When I cook food too hot, I usually have baked on food on the bottom of the pot...YIKES! I have never really known of a good way to get it off without having to use a scrub pad or copper scrubby thing. Well...good news...my life have been revolutionized. My mother got me a subscription to "Real Simple" magazine for my Birthday this year. As I was thumbing through it I found a solution to my problem.

If you have a tough baked on mess. Place a dryer sheet in the bottom cover with water and soak overnight. The next morning, the food will completely come off. All you have to do is take a basic sponge and clean with soap...


TA-DAH

This afternoon a girlfriend of mine sent me a recipe for an all-purpose cleaner. I have yet to try it, but oh boy, when I do….I have a feeling its going to be good.

The last direction mentions that it might get a little soapy. I wonder if I could just use less soap. If anyone out there tries this receipe before me, please comment below. I am dying to hear about how it works!

Here’s to good ole’ cleaning!
  
Ingredients

2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
1 teaspoon borax
1 1/2 cups very hot distilled or purified water
1/4 cup castile soap or 1/8 cup liquid dish soap
10-15 drops essential oils

Directions
Mix the vinegar and borax in a 16oz spray bottle.
Fill bottle with the water and shake to dissolve the vinegar and borax.
Add soap LAST and then scent with essential oil.
Use as you would any all-purpose cleaner. This mix can get quite soapy so you might want to have a cloth wet with just water handy to "rinse" with
