Green Cleaning Tips

Here are some green cleaning tips for oven cleaning or removing stickers and stains.

Alternative to Strong Oven Cleaners:

• Warm water, vinegar, and baking soda can be applied to the inside of the oven. Let it stand over night, then wipe it clean in the morning.
• Peanut butter can be helpful for removing stubborn stains or stickers. If you have a stain such as shoe-polish, etc., on a vinyl, tile or wood floor, or a sticker on a dish or window, smear a bit of peanut-butter on the affected area. Leave it to sit for a bit to allow the oils in the peanut-butter to soak in. You should then be able to remove the stain or sticker with a gentle cleaner.
• Rubbing alcohol and a stiff cleaning pad can be used to clean difficult grease marks from appliances, counters or tiles.
• Applying ice can be useful for removing chewing gum from carpet etc.
