Use Coffee Grounds to Clean? Say What?!

Hate to clean? Yea, I hear ya'. So, here are some quick fixes with items you already have in your house...

Try coffee grounds to keep your refrigerator smelling nice and fresh, just as you do with an open box of baking soda. Place them, new or used, in a bowl and remember to replace them every month or two.

Use ice to cleanse the blades in your garbage disposal and break up the grease that collects on the rotors. Every few weeks, toss in a handful of cubes, turn on the disposal and run cold water. Add some orange, lemon or lime peels to ward off odors.

Get baked-on foods off pots and pans with a dryer sheet. Just place one in a pot, fill with water and let sit overnight, then sponge off the next morning. The antistatic agent weakens the bond between the stuck-on food and the surface of the pan, while the fabric softener works its loosening magic.

Cover the bottom of your trash can with old newspapers. It's an easy way to keep clean and soaks up leaks and odors.

I'll see you all later, I'm off to find some coffee grounds, ice, dryer sheets, and newspapers. Happy cleaning!
