Another example of switching to a
higher-horsepower tool is when
you encounter food dried so hard
that even a white pad takes
forever to work. Let's say drips of
pancake batter have dried to
malicious little bits of stone stuck
to the counter. When you tried
your white pad, you found that
you were rubbing one micron or so
off the top of the dried pancake
batter every swipe. When you first
encounter the problem, better to
put your cloth away, grab your
scraper, and scrape the batter loose
in a second or two. Replace the
scraper and continue along your
way. Be careful not to scratch the
surface: Spray the surface first and
keep the scraper blade at a low
angle. Remember, increase the
force or strength of the tool only as
necessary (Rule 7).

You need your Blue Juice and a dry cloth to clean these items,
and since you are carrying them with you in your apron, there is
no need to go back to the tray. To clean, spray lightly and evenly
with Blue Juice and wipe with a dry cloth until the glass is dry. If
you don't wipe it completely dry, you will leave streaks—and if
you don't use a very dry cloth, you are wasting time and your
energy since it will take you longer to wipe the glass dry. When
we say spray lightly, we mean it. Glass or a mirror cleaned with
a quick light spray of Blue Juice gets just as clean as a mirror
drenched in it. It just takes two or three times longer if you
overspray! So don't. Replace the Blue Juice sprayer after each
use— back where it was on your apron loop.
