Cleaning: KITCHEN/FOOD

Appliances: To keep your stove top clean and shining, use a good car cleaner wax on the painted surface around the stove eyes. Just apply as you would to your automobile. Clean up is a breeze after the heaviest cooking. This can also be used to clean the fronts of most appliances -- except for stainless steel. (Rick Wright, Tennessee)

Baby Bottles: To clean milk residue out of baby bottles, put a tablespoon of raw rice, one drop of dish washing liquid and hot water in the bottle. Fill the bottle up half way with hot water and shake it up for about 2-3 minutes. Of course this is only done after the sterilizing of bottles stage is over. Tavish Graves, LA

Baking Dishes/Pans: To remove burnt-on food from baking dishes/pans, place a dryer sheet in the bottom and fill with hot water. Wait about a 1/2 hour and it should wipe clean. May have to be repeated if really messy. Debbie Horhay, NJ

Burnt Food on Pans: Use baking soda, dish washing powder, and hot water. Then use a scrub brush. Yvette Washington, TX

Burnt Food: Place an unused dryer softener sheet into your cooking vessel that has dried or burnt on food. Add hot water soak overnight....WORKS GREAT!!! Sharon Golconda, Il

To clean pots and pans with burnt-on food, add little water to pot and put on warm burner on stove and after a few minutes scrape off. This also works on cast iron pans-just wipe on oil after has dried. Karen Espey

Clogged Drains: For slow moving drains, such as kitchen sink slowed by grease, pour one bottle of hydrogen peroxide, let sit for 10 or 15 minutes. For real slow drains, you may need to use 2 bottles. Helen Riggan, VA

Coffee Cup: I have found that using a baking soda paste gets rid of coffee,and tea stainless in my coffee cups. Teresa Smith, OH

Coffee Pot: Forgot and left the glass coffee pot on the heating element and now you have burnt coffee in the bottom of your pot? Simple! Just put crushed ice in the pot along with some salt and swish it around. Rebecca Berry Guinn, TN

If you burn your coffee pot let cool off and then add salt and ice water to it. Stir around for a few minutes and as the ice melts the burned coffee will come off. P. France, OH
