A stinky garbage disposal is one of the worst smells. Try lemon ice cubes, one of our favorite kitchen sink cleaners.
Forget auto-clean. This high-temp oven setting can set off the fire alarm and stink up your kitchen. Instead, mix 1/3 cup water, 1/3 cup white vinegar, and 1/2 cup baking soda in a spray bottle.
Powder detergent goes beyond laundry. Soak oven racks in a powder washing detergent-filled bathtub to restore their luster without scrubbing or scratching.
Want natural cleaners instead of commercial ones? This DIY wood polish shines and smells great. Mix 1 part lemon oil and 1 part white vinegar in a spray bottle.
Another kitchen cabinet cleaning tip: vacuum cabinets. Instead of using a cloth, use the vacuum brush attachment to quickly pick up crumbs.
The grease magnet on your range hood makes it tougher to clean with sprays as dust builds up. Cleaning the stove with vegetable oil is a great tip.
Hard water deposits can accumulate in dishwashers. Tang may be needed if your dishwasher no longer cleans dishes well.
Stove hood vent filters quickly get oily, filthy, and nasty. For cleaning, boil water in a large pot and slowly add 1/2 cup baking soda. Put the filter in the pot to soak.
Food waste can get stuck on the underside of your sink's garbage disposal guard without you even realizing it's there.
