you can use an old soft bristled toothbrush.

Don't wear rubber gloves when handling your silver because rubber erodes it.

Polish silver with a gentle circular motion without too much pressure. Use a soft brush to get into hard-to-reach cracks
