To Deodorize -- Combine the juice of a lemon and a cup of water in a microwavable bowl. Place it in the middle and heat to boiling for 1 minute. Turn off oven and let the bowl stay for a while. 
TOASTER
To Remove Melted Plastic -- Massage petroleum jelly (Vaseline) on the plastic splotch. Next, make some toast so that the toaster heats up, then rub off the plastic with a cloth. 
ELECTRIC CAN OPENER -- After using the opener, run a piece of paper towel through the gears to absorb the oil or residue from the just opened can.
Dishwasher -- To clean, treat the dishwasher to some TANG. Scatter 3 to 4 tablespoons of the orange-drink powder around inside the empty dishwasher and run the wash and rinse cycles.

Food Processor -- Spray the food processor bowl and blade with nonstick vegetable oil for really easy cleanups.
COFFEEPOTS -- To clean stains on glass or stainless steel coffeepots, make a paste of 3 parts baking soda to 1 part water and massage into the stains until gone. Rinse and dry.
To clean a Drip Coffee Maker, every few weeks, give the coffee maker a thorough cleaning by pouring equal parts white vinegar and water into the water reservoir and putting it through the brew cycle. Then repeat the brew cycle, but this time use clean water to rinse the machine.
TEAKETTLE -- To remove lime or calcium deposits, fill the kettle with 1 quart water and either ½ cup white vinegar or 2 tablespoons baking soda and 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice. Boil for about 15 minutes. When cool enough, wash and rinse as usual.
