How to Clean in Your Sleep
Some quick tips from author Kathy Peel.
- To clean residue from the bottom of a vase or thermos, fill with water and drop-in an Alka-Seltzer tablet. Rinse out the next morning.
- Give your toilet and overnight soaking of white vinegar each work. By morning it will be completely disinfected. Flush clean.
- To clean out clogged drains, pour 1/2 cup each of baking soda and salt down the drain. Follow with cup of boiling water and let sit overnight. Rinse the next morning with hot water.
- Clean a grease-caked broiler pan or burner tray by putting in a plastic bag with a cup of ammonia. Seal bag and let sit outside overnight. Wash with soap and water.
