Get a Grip

Occasionally, you’ll need to rest your broom or mop against a wall.

Now brooms and mops stay put where you put them.

Self-Cleaning Microwave

Before you spend time and elbow grease trying to remove tough baked-on food splatters inside your microwave, try this tip and let your oven do the work for you. After wiping away any loose crumbs with a paper towel, heat a microwave-safe bowl filled with 2–3 cups of water and the juice of one lemon (or 2–3 tablespoons of pre-squeezed lemon juice) on high for as long as it takes the water to come to a boil—somewhere between 1 and 5 minutes. Let the bowl cool for 10 minutes before carefully removing it. Then just wipe away the loosened food stains with a paper towel. (right at home.com)
