Hello Everyone,

Ketchup cleans copper bottomed pots. Stop by the dollar store and pick up some generic ketchup to clean your copper bottomed pots.

Simply smear a layer of the red sauce over the copper and allow it to sit for 30 minutes to an hour. When you lightly scrub off the sauce, your pot will be like new!

Stay tuned... tomorrow's issue I am featuring READER HINTS AND TIPS!

Handy Hint #1

Clean Range Hood Grease Filters With a Degreaser

Running your vent hood grease filter through the dishwasher can yield disappointing results. Likewise with 'grease cutting' household cleaners. Get great results with a water-based degreaser from the auto parts store. Fill the sink with hot water and degreaser, drop in the filter and let the degreaser do all the work. The filter will come out sparkling clean in just a few minutes. Then just rinse it off.

Handy Hint #2

It's easy to clean baked-on food and spills from your microwave here's how...

Partially fill a measuring or coffee cup with water and add a slice of lemon. Boil the water for a minute, and then leave the door closed and let the steam loosen the mess. After 10 minutes, open the door and wipe away the grime.
