Simple Life Hacks That Have “Grandma” Written All Over Them

Doing the dinner dishes is a daunting enough task without the greasy, caked-on pots and pans. But the horror of the heavy scrubbing that those pans will need is enough to make anybody run away. Of course, you can let them soak for a while, and it might make the scrubbing a little easier, but that doesn’t always solve the problem.

Instead of using all your energy up with scrubbing, use some everyday household items to make your work much more manageable. For example, sprinkle some baking soda onto that greasy pan and pour a little white vinegar over it. The combination of these two ingredients will begin to bubble up and break down all the difficult, stuck-on food while removing the grease.
