I have a glass top stove that is totally incased (theres no open edge to wipe crumbs from into the floor/your hand) and that makes it hard to get the crumbs and spilled foods off before cleaning. I started using my vacuum's hose with the wide brissle-less attachment. Now it gets all the crumbs!

I use a dust buster to get crumbs off the stove, counter top, etc.

That's such a good idea!! I don't have that type of stove, I've got gas and it can still apply since I can get the crumbs when I lift up the stovetop.

As long as it works, you are going to clean it anyway. I like easier. My brush thing is filthy though. I use it for everything. I don't have much bristle left ha ha.

Clean greasy messes Greasy pans? Splattered stove tops? Messy counters? If your kitchen has been the victim of some sloppy sauteing, try using lemon halves before bringing out possibly toxic chemical cleaners. Sprinkle some salt (for abrasion) on a juiced lemon half and rub on the greasy areas, wipe up with a towel. (Be careful using lemon on marble counter tops, or any other surface which may be sensitive to acid).
