Oven Cleaning

I have NEVER cleaned my oven in the 7+ years we have lived in our house. And I love to bake so I had burnt on build up on the bottom of my oven.

Pinner Said: The appliance repairman told me using the self-cleaning feature takes years off the life of an oven. The best oven cleaner! Cover bottom of oven with baking soda, then pour vinegar so it's all wet. Let sit around 20 minutes or so then wipe all of it out with damp cloth or sponge. I leave my oven door open too. After drying you may see some white residue, wipe again.

My Results: This worked really well it took 90% of that built up nasty grim off.

Puffy Cupcakes

I seemed to always have issues with my cupcakes coming out totally and completely flat! Then I found this awesome tip.

Cupcake tips - "I lowered my oven temperature down to 325 degrees and cooked them a little longer"

Original Source

My Results: This works 95% of the time for me, my oven sucks with keeping the right temperature so I'm partially blaming it on that.

Yellow Arm Pit Stains

We have some gross arm pit stained shirts in our house, we live in Az and sweat a lot! Sorry its gross but thats the "fun" of living in summer 9 months out of the year!

Original Source

My Results: This worked alright but probably would have worked even better if I had turned the shirts inside out since that's were the source of the stain is. This is also a great grease stain remover too!
