hi sudha,

It is good for all glass dining table etc...... . But it doesn't remove stains it only gives shine...........

prabha

to remove stains from tea/coffee cups..........
rub some table salt on the stained area
and wash thoroughly with soap as usual

to keep the asafoetida (perunkayam) cakes soft.
keep one green chilly in the box in which u store asafoetida.
this will keep it soft. u can always change the chilly after a week
by using the chilly in some curry. u need not waste that also.

to clean the tiles on walls on the cooking area.
dip ur scrubber in kerosene and wipe the walls with it.
if the oil/grease is heavy on the walls, u can apply kerosene, soak for some time and then wipe with the scrubber. you can even use coconut fibre dipped in kerosene instead of plastic scribbers, which are inexpernsive and can be thrown away after use.
