Hi,
 Way back in 2001, I read an article by Monica Resinger
about some money saving kitchen cleaning tips. I know that
all her tips will be helpful to you so I dug up my archives
to send it to you today.

Hope you enjoy it.

Stay focused and have a great day.

P.S. Remember - cleaning tips are just 20% of the work, the
other 80% is tied up in home organization and actually doing
the work.

Ten Time- And Money-Saving Kitchen Cleaning 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.
