Martindale Cleaning's Helpful Hints

Mineral Deposits on Shower Heads
Fill a plastic sandwich bag with undiluted white vinegar and tie it around the shower head. Leave this on overnight. The next day, remove and scrub with a brush.

Drain Cleaner
Once a month, pour a handful of baking soda into the drain and add 1/2 cup of white vinegar. You will see it start to bubble like a small volcano. Cover the drain and wait 30 minutes. Flush with cold water.

Spill Burning in Oven
If you are baking something and it spills over, immediately sprinkle a heavy layer of salt on the spill and continue baking. The next day you can lift the spill off with a teflon pancake turner.

To clean heavily discolored brass items – great for outside door furniture Cut a lemon in half – pour a good quantity of table salt on the exposed lemon surface. Use the lemon as a ‘cleaning pad’ on the brass item. Add more salt if you need to as you go along. Wash off with warm soap and water. Doesn't seem to do any harm to surrounding paint work or wood and doesn't leave white stains like commercial brass polish products.

Burnt Pan
To remove burnt on food from a saucepan just boil a cup of cola for a minute or two and it will remove the burnt on food. For very stubborn areas, repeat the process.
