HOORAY FOR VINEGAR!!!!
In an earlier post we shared our multipurpose household cleaner that is chemical free and great for pretty much any surface! Here are more recipes for your kitchen that you may love as well!
Stinky Dishwasher
- Add 1/2 cup vinegar to an empty dishwasher and run the rinse cycle. This will open up any clogs in the dishwasher drain lines and deodorize the machine.
Messy Microwave
If your microwave is spattered with old sauces and grease
- place a glass measuring cup with 1 cup water and 1/4 cup vinegar inside microwave
- heat on high for 3 minutes, then remove measuring cup and wipe inside with a damp sponge.
Clean and Freshen your Dish Sponge
Sometimes your sponge is still good to use but there will be a smell. To freshen up and clean sponge, spray sponge generously with the multipurpose home cleaner or dampen with water and tsp vinegar, microwave for 60 seconds!
Is your coffee tasting blah?
Buildup in a coffeemaker's brewing system can affect the flavor. To get rid of buildup:
- run 1 brewing cycle of cold water and 1/4 cup vinegar.
- Follow with a cycle of clean water
- If you still smell vinegar run another cycle using fresh water
Is your oven hood greasy?
At least once a year(twice is best) you should "de-grease" the vents of your oven hood.
- Spray the multipurpose household cleaner and let is sit for 30 seconds and wipe clean with a damp sponge or paper towel
OR
- Wipe vents with a sponge and undiluted(straight) vinegar, or remove vents and soak them for 15 minutes in 1 cup vinegar and 3 cups hot water.
