  after a long winter. If you want to really make
  this years spring cleaning count, here are seven
  cleaning tips you need to try

• After a while, your sponge start to spread around
  more germs than it absorbs. Instead of spending
  money on a whole new pack of sponges youll just
  have to throw out, you can disinfect the ones you
  already use in the microwave. Just squeeze them
  out and nuke them on high for one minute. Theyll
  be ready to get right back to work.

• Want to give your stovetop a nice shine that
  shows off how much work you put into cleaning it?
  After youve scrubbed it clean, apply a thin
  layer of car wax, and then buff with a towel. Not
  only will it give the stove a nice, clean shine,
  it will make wiping it off in the future easy and
  smooth.

• Is your garbage disposal starting to smell funky?
  Dont worry making the smell go away is easy!
  Just drop a cut up lemon, a bit of salt, and a
  few ice cubes into the garbage disposal and grind
  them up. The combination will absorb the nasty
  stench and take it off down the drain.

Having trouble getting that oily buildup off the
stove? Turns out you can solve the problem by
adding more oil. Put a few drops of mineral or
vegetable oil on a paper towel, and then use it
to scrub away the gunk stuck to the stove. After
that, wipe everything away with an all-purpose
cleaner.

Looking for a cleaner strong enough to cut
through the most stubborn toilet grime? Look no
further than the soda aisle. Coke (or Pepsi) is
corrosive enough that you can use it to give your
toilet an incredibly thorough cleaning.

towel and glass cleaner, heres a trick you can
try rub dryer sheets on the windows to clean
away buildup. The sheets are soft enough not to
damage the glass, but their surface is perfect
for catching grime and dirt.

works just as well for polishing furniture
