  • Our glass shower door remained clean on the right and the left side (although not real apparent in this photo) had soap scum film.

  • So easy to do this!  You don't even need elbow grease! http://www.thevspotblog.com/2011/07/cleaning-stove-burners-grates-best.html
  • Ick!  (I cook a lot... don't you judge me.)  ;)
  • Take the disgusting, yucky burner and seal it up in a big Ziploc-type bag with about 1/4 cup of ammonia and let it sit overnight.
  • The same burner, 12 hours and no scrubbing later.  Ammonia fumes have worked their magic. It's the fumes that dissolve the grease, not the ammonia itself.

An easy spring cleaning tip for one of the worst jobs in the house!

My stove burners get absolutely disgusting. Sealing them up with a tiny bit of pure ammonia makes it possible to just wipe clean with a sponge. #SpringCleaning http://www.thevspotblog.com/2011/07/cleaning...

Kitchen overhaul

Thought I'd share photos of our kitchen remodel. It was just completed yesterday.......a 1968 kitchen brought into the 21st century.

  • how do i get the bushes to fill in around the bottom?

Gardening: Pruning Hydrangeas and Encouraging growth around the bottom of my Shrubbery.

1. My Hydrangea is getting it's leaves for the spring. I noticed there are a lot of twigs / branches that don't have leaves yet. Am I supposed to trim back some of these at some point? If ...»
so when and how do I know which ones?

2. May shrubbery looks a little sparse around the bottom - how do i encourage it to fill in?

3. Once everything has finished blooming i'm going to trim it back. I know right now they're much too high and blocking the front of the house / part of the windows. Would you advise trimming back more than 1/3? Would it damage the shrubs?

many thanks!
