Directions:
Proper cleaning of stainless steel sink
After washing the dishes, one thing you might be doing is wiping them with a sponge and some dish soap. However, as it dries the sink will develop crust and gunk over time. What you need to do is pour a generous amount of baking soda all over the sink, then use a soft sponge, and scrub it in circular motions. Once done scrubbing, rinse it with clean water, then wipe it dry, and your sink will be sparkling clean.

How to clean a crusty pan easily
Put some water on the pan, then place a dryer sheet, and leave for about half an hour. After 30 minutes, pour out the water, then remove the dryer sheet, and simply wipe the gunk and grease away. Now, you can wash it as usual without difficulty.
How to clean cast-iron pans and wooden cutting boards
Sprinkle a generous lot of sea salt all over the pan, then use either half a lemon or potato to run the bottom and sides of the pan, and rinse it well. Pat the pan dry, then let it air dry, and apple some vegetable oil. Coat the inside of the pan nicely with a paper towel, then put the pan inside the oven upside down, and let it cook for about an hour at 350 degrees. Make sure to put an aluminum foil under the pan to catch any oil that falls.
For wooden cutting boards, do the same process by sprinkling a generous amount of sea salt all over the board, then rub it well with half a lemon or potato, and rinse it well with clean water. Wipe the cutting board dry, then let it air dry, and you’re all done.
The proper way of stacking dishes in the dishwasher
Instead of putting the dishes in the dishwasher the same way, stack them facing toward the center, that way they will all get a lot of cleaning products every time you wash them.
Easy way to clean your dishwasher
To clean and desalinate your dishwasher, pour 2 cups of white vinegar or a measuring cup, then place it in the dishwasher, and put it in a normal cycle. It will slowly mix in with the water of the dishwasher and effectively clean and desalinate it. However, keep in mind that this method will make your house smell like vinegar for a day or two.
