I spend a fair amount of time in my kitchen, especially on the weekends, when I tend to bake up some treats. Through the week the microwave gets in on most of the culinary action. It's always nice to take the time to tidy up the workhorse of the home, though.
On the daily I use tea tree all purpose spray cleaner from Common Good because it's eco-friendly and smells nice. Usually it takes just a few sprays, which sit for 3-4 minutes, and then a quick swipe of a towel. Ketchup dots, rogue powdered sugar, and toasty crumbs are drawn in like magnetism.
For the pots and pans, which I don't trust to the dishwasher, I use method's clementine-scented dish soap to get the job done. Grease is no match for this stuff.
If I need just a teensy bit of abrasion on a cookie sheet or roasting pan, I turn to the power of baking soda. It's super cheap and green. (In fact, I just use boxes from my baking cabinet that are not so fresh any longer.) Drip a bit of warm water on the surface of the dish, sprinkle generously with baking soda, and rub with your fingers. Tah dah!
You can also use baking soda to clean the sink, faucet, and stovetop. A quick lap with the vacuum, and I'm done!
