This method works wonders for cleaning not only burnt pans but also for removing stubborn grease from stoves and dishes.
Other Quick and Efficient Cleaning Tricks
Ammonia for Long-lasting Window Cleaning
Are you tired of constantly cleaning your windows? Try this trick for a longer-lasting clean. Mix one glass of ammonia and one glass of dishwashing liquid in one liter of water. Use a cloth soaked in this solution to wipe and polish your windows. The dishwashing liquid creates a protective layer on the glass, keeping it cleaner for longer.
Sanitizing Alcohol for Fingerprint-free Glass
Fingerprints on glass surfaces are not only unsightly but also hard to remove. To get rid of them effortlessly, wipe the glass with some sanitizing alcohol diluted with water. For a pleasant fragrance, add a few drops of essential oil to the mixture. No need to rinse afterwards!
Potato for Tough Stains
If you have old and stubborn stains, try using a slice of raw potato. Rub the stain with the potato and let it sit for a few minutes until it dries. Then, wipe it off with a solution of sanitizing alcohol and water. The potato’s enzymes combined with the alcohol’s cleaning power will make those stains disappear.
White Vinegar for Limescale
Limescale stains are common on windows near sinks in the kitchen or bathroom. Remove them easily with a mixture of half a liter of white vinegar and one liter of water. Spray the solution on the windows and wipe it off with a lint-free cloth.
