  • My oven was already in need of a cleaning and then I dumped some vanilla all over the bottom {If you place a tbsp of vanilla in the oven for 20 minutes it makes the kitchen smell wonderful - just don't spill it!} 2
  • Make a paste of baking soda and water and spread it over the entire oven.  Let sit for an hour to overnight.  Then wipe it clean.  {You can also spray some vinegar over it once it has dried for some extra cleaning power} 2
  • And then you have a nice clean oven! 3

  • Open the door during the "Add a Garment" part of the cycle
  • There should be no suds. During a regular wash there should be little to no suds. HE soap is low sudsing.

How to Tell if You're Using Too Much Laundry Detergent

When it comes to laundry soap, more does not equal better. In fact, using too much detergent can damage your machine. ...»

To check:

*Run a cycle with no soap

*Allow washer to fill and agitate

*Open washer door and check for suds

If there are lots of suds, you're using too much soap. Add some 1 C vinegar to the drum and finish the cycle. Repeat as needed.

Spring Cleaning Linen Closet Makeover

Hi there! I decided to redo my linen closet one day and make it pretty. I purged, cleaned and organized then I painted the entire inside a fun pink (the only place in the house I could ...»
get away with that) I added baskets to catch all the loose shampoos and such and coral the clutter. I only used what I had on hand. Stray baskets and shelf liner left over from the kitchen etc... I did not spend a penny but even if you had to purchase a few things, I did not use anything that would be very expensive to pick up. #springcleaning #linencloset #closet #organize - I added a cost of $35 for a quart of paint, Dollar Tree shelf liner, a few baskets and misc burlap and ribbon if you had nothing to start with.
