Natural window cleaning tip

Even Spiderman needs a natural cleaning solution.

A friend of mine just sent me this great tip on how to clean windows and mirrors naturally.

While in line at the grocery, I let a lady go ahead of me, because I had
many items and she had only about 20 boxes of Corn Starch....I asked her
what she was going to do with all that corn starch. She said she was a
professional window cleaner and it was the best thing she'd ever found to
make the windows sparkle.

Here's how: Just dilute a little bit in a bucket and make a solution. Take a
clean terry cloth and dip into solution, wipe over mirror or window. Then
take a clean/dry terry cloth and wipe excess. Turn cloth to dry side and
polish off.....you'll see it sparkle and never buy that blue or green stuff
again. Or use smelly vinegar!!!

P.S. I just put a few Tablespoons of cornstarch in a qt. spray bottle and
fill 1/2 full with water. You can't store this solution for any length of
time because it will start to smell. Just mix a small amount to use up each
time you want to clean windows, mirrors, etc.

I can't wait to try this. Let me know if it works for you!

How to clean your toaster oven glass door

Do you have a toaster oven glass door that is splattered with the yuckiest, burnt on grease and gunk? Have you tried all forms of commercial cleaning products that promised to "cut through grease" to no avail? I have.

Then I read that baking soda would magically clean up this impossible mess. I didn't believe it. I'm always up for anything that is So, I tried it myself. Oh my - it worked!

Here are the steps:

1. Unplug your toaster oven.
2. Cover the area in front of the toaster oven with paper towels.
   
3. Open the door and wipe off all the crumbs.
4. Make a thick paste of baking soda and water.
5. Cover the open oven door with the paste.
6. Spray or dribble on tiny bits of water if paste is too thick.
7. Leave on for at least 20 minutes. More if your yuck is super-yuck.
8. Scrub with a non-abrasive scrubber.
9. Wipe off residual with damp paper towel.
10. Repeat if necessary.
11. Ensure everything is totally dry before replugging in the toaster oven.
12. Admire your handiwork.
