Trouble
removing food particles left on stainless steel pan?
Pour a few
drops of vinegar on to the pan and then sprinkle a little baking soda, and
watch it bubbles for a minute. Now add some hot water as required and use a
scrubber to completely clean the leftover food particles with much ease.
Getting rid of
pantry moths
Add whole dried
bay leaves to the corners of your pantry or cupboard or add them directly to
your canister of flour, rice, or other dry food to Repel Bugs in Pantry such as
beetles, weevils, flies, moths, cockroaches, and ants.
Keep your
benchtop spotless
Place aluminium foil (or baking paper) on your benchtop when you peel
vegetables or cut the raw fish. This will safeguard the benchtop from possible
stains. Once the peeling task is over
you can put the aluminium foil or the paper into the garbage. You can save time
cleaning the becnhtop after use.
Avoid bad
smells while cooking
Are you getting
trouble with bad cooking smells while preparing cauliflower or cabbage?
Putting out a saucer of cotton wool soaked up in vinegar will absorb the bad
odour in the kitchen.
Keep coffee accessories
next to the machine
How do you make
coffee in the morning?
After getting
up in the morning, walking to the pantry to get the coffee, then taking out the
grinder from a lower cabinet to grind the beans, then walking across the
kitchen to add the ingredients in the coffeemaker? Don’t you think this
disturbs you in the morning and is also more time consuming?
What you can do
is to keep your coffee beans, the grinder, sugar, spoon and mugs in one cabinet
right above the coffeemaker, or somewhere close to it. Try it and you will feel the advantage! This
can be applied to your breakfast paraphernalia and other drinks makers too.
Keeping your microwave
clean and sparkling
Steam can do
wonders to loosen the oil, starch and other food debris stuck on the internal
walls of your microwave. Make a ball out of a damp cloth and put it in the
microwave, then heat it till it emits steam. Once the steam has fully spread
inside the microwave, wait for one minute and open the door. Now wipe all the
stubborn stains and food particles easily.
Fridge maintenance
tip
Check your fridge
daily or at least on a weekly basis to ensure that it is clean. Keep food away
from the back wall of the fridge. This is to avoid food particles getting
absorbed by the ice dews at the back of the fridge. This contaminated ice forms
mouldy water when melts and becomes unclean and smelly.
How to make
your sink smell better
Clean the sink
with a mixture of ice and lemons or vinegar and baking soda to avoid stinking
of the sink. While cleaning the sink, ensure to scrub the underside of the rubber
gasket thoroughly with a scrub brush to remove mouldy, smelly food particles
left over there.
Cleaning tips
for silverware
Take a large
container, line it with aluminium foil and put some cooking salt inside. Fill
the container with water and dip all your silverware in the water. The
aluminium foil and salt will react chemically to remove all persistent dirt on
the silverware giving it extra shine and sheen.
