It’s said the kitchen is the most lived in room in many households, unfortunately this means it can also be the messiest! Here are some quick kitchen cleaning tips to help you keep the mess and clutter to a minimum.
* Clean the kitchen cabinets, stove, refrigerator and counters with baking soda.
* Sweep and mop your kitchen floor.
* To remove skid marks on linoleum rub the spot with toothpaste before washing the floor.
* Remove all clutter from your countertop; that includes dishes, glasses, utensils cups and other items you may have lying around.
* Store as many appliances as you can in the cabinets.
* Clean your sink with olive oil.
* Replace your dish rag regularly, as well as the sponge or scrub you use for washing.
* To remove hard-water build-up in a teapot or kettle, pour in two cups of vinegar and bring to a boil. Let simmer for about 10 minutes, then rinse well.
* To clean the coffee maker: Pour straight vinegar into it as if you are making the coffee, no filter is needed. Turn the coffee maker on as if you were making a pot of coffee. Repeat this with a new batch of vinegar until it runs clear of calcium deposits.
Cleaning is a matter of preparation, determination and time management. As you can see, all your kitchen needs now is a light once-over, and you are ready for the marathon of cooking and baking to begin.

Ahh! Hubby just tossed an old teapot (pretty stainless steel thing, sigh) because he thought that the hard water staining on the bottom was peeled off "paint". ;o) I'm so glad to be able to tell him of its solution now. Thanks, Karla!
P.S. I have another good one: in a small glass bowl, put a tbsp of vanilla extract mixed with about a 1/4 cup of warm water. Let it go in the microwave for a minute to help microwave stains remove easier…plus it makes the kitchen smell yummy!
I'm glad to see cleaning the coffee maker regularly on this because it is essential. Not only do you clean the machine you get better tasting coffee and it brews faster.
Awesome! I've been trying to figure out how to clean my coffee pot for weeks now, and now my kitchen sink will shine again!!
i never knew toothpaste could be used to remove skid stains
