Homemaking tips for the kitchen:
To get the stains off of cookie sheets, pie pans and other cookware,
soak
them in a solution of borax and water.
If your jars or glasses look cloudy fill them with warm water and add a
few
drops of ammonia. Wait about an hour - then wash and rinse in hot
water. My
mother-in-law soaks them in a solution of 2 cups vinegar to a sink full
of hot
water.
Silver that has dulled can be shined up again by rubbing a potato
dipped in
baking soda. Or when you boil potatoes, save the water to soak your
silver in.
Never drain grease down the sink! It will clog up your sinks over time.
If
you forget and do it anyway, be sure to run some hot water with dish
soap. Dawn
is good for degreasing. If your sink does become clogged up pour 1/4
cup of
baking soda down the drain followed by 1/2 cup of white vinegar. Wait
few
minutes and then pour a pot of boiling water down the drain.
To clean off the oven window, make a paste of baking soda and water.
Rub onto
the window and let sit for about 15 minutes. Wipe clean with a paper
towel
and clear water.
