Cleaning Kitchen Countertops – Use a mild dishwashing liquid for plastic lamination and rinse well afterwards to prevent residue from getting on food.
Cleaning Vinyl Floors – Mop with a mild detergent and wait awhile to allow it to penetrate the ground-in dirt.
Cleaning Safety Tip – Don’t mix cleaning products like ammonia and bleach. They can be toxic.
Cleaning with Automatic-Dishwasher Detergent – Automatic-dishwasher detergent works well on refrigerators, stoves, floors, walls and glass. Dissolve 1/4 cup in one gallon of very hot water. Wipe with a dry cloth afterward. Wear rubber gloves and test first to make sure that what you’re cleaning is colorfast.
Storing Leftovers – When storing leftovers in the refrigerator, use old butter tubs and cottage cheese containers. When its time to clean out the refrigerator you can discard the entire container. You won’t have a spilled mess in the garbage can or a sink full of dirty dishes.
Garbage Disposal Tips – If you’ve ever switched on the garbage disposal instead of the kitchen light, mark the switch with a dab of red nail polish, anything to stop that grating noise. If your dishwasher drains through your garbage disposal, switch it on when the hot soapy water is running through is so it gets a good cleaning.
