clean these items. Clean the toaster with Red Juice and your
white pad, and use your toothbrush around the handles. Wipe
the chrome dry and streakless (as you would glass). Clean a

door. The microwave is easy. Spray and wipe inside and out.
Check with your supervisor regarding cleaning of other kitchen
counter items such as can openers and so forth.

a cloth—all except in the bowl of the sink itself. Every time you
clean, use your toothbrush around the faucets and where the
sink meets the counter. It makes a vast difference and it takes
only a few seconds.
Now use the cleanser in the bowl of the sink. (Use liquid or
powdered cleanser below the rim only, or you'll spend too much
time rinsing.) Conveniently enough, the cleanser is in your
carryall tray right next to the sink on the counter—where you
