Kitchen Helpful Hints:

Got a Messy/Dirty Refrigerator?

* A little vanilla poured on a piece of cotton and placed in the refrigerator will eliminate odors.
* To prevent mildew from forming, wipe with vinegar. The acid effectively kills the mildew fungus.
* Mix 3 tablespoons of baking soda in a quart of warm water. Wash inside and out.
* Use a glycerin-soaked cloth to wipe sides and shelves. Future spills wipe up easier. And after the freezer has been defrosted, coat the inside and coils with glycerin. The next time you defrost, the ice will loosen quickly and drop off in sheets.
* An open box of baking soda will absorb food odors for at least a month or two.

Got a Dirty Sink?

* For a sparkling white sink, place paper towels across the bottom of your sink and saturate with household bleach. Let sit for 30 minutes or so.
* Stains on porcelain can be easily removed with a paste made of hydrogen peroxide and cream of tartar.
* Rub stainless steel sinks with lighter fluid if rust marks appear. After the rust disappears, wipe with your regular kitchen cleaner.
* To remove streaks from stainless steel, rub with baby oil or olive oil.
* Use a cloth dampened with rubbing alcohol to remove water spots from stainless steel.
* Spots on stainless steel can also be removed with white vinegar.
* Carbonated water will shine up stainless steel in a jiffy.
