Old Time Cleaning Remedies
Tired of using the same old cleaners around the house? Well here are a few house hold cleaning tips from the old days.
Pots & Pans:
To clean burnt and scorched pans, sprinkle liberally with baking soda, adding just enough water to moisten. Let stand for several hours. You can generally lift the burned portions right out of the pans. On non-stick cookware, stubborn stains can be removed by boiling 2 tablespoons of baking soda, 1/2 cup vinegar, and 1 cup of water for ten minutes. Before using, season pan with salad oil.

Rub on Worcestershire sauce or Ketchup, and tarnish will disappear. Or dip lemon halves in salt and rub.
