LISTEN UP IF YOU WERE BORN after 1999. STOP THROWING UR MONEY AWAY FOR FANCY BOTTLES OF CLEANING PRODUCTS when you can spend LESS then 3.00 and you will be AMAZED!! I had my iron dutch on my glass stop stove and I planted on getting up early n making lots of peanut ball so I did not put my 2 pound bag of powered sugar nor the the 2 pound bag chocolate chips up since i was going to need it early the next morning on Christmas Eve because EVERYONE was begging for my peanut butter balls and since my oldest son would be cooking for me and his 20 yr old sis and 15 yr old brother and it was a BIG DEAL because well I normally cook Christmas but this time my 32 yr old son took it upon himself to cook not just myself, father, brothers ,and sister but also uncles grandmother and so on and well mom AKA ME was bringing the old fashioned delicious peanut butter balls!! Eell i thought just stick everything in the dutch over since it going to need it all in a few hours SO good Mom here went on to bed woke up refreshed and excited and couldn’t wait to watch everyone enjoy my peanutbutter balls. Let me tell you I walked in my kitchen n there was this BLACK LOOKING MELTED tar all over my glass top and Im thinking out loud WHAT IS THAT WHO SPILLED THIS ALL OVER MY STOVE and noticed the stuff was leaking out of my dutch oven n I grabbed the lid off n Immediately realized AFTER SCREAMING from burning my hand on that lid what was REALLY GOING ON! The stove eye somehow was ON just a tad the nob barely was turned IVE NO CLUE how it had turned but it had t be me. Well let me I spent LOTS of money on cleaning supplies n I scrubbed n scrubbed for one whole day used a paint scraper trying to chisel what felt and looked like BLACK GLASS!! You know it was a big bag of sugar and a huge bag of chocolate along with the plastic groceries bags all melted together Solid as a rock n looked like black glass. None of the top brand cleaners put a dent in it. Finally the next morning I thought surely this has to come off and thinking how sore my arms were from scrubbing soo much. So I sat down and thought about the OLD DAYS when there wasn’t all the fancy pricey cleaning supplies in stores or choices were very slim and money was tight fire most families and I tried to remember what my granny used besides Lysol,Bleach and that good old powder Comet. And it hit the very most 2 things most have right there in the kitchen at all times most always. No more then cple of bucks for a cple items for a dirty job. BAKING SODA AND VINEGAR. I found a spray bottle poured some baking soda in there then filled it with white vinegar then I sprayed the hardened sugar n chocolate n WOW immediately it became active and you could HEAR it sizzling eating away at this mess!! Waited 15 min while it ate away at this mess then wipe the liquid and repeat. It was still time consuming but I don’t think ANYTHING would have pulled this mess up from my glass top. None of my cleaning products worked n nothing I ran out n bought that very morning assuming if I hurried it wouldn’t be so bad WRONG none even touched this awful mess!! I couldn’t believe how Id forgotten how great these two were together for tough jobbs even simply jobs. I think we all get so Mesmerized by the fancy commercials and pricey looking labels n bottles!! Omg the bathtub that the kids use had been stopping up n drainer a whole BOTTLE DID NOT help much. DING DING get some very hot water( I pop some in microwave n let it boil) get that hot water n get another container or old bowl mix a few spoons of baking soda with your white fill with white vinegar you should make about 11/2 cps of hot water and 1 1/2 cps OF HOT vinegar and start off with around 1cup of baking soda/powder either one. Pour ur baking soda in your mixture of water n vinger n stir good leaving no big chucks of the power slowly dump down your drain n walk away n soo something else for about 15 min. Take a fladh light n look to see if its clear if soo ur done n if not just repeat easy peasy. You need stain remover N AGAIN very cheap yet WORKS do half the bottle wayer then the other half vinegar but be sure to not fill to the top stop at the beginning of the kneck add about a 1/2 cp of Baking soda n shake shake making sure there no chunks that will clogged your sprayer top up. Get your bottles at the dollar treevit doents have to be a fancy spray bottles why pay more then a 1.00 when you know the dollar tree pretty much always have them stocked. People I didn’t mean for this to be long but ya know my daughter Makalyla who is close to 21 recently moved out into her own place and I didn’t have time to teach her so many DIY things that will make things easier without breaking the bank. I went for yrs forgetting how great baking soda it for many different things. Stain on your carpet even for pets mixed with again water and vinegar n you can just used the bottle you’ve made for laundry stains. Spay your fur babies it will get rid of fleas or prevent them. If ur fur baby like to scratch n has NO FLEAS treat them with this mixture n they will stop scratching doesn't smell great but the smell doesn't last very long and the baking soda Eliminate’s odors. Well I’m FINALLY sleeping I hope you all enjoyed my small book LOL The title will be— LOST FOR YEARS THEN BAKING SODA AGAIN. Bless you all
