Cleaning TiPs #2 BURNT POTS

BURNT POTS
Materials

  • 1 cup of vinegar.
  • 2 tablespoons of baking soda.
  • 1 cup of water (give or take depending on the size of your pan).
  • A burnt stainless steel pan that was left empty and unattended on a heated hot plate. oops!.
  • A scourer, because I can't find any way to avoid it entirely








1. Fill the bottom of the pan  with a layer of water.
2. Add the vinegar.
3. Bring the pan  to the boil. It should be looking a bit cleaner already.
4. Remove the pan  from the heat and add the baking soda. Expect fizz!
5. Empty the pan  and scour as normal; if necessary add an extra bit of dry baking soda.
6. If there are any super stubborn marks that don't come off with scouring, make a paste of baking soda and a couple of drops of water. Leave the paste on the marks for a while and return to clean as normal
7. Ta-da! Now you can put your feet up and enjoy the many hours you saved yourself standing over the sink.

Cleaning TiPS #1 : Bathroom

CLEANING TIPSBATHROOM

    


Materials

  • Toothbrush
  • Vinegar
  • Water
  • Baking Soda
1. Grab an old toothbrush or a small grout cleaning brush. We'd recommend the special purpose tool because grout brushes have sturdier bristles and are a little bigger, but an old toothbrush will totally work in a pinch.
2. Start simple. Spray the affected area with a 50-50 mixture of vinegar and water, and then scrub with the brush.
3. If that's not doing the trick, reach for the baking soda. Make a paste by mixing baking soda with water, then spread the mixture along the grout.
4. Using the brush, scrub the baking soda mixture into the grout, again in circular motions. Rinse well and repeat if necessary.
5. Try out a steam cleaner. You can rent one from most home improvement stores.
6. If that is not enough, turn to a non toxic oxygen bleach—which is normally combo of borax or sodium Percarbonate. Just like baking soda, make a thick paste to scrub into the grout.
7. Leave the paste on the grout for about 15 minutes, and then scrub it off and rinse well.

P/s : If you don’t have Borax, you can use another laundry booster
