How to get rid of grease and grime inside your oven...
Make a paste of one-cup vinegar and 1/4 cup powdered laundry detergent.
Heat your oven for 5-minutes at 350 degrees and turn off.
Spread the paste around the oven, applying it more heavily to very greasy areas. Leave paste on for an hour, and then use a plastic spatula to gently scrape the dirt away.
To prevent greasy buildup in the first place, dip a sponge in full-strength vinegar and wipe down all sides of the oven
Unpleasant Odors...
To stop unpleasant cooking odors from permeating throughout the entire house, boil a cup or two of vinegar in a pot in the stove. The vinegar will absorb the odors.
When cooking cabbage, add a few drops of vinegar to prevent the unpleasant odors in the first place.
Accidentally burnt the pot roast? Soak a towel in vinegar, wring it out, and wave it around the room. No one will know what you did to his or her dinner.
Prefer using the microwave? Boil 1/4 cup of vinegar in a bowl of water to keep it grease free and smelling as fresh as the day you bought it.
Small Appliances...
Get rid of the sludge in your automatic drip coffee maker by running full-strength vinegar through a normal brew cycle. Rinse by running plain water through the cycle two or three times.
Remove the lime coating on your teakettle by filling it with water and adding a half-cup of vinegar. Let it stand overnight, then rinse with clean water and dry
