Top Ten Kitchen Cleaning & Money Saving Tips
By Monica Resinger
Here
are ten money and time saving tips to help you in your kitchen:
- 1. Use those leftover slivers of soap to cut expenses! Cut a small
pocket in a sponge and place small slivers of leftover soap into it
for a sudsy washing sponge.
- 2. Hold a scouring pad underneath a sponge when scrubbing. This will
give you a better grip and protect your hands.
- 3. Save time on the dinner dishes. Before serving dinner, run a sink
full of very hot soapy water. When everyone is finished eating dinner,
tell them to wash and rinse their own plate.
- 4. Use a paint scraper or putty knife to remove baked on or cemented
goo from stovetops, countertops or floors.
- 5. Use a toothbrush to scrub hard to reach surfaces such as behind
and on faucets.
- 6. Baking soda makes an excellent scouring powder.
- 7. By keeping a spoon rest on the stove, you'll avoid a lot of messy
clean-ups.
- 8. Place sticky (honey, syrup, molasses and oil) containers on plastic
lids in the cupboard or fridge to avoid sticky messes.
- 9. To get odors out of plastic containers, place crumpled newspaper
inside the container and seal it overnight.
- 10. Keep a fillable wand near the kitchen sink and when you have a
few spare minutes, wash a few dishes with the wand. This may help you
cut down on doing full loads of dishes.
