Here are some kitchen cleanup hacks


Use baking soda to clean pots and pans. It's like magic for stubborn stains!

Toss lemon or orange peels in your garbage disposal to keep things fresh.

Heat water with lemon slices to steam clean your microwave effortlessly.

Mix water and vinegar in a spray bottle to easily cut through grease.

Rub your cutting board with a lemon to remove odors and kill germs.

Freeze soapy water in ice cube trays for quick pan degreasing.

Use coffee grounds to banish odors in the fridge or disposal.

Toss sponges in the dishwasher for a quick and easy clean.

Crumple foil to scrub away baked-on gunk from pans.

Keep drains clean with baking soda, vinegar, and hot water.

Cover appliance tops with plastic wrap to minimize splatter.

Marinate in a Ziploc bag for no-mess cleanup.

Keep cleaning supplies accessible on a Lazy Susan under the sink.

Freeze vinegar cubes for a quick garbage disposal refresh.

Use a lint roller to pick up crumbs in a flash.

New and interesting tips for me. :)

Also: cook wet sponges for two minutes in the microwave to disinfect.

Yes! I also use this method to scrape the grill. I absolutely do not want to risk emergency surgery due to those wire brush bristles breaking off & sticking to the grill.

Yep! really great idea.(y)

And: it's good to keep a container of baking soda near the stove to smother grease fires. :eek:

Me too. I don't like using those either.:clap:

@Sandy I'm looking at that list and the only conclusion I can come too is that you spend too much time in the kitchen. :cookie:
You're right. I'm in the kitchen a lot, and I want to spend less time there.
