Dallas, TX – Removing most stains that have set on many surfaces can often include a lot of scrubbing. There are some tricks you can use to make cleaning these problem stains a lot easier and make the job go quicker. Most of these suggestions are easy to do and will actually cost you less money than some of the commercial cleaners, and save you from some of the more toxic solutions as well.

Trying to get rid of baked on stains in a pot or pan can take a lot of hard work and may still leave a stain behind. A good trick to help with removing these types of stains is to mix a solution of liquid soap, water and a tablespoon of baking soda into the pot or pan and put it back on the stove on low heat. Gently stir the solution in the pot or pan with a wooden or ceramic spatula and try to gently work the stain loose. This will do the trick in no time and is a great way to clean up a stain like this. Next time you notice a stain, leave the pot on the stove and add the solution right to it and let it start to cook as you are eating your meal. When you are finished eating you can return to the pot and in most cases the satin will be gone.

Scrubbing windows is a chore that most people dread and using a window cleaner and paper towels can be expensive and leave the window streaked and full of lint. A great alternative is to spray the window with a mixture of 1 part water and 1 part vinegar and then wipe it up with a newspaper in a circular motion. This will leave the windows clean and streak-free. This is also a great way to remove bug and bird droppings from a window and this solution will cut through both of them with very little effort.

Another great tip for cutting down on your scrubbing is to use a natural combination in the kitchen to help you cut through grease and stains. Lemon juice is a great grease cutter and baking soda can be used like powdered cleaners and is much gentler. Take a lemon and slice it in half and sprinkle a little baking soda on it. You can then use this as a scrubbing sponge directly on stains and grease. Try scrubbing in a circular motion and you’ll find the stains disappearing almost instantly. The other nice things is that this trick will leave the appliance or counter smelling nice instead of that overwhelming chemical smell you normally end up with.

One final scrubbing aid is a standard scented dryer sheet. Even though these are designed to be used in your dryer to freshen your clothes, they can be used elsewhere as a handy cleaner. You can use one to dust your blinds and it will act like a magnet for lint and dust that accumulates there. It will also leave the room smelling fresh as well. You can also use one on your television screen. It is designed to be anti-static and wiping your screen with one will reduce the static found there and collect any surface dust as well.
