ALL GOOD IN THE (OVEN) HOOD

Image
  Your oven hood can get funky really quickly, especially if you like to cook a lot. To clean it, spray with LivClean Cleaning Vinegar with Calamansi, let sit for at least half an hour, and wipe down with a damp cloth. LivClean Cleaning Vinegar works well inside your oven as well. Scrub down with a clean sponge, and scoop out any residue that is dislodged. Not only is your oven going to be refreshed and deodorized, no harsh chemicals or their residue will be going anywhere near your food. The high acidity level of cleaning vinegar helps loosen mineral deposits (such as lime & rust) and dissolve soap scum, making it perfect for bathroom cleaning! And because it is so acidic, it creates a hostile environment for many microorganisms, making it a powerful disinfect as well. A 1997 study in the Journal of Environmental Health showed that undiluted vinegar was just as effective as bleach in eliminating E. coli from surf...
