This week’s Keepin’ it clean comes from the great Andrea from MommyConfessionsBlog.com!

magic eraser!

You ever have that nasty stuff baked onto you casserole dishes or baking pans?

You scrub and soak but it never comes off. Well I have a little secret to getting it off.

SHH! it is a secret…(OK not really)

Take your handy little magic eraser to it and it will come right off.

No elbow grease is required.
You can also use it to clean the top of your stove. Comes out all shiny and pretty.

Debacle solved.

Cut yours in half to save big money.

Here’s my recipe for a quick prep and easy crock pot roast. Trust me, if I can do this, so can you. And it’s mouth-watering yummy. Perfect for those days when you just don’t want to cook, but you want people to think you’ve been slaving over the stove all day. You’re welcome.

Ingredients:

1 can of low-sodium beef broth

1 can of cream of celery soup …Continue Reading…

Something that I never thought of, when cleaning was keeping it simple.

And simple means- use only ONE cleaner.

Most all-purpose bathroom cleaners do the same thing as those “one use” products do.

So throw out all the extra, and keep one multi-purpose cleaner under the sink (along with a roll of paper towels) in each bathroom for a quick cleanup.

If you have kids that are old enough- let them do the weekly wipe down!

Okay, so if you’re in my house, you’d notice that we drink a lot of tea, and whole lot of coffee.

One thing that used to plague us were those nasty coffee/tea stains on our white ceramic mugs.

How do you get rid of it?

EASY!

Just gently rub your mugs (hey now, your coffee and tea mugs- pfft!) with a wet cloth dipped in dry baking soda- or you can dip it in a salt and water paste.

Both work just as well as the other!

First thing’s first:

DO NOT SCRUB YOUR GROUT!

Why?

You’re doing more damage to your grout, than you are cleaning it.

The best way to get your grout clean is by using a mild bleach solution (1 tablespoon per gallon)- or making it even easier with a bleach pen. I use the Clorox Bleach Pen.

So next time, skip the elbow grease, and bleach the grout!
