Another tip for the drains, its all natural and not toxic is to fill the drain with baking soda, add vinegar, let bubble for awhile then rinse with very hot water.

Something that I have found to remove smoke film, shine the sink, clean mirrors & windows better than Windex is alcohol. Plain Isopropyl Alcohol, found in the pharmacy section, with the bandaids & peroxide. I keep a spray bottle of it around for quick clean ups.

A good smoke remover is TSP. Mix according for packet directions. It’s suggested for pretreating walls prior to painting.

A quick easy way to clean your microwave I have found…put equal amounts of water and lemon juice in a microwave safe dish and microwave it for 3-4 minutes. After it is finished leave it set in the microwave and “sweat” Dry it out with paper towels.

For the toaster problem, make sure you are opening the bottom catcher thing on it and wiping it out. Then if it is still a problem, put a piece of waxed paper under it.

For removing cig smoke, I like the Amway See Spray in the aerosol can. I used it on my computer monitor once and the yellow nicotine stuff just wiped right off. I then tried it on walls, etc and the same affect happened. Since the Amway stuff is becoming harder for me to get a hold of, I have been using the Windex in the can and it also works, not quite as well, but it works. I am guessing it is the ammonia in it that makes it work.

An idea for cleaning smoke and that slime that accumulates on high shelves, top of the fridge, etc is to use a small amount of automatic dishwashing powder in a sink. Use this on either a cloth or wash your ‘knick knacks’ in this water. The slime just falls off! Only one warning. Use rubber gloves! You could go without, but your hands will be so dried out it will take a couple of weeks to recover.

Do you have any good ideas about toasters? Everytime I move mine, I have crumbs everywhere. I try to clean it once a week, but it never seems to get really clean.
