Some
cleaning jobs are a real chore and expensive too if you buy many of the big
brand cleaning products available. But you can make all those niggling jobs
easier and cheaper (plus kinder to the environment) to carry out by using other
items from your kitchen cupboards.
When a
casserole, cottage pie or whatever oozes on to the base of the oven take
immediate action by sprinkling the spillage liberally with salt. Leave to cool,
then the offending mess can be lifted off as a hard crust. So much easier than
scrubbing.
Don’t spend
money on fridge fresheners; just place a small bowl of bicarbonate of soda in
the fridge to absorb any unwelcome whiffs. Don’t forget to change it regularly.
If you have
chalky deposits round the base of your taps, soak some heavy-duty kitchen roll
(e.g. Regina Blitz) in white wine vinegar, wrap it around the affected area and
leave for a few hours. Rinse and dry for a gleaming, lime scale-free finish.
To clean a
microwave, place a bowl of water inside and heat for 2-3 minutes. This loosens
grime which will then wipe away. For added freshness, add a couple of slices of
lemon.
