Freezer Gloves

If you need help with your kitchen dirty all beautiful and shiny again, ten ideas for a kitchen spring cleaning Story ...

1. Kitchen Cabinet

Give your kitchen cabinets a source of disorder in their empty, wipe clean and discard all the food stores that are past their best. Although vinegar is good for a few years, dried herbs and ground spices lose their flavor strength after 6 months to replace those that are updated. I always keep a couple of grass and empty glass bottles of spices for salad dressing mix - add the ingredients, put on lid and shake vigorously several times to emulsify.

2. herb garden

Spring is the best time to get your garden in shape. Although I remain resistant herbs like rosemary and sage in clay pots on my deck all year, I buy milder herbs like basil and cilantro in the spring and keep them within my kitchen window. For best results buy from a garden center or farmers' market, because they tend to live longer than herbal supermarket.

3. Microwave

For sticky your microwave, cut a lemon in half and squeeze both halves into a Pyrex bowl half full of hot water. Pop in the microwave on high for about five minutes - the steam will remove dirt from the inside to make it really easy to clean, and it appears will smell fresh too.

4. Freezer

When I'm planning to defrost my freezer I make sure to do just before a weekly workshop, when I can fit most frozen foods in the refrigerator, wrapped in newspaper. All this does not fit in my large freezer bag goes with a couple of ice bricks. Once emptied the freezer is off and the corner of the door open, with some old towels on the floor to absorb the water flowing. After a few hours, you can usually remove the pieces of ice over with your hands to help or use a plastic spatula, but do not be tempted to use a knife or sharp object.

5. Fridge

For a cool spring refrigerator, shelves and compartments to lose and give everything a good clean with hot soapy water, making sure everything is completely dry before placing food in the refrigerator. To avoid nasty NIFF, keep an open bath of baking soda in the back of one of the shelves. Remember to remove your refrigerator and freezer once a year to dust off the heater in the back - it will make it more efficient will save you money!

6. kitchen sink and plug hole

A thick paste of baking soda and a little water brings brightness to a kitchen sink stainless steel delicious. Bicarb is also good for cleaning and deodorizing a jack slow draining. For four or five tablespoons of powder in the sink, then add the same amount of white vinegar and put the plug in. Wait several minutes for it to fizz away and then run the faucets to flush through. If it still runs slowly I use a good old fashioned sink plunger.

7. Oven

My best advice for cleaning your oven is to obtain a self-cleaning, so you do not! But if you're not lucky enough to own one of those miracles of modern life, make sure to wear old clothes and rubber gloves, tie your hair back if it is long and open the window. Remove the shelves and put them in the sink to soak, then use a strong spray oven cleaner inside the oven. Allow to work away as long as possible before giving the wipe.

8. Washer

To keep your washing machine smelling fresh and first operating condition that you should do maintenance wash "A" from time to time. For this, you run the machine without any clothes in the hottest setting, using a detergent powder (rather than a liquid) that has bleach in it. After.
