To clean your garbage disposal:
To clean grease and leftover food from your disposal and sharpen the blades at teh same time, sprinkle baking soda liberally into the disposal drain and pour vinegar over it until it foams over. Let set for 10 minutes. Rinse with hot water. Put 2 or 3 ice cubes down the disposal and grind. Rinse again with hot water.

To clean your coffee maker:
At least once a month, fill the carafe half with water and half with white vinegar. Fill the resevoir and turn the unit on. Repeat one or two more times if you have some lime and calcium build-up from hard water. Run a pot of clean water through at least twice to remove all traces of the vinegar and any deposits it loosened.
