If your coffee mugs or tea cups are looking a bit worse for wear, crumble a dishwasher tablet and put one chunk in each mug. Top with hot water and let sit for an hour before scrubbing each by hand with a clean scouring pad. They will be gleaming before long.

Pop a tablet into a microwave-safe bowl and cover with hot water. Let it dissolve. In the meantime, remove the rack and any crumbs from the microwave. Then use a cloth to apply the cleaning solution all around the interior. Scrub until all food residue has been removed. You will be surprised at how much grease this pulls out.
