Cleaning Tips

CAST IRON CLEANING - To gently and effectively clean your cast iron skillets after use, wipe out excess food with a dry paper towel, then sprinkle salt inside the pan. Wipe clean with a clean, dry peper towel. The salt acts as an abrasive to scratch off any stuck-on particles of food without using soap and water, which can remove your seasoning.

BLENDER CLEANING - If you want your blender to be spotless clean, let the blender do the work for you. Pour a small amount of dishwashing liquid into the blender container. Fill halfway with water and blend on high. Rinse well and your blender is ready for a new batch.

FAUCETS CLEANING - To get rid of water spots on faucets and other stainless steel fictures, grab a used fabric softener sheet and rub off the water spots. Your fixtures will sparkle!
