On a related Costco note I find their Kirkland wipes are absolutely fantastic for wiping various surfaces, much better than the standard stuff you find in the supermarkets. Even when the wipes run out I use standard kitchen roll dipped in the remaining liquid and carry on using. Amazing stuff!

Get rid of soy sauce stain: Put a cloth underneath the stain and tap the spot with a cotton ball soaked in sugar water.

Cleaning stainless steel sinks: To shine stainless steel sinks or appliances, rub a small amount of flour on it, then rinse. Rub with a dry cloth to make it shine.
I'm going to try this on my bin tomorrow. Thanks for all your tips.

Eliminating mist from your windscreen: To prevent your windscreen from mist, simply rub it with some dry soap or some 90% alcohol. So much for this winter inconvenience!

Removing chewing gum from clothes: Use an ice cube, rub it on the other side of the fabric on which the chewing gum is unfortunately glued. Once the gum is frozen, it will drop off from the fabric.

Squeezing 100% fruit juice: To be able to collect all a fruit’s juice, just pierce the fruit’s skin and subsequently put it in the microwave oven for 10 seconds, max power. You can then squeeze the fruit, you’ll get 100% of its juice!

Last one for today

Clean baked-on food off of your microwave: To clean baked-on food off of your microwave, wet a dishcloth and place it in the microwave for 2 minutes on high. The food will wipe right off and it disinfects the washcloth, too! For really stuck on food, squeeze lemon juice or spray kitchen cleaner on the cloth first.

Hope these help, more tips coming soon :)
