#9 ~ How to Clean the Dishwasher

This is a really old post but it’s still just as popular because we use our dishwashers so often, and they need to be cleaned too! Cleaning the dishwasher is probably one of the easiest things to do because the vinegar does most of the work for you!

How to Clean Between Oven Glass!

I love this post, and had been asked this question many times before I finally took the time to write a post about it. I’ll have you know that just like most of our home projects that turn out fabulous, my husband takes credit for this post. He says it was his idea and therefore takes all the credit. I don’t remember it that way but regardless, I know this post has helped so many of you clean those pesky drips out from between your oven glass, without taking the door apart.

    Thank you so much for posting these! I’d read most of them, but I hadn’t seen them all, so I’m happy to have this re-cap!

    A very happy new year to you and your family! (Quick question: how can I contact you? The email link on your site won’t work for me. Has your email address changed?)

    how do you clean the ice and water paddles on refrigerators. I think they are made of plastic…i have tried bleach, vinegar, baking soda, comet. Nothing seems to work.. one website said to paint them. They are yellowed and splotchy. Thanks!

      Great question Rhonda! I have added this to my “to write about” list but in the meantime I can tell you that what I’ve done in the past is use this tip: https://askannamoseley.com/2011/03/reader-question-getting-rid-of-tough-water-build-up/. I use a baggie and a rubber band to keep the vinegar around the paddle and it works great! 🙂
