10 cooking cleanup habits you’re doing wrong.

Reusable containers often have food residue that can lead to mold or odors if not cleaned properly. Skipping a quick pre-clean can make thorough cleaning more challenging. Rinse containers with warm water immediately after use to prevent residue from hardening. For stubborn stains or odors, use a mixture of baking soda and water to scrub and deodorize.

Garbage disposals can accumulate food particles and grease, leading to unpleasant odors and blockages. Regular cleaning is essential to maintain functionality. Run a mixture of ice cubes and salt through the disposal to dislodge debris, followed by a few slices of lemon to freshen the smell. For a deeper clean, use a disposal brush or cleaner specifically designed for disposals.
