Clean & Efficient Kitchens Run a lot Smoother - How do you get there?

Clean and efficient kitchens make things run a lot smoother - well I have some ideas to help! The dishwasher - modern marvel, right. Well, there are some things that help it clean better and save some money! Fill your soap cup halfway with detergent and halfway with baking soda. The baking soda will help the machine clean your dishes better and it will keep your machine cleaned! Plus you'll use less soap, which saves cash! If your dishwasher is looking a little grungy, fill the soap cup with some powdered laundry bleach, and run it through a cycle empty. This will clean and disinfect the racks, jets and interior in one quick step! Speaking of laundry, did you know that a little laundry pre-wash spray cleans scuffs and stains off of porcelain sinks? To prevent sticky messes in your cabinets, store oils, vinegars and honey in old cake pans. This does two things. It keeps the shelf clean and you can take out the whole pan to get what you're looking for rather than rummage through the cabinets! If items tend to freeze to your freezer, line the shelves with wax paper. It'll keep these items from freezing in place. Clean and Efficient kitchens within your grasp!
