Kitchen Care

Little tricks can make keeping up with the kitchen so much easier. Let’s take a look at a few of them.

Give your product time to work: If you have food that has burned onto the stove, spray on some Bi-O-Kleen and just let it set 4 or 5 minutes while you clear the dishes. Then go back and wipe it off. You’ll be amazed how much easier it is to clean these stubborn spots. You’ll be amazed how much easier everything cleans when you just give your product time to work.

Disposal blues: To rid the disposal of lingering odors, dampen a round toilet bowl brush then sprinkle some baking soda on it. Scrub the inside of the disposal to freshen the disposal. Now pour a cup of Bac Out into both kitchen drains. The enzymes in Bac Out “eat” away at any food particles removing the offending odors from the drains. It will keep your entire drain clear except for tree roots.
Bac Out keeps all your drains clear so pour one half cup of it down each drain every month to help prevent clogs. Its enzymes are healthy for municipal systems, septic systems and holding tanks.

Bac Out also eliminates stains and odors in carpet like urine and fecal matter or where the cat got sick. It breaks down food to remove those stains and odors as well.

Grout Stains: Stains in tile grout without a doubt are the toughest area in the kitchen to clean. Grout is porous so liquid cleaners seep right through making it difficult to remove the stain. You will love how quickly and easily our Stain Eraser works to remove those stains. It will not take the color out of colored grout like most liquid cleaners.

Refrigerator coils: Keep the motor of your refrigerator humming along by cleaning the coils at least twice yearly. A curved brush made for cleaning drains does an excellent job cleaning around the bends of the coils - do be careful not to puncture them.

Kitchen cabinets must be deep cleaned and conditioned twice a year to prevent cooking oils from penetrating the wood, which will dry and crack the wood. Our one step Wood Cleaner and Conditioner will keep them in top shape if used regularly.

Clean dishes quick: How often have you wished for a dish soap that was kind to your hands yet tough on grease. Now there is just such a product. Not only does our biodegradable Liquid Dish Soap contain Vitamin E and Aloe Vera so your hands stay soft but it is earth friendly and biodegradable as well. It is gentle enough to wash your car.

Yet you will never find a more concentrated liquid cleaner that is any tougher on grease than our Liquid Dish Soap

A little bit goes a long way. Not only does Mother Earth breathe a sigh of relief but your billfold does as well.

Microwave: Oh, the number of times you heated leftovers in the microwave only to have the food splattered everywhere and the food dry out and be tough. Put the food on a regular dinner plate - never use plastic of any kind in the microwave. Then place a second plate over the top. When you heat the food, steam forms inside the plates keeping the food moist and yummy. The top plate prevents food from splattering and hours spent cleaning the microwave.

To clean splattered food, heat a cup of water for 3 to 4 minutes on high. The steam loosens the food and it wipes right out. Make that a 50/50 solution of water to white vinegar to rid the microwave of any odors.

Countertops: When the dishes are cleared after the evening meal, grab a towel and the bottle of Bi-O-Kleen and clean one counter top or perhaps the stove or a refrigerator shelf a night. Wipe counter tops with a clean rag. Dish rags contain dirt and grease that leave smears on counter tops. By the end of the week your kitchen sparkles and you have only spent an extra two or three minutes a night.

Many stains on counter tops can be removed with whitening toothpaste. This is safe for Corian, marble or granite. Corian can also be rubbed gently with our white scrub pad to remove stubborn stains. A paste made from baking soda and hydrogen peroxide also does a good job removing stains

Cooking Odors: I can smell it from down the street. If linger cooking odors don’t tickle your fancy, simmer a pan of water for five or six minutes adding a cup of white vinegar to the pan.

Place a 50/50 solution of white vinegar to water in a coffee cup in the microwave. Cook on high for 3 to 4 minutes. If that fails to deter those stubborn odors, place a charcoal briquette on a paper towel and leave in the microwave. Charcoal is far better at removing odors than baking soda.

Stove Hood: If the grease under the hood of your stove has gotten to the point of no return, spray on some foaming tub and tile cleaner. Cover your stove top to keep it protected. When it starts to drip, wipe with a clean but old rag.

Black stoves and refrigerators: Be sure to use a very clean cloth when working on these appliances. The grease and dirt on your cloth will cause them to smear. Our brand new and exclusive stain remover called Ion-A-Clean removes the smears and smudges left by other cleaners. Spray it on then let it set several minutes. The negatively charged ions in the water lift and separate the grease from the surface. Use one of our Swifter towels to wipe.

Caution: Do not use paper towels to clean these surfaces. Paper of course is made from trees that towel could contain slivers of pulp that will scratch the surface. Our Swifter towels will never scratch and they can be machine washed over and over. Air dry.

Fine China: Rinse fine china in a sink of water adding one half cup of borax then a second rinse in plain water. It shines your china for those special dinners.

Stuck? Try our brand new handy Scraper. The easy to hold handle gives you just the right leverage to scrape off even the worst residue. It woks wonders removing all kids of stuck on things like labels from glass.

Answers to your questions:

1. I was told not to use vinegar on my marble and tile floors. Is this right and if not what do I use?
   You are wise to ask questions first rather than taking the chance of ruining the sealant. Vinegar deteriorates the sealants on either floor. Only use warm water for tile or marble flooring. A heavier weight towel, like a bathroom hand towel, does a better job scrubbing tile. Always dry marble floors to prevent water spots. That is why you will love the Mary Moppins Cleaning System Best Home Mop. You can mop and dry an entire floor in under 10 minutes.
2. Whenever I burn anything my neighbors tell me they can smell it from down the street. What can I do to remove those odors?
   If linger cooking odors don’t tickle your fancy, simmer a pan of water for five or six minutes adding a cup of white vinegar to the pan.

   Place a 50/50 solution of white vinegar to water in a coffee cup in the microwave to remove microwave odors. Cook on high for 3 to 4 minutes. If that fails to deter those stubborn odors, place a charcoal briquette on a paper towel and leave in the microwave. Charcoal is far better at removing odors than baking soda. Our Bac-Out permanently gets rid of odors. Simply spray the room and the odor will not linger around. Bac-Out is made from naturally occurring enzymes that “eat” the bacteria that causes the odors anywhere they linger.

3. My linoleum floor has deep grooves in the surface and nothing short of sand blasting removes the dirt. What can I do?
   Use a clean towel dampened in a gallon of water adding a tablespoon of
   Bio-O-Kleen. Go over the floor a section at a time with the towel fairly wet, not dripping but wet placed over the head of our Best Home Mop. Let that set on the floor for a few minutes then mop with a fairly dry towel. Bio-O-Kleen contains not phosphorous or harsh chemicals to deteriorate your floor. It does not need to be rinsed.
4. My back bothers me. Leaning over standard handles is painful. What can I do?
   I’ve tried so many mops and the pressure needed to clean with them hurts my back. Imagine cleaning a floor with no pain at all to your back, neck or shoulders! Mop your floors free of pain using our Best Home Mop with extension handle. Our handle extends to 7 feet and adjusts to your height solving those back problems. Tall folks too, just love it. Very little pressure is needed to clean your floor. Let the mop do your work and not your back.
