CLEANING TIPS

Keep a small soaped sponge near the stove to wipe up grease
spatters and avoid bigger cleanups later.

A toothbrush is ideal for cleaning a strainer, scrubbing a
grater, cleaning the blades of a blender, and a dozen other
kitchen uses. Keep one near the sink.

If you need to clean stains from plastic dishes, rub them
well with baking soda as you would if you were using a
scouring powder. you can use bleach to remove tea, coffee
and juice stains, but bleach ruins the finish of some
plastic dishes.
