Does your stove top resemble impressionistic art, with all its drips and crusty stuff? Could your refrigerator use some deodorizing?? I have some simple tricks for you to try.

Try using club soda on a sponge to clean your stove top. Clean up any spills on your stove top more easily by sprinkling salt on it first. It has an abrasive quality, but will not scratch your surface. You can also use a mixture of salt and cinnamon to soak up a liquid spill. Leave for 5 minutes, then wipe it away.

Deodorize the inside of your refrigerator by leaving a cotton ball soaked in vanilla extract on a saucer in the refrigerator overnight. Prevent mildew buildup on your refrigerator seals by wiping them with a sponge dampened in vinegar. Fill a small bowl with instant coffee crystals and place it on the back of a refrigerator shelf to control odor.
