Dirty Talk

fromoz, baked on stubborn carbon can be removed in this way : a cup of clear amonia and a plastic garbage bag. Place the soiled items in the plastic bag with the amonia and twist tightly to close. You must check periodically for left too long the amonia can discolor the metal....what doesn't melt off should be softened enough to scrub off easily....warning: for metal only!!!!! Use plenty of ventilation!!!!!!!

louise....if your tub is either ceramic/porcelain or fiberglass type, try dilute white vinegar, spray on and let sit for a while, then soap using either a grease cutting dish washing detergent or a shampoo for oily hair without built in conditioner. Rinse well. For stubborn rings,a paste of water and baking soda or those new erasure cleaning pads ( Mr. Clean) and some elbow grease should do it. Let me know how it goes.....Sparky

To shine stainless steel sinks generously sprinkle either table salt or baking soda into the sink then use the cut end of half a fresh lemon as a scrubby-pad. Rinse with hot water and the sink will gleam

In a hurry? Make a pad out of paper towels (bathroom t.p. if you're in a real fix like unexpected company) and moisten with isoprophyl alcohol-a quick swipe will clean without streaks mirrors, tile,metal fixtures, & porcelain and the room wll smell like you've freshly scrubed it

A fabric softener dryer sheet in a dresser drawer will keep clothing stored inside sweet smelling ( and so nice to open up too)

Don't toss used lemons in the trash-if you have a disposal in your sink toss the lemons in and give it a 'whirl'....the disposal will be sweet and fresh smelling
