Dishwashers:
Powdered detergents often work better than gels! The hotter the water the cleaner the dishes. If your dishwasher has a "sani" or extra heat setting for the wash water use it!
Use it or lose it!!.......
Dishwashers have seals that last much longer if they remain wet and are used regularly, use your dishwasher at least once every two weeks- even if that means running it through a short cycle empty!
Ranges/Ovens:
It's not a good idea to line the bottom of your burner drip pans with aluminum foil. This can cause a short circuit at the burner. Instead, replace the drip bowls with new ones. Your range will look new again, and the burners will work more efficiently by reflecting more heat toward the pan!
