Reader’s Digest Cleaning Tip to Help Your Summer Sparkle

 
Father’s Day had us barbecuing. It was a great celebration with elk burgers, homemade hamburger buns, potato salad and homemade ice cream. It was a feast fit for our king. Today we’re cleaning up and this includes the grill. Thanks to these house cleaning tips from Reader’s Digest, I’m armed to get my grill clean-up on and keep it ready to work.
Here’s Four  Ways to Clean a Dirty Grill:

1.) Aluminum Foil: Save the foil that covers your fixings to scrub off the grill before you begin your next meal on the grill.

2.) Baking Soda: Scour the grill with minimal effort with a mixture of baking soda and water.

3.) Garbage Bags: the perfect foundation to lay the grill rack on and spray with oven cleaner.

4.) WD-40: Liberal application of this common household product will have your grill looking good as new.

While visiting Reader’s Digest I discovered a lot of ways to save money and clean every day around the house. The site is a plethora of useful tips to make the most of your summer and keep your home in tip top shape!
