This ‘n That – Here ‘n There: Time-Saving Tips

In the Kitchen

*  Storing your cookware and utensils in a cabinet or drawer right next to the cooktop or range as opposed to across the room is a timesaver when cooking.

*  If you don’t have room in a drawer for all of your cooking utensils (think “less clutter – easier cleaning”), one attractive container next to the cooktop filled with just your favorite go-to utensils is a timesaver when cooking and a good compromise on clutter.

*  Cleaning cooktop spills and spatter right away is much quicker than tackling a dried mess days later. A quick wipe with Speed Cleaning’s all-natural Red Juice or Stainless Steel Cleaner & Polish will do the trick. (Did you know that our Stainless Steel Cleaner & Polish can be used on just about any hard surface to clean, shine, and protect against fingerprints and dirt?)

Bathroom

*  Store a roll of paper towels, an extra spray bottle of Red Juice, a Speed Eraser, and a plastic grocery bag for emptying the wastebasket under each sink for quick clean-ups. As the name suggests, the Speed Eraser can erase most dirt and grime all by itself – no cleanser needed. Just remember, if you have young children in the home or frequently visiting, store solutions out of reach.

Laundry Room

*  Many people keep their sewing supplies in the laundry room. Here’s a time-saving item to store with that sewing box to keep track of all the extra buttons that come attached to many of the new clothes we buy: staple the little packet or envelope containing the button to a page in a binder. Write what clothing item that button goes with underneath. If you’ve got quite a collection, you can add dividers for shirts, slacks, shorts, etc.

*  Keep your cleaning supplies tucked away in a cabinet, all neatly organized in a bin or handled tote tray. Restock your tray with clean Premium Cotton Cleaning Cloths right from the dryer.

*  Have everyone in your household use two laundry baskets, one for lights and one for darks, so that the task of sorting is somewhat done ahead of time.
