ing buildup off barbecue grills, removing burnedon food in pots and for removing decals and price tags? — Heloise PARTY PLACEMENT Dear Heloise: For years, I’ve held large parties in my home. Over time, I have found a way to save time and eliminate the stress of setting up by creating labels for each platter. Once I have chosen the dish or platter for each entree or side dish, I place it where it would go when the table is set. Serving utensils are placed next to them. You’d never believe how much easier it is to organize a party when you are ahead of the game. — Michele, via fax Send a money-saving or timesaving hint to Heloise, P.O. Box 795000, San Antonio, TX 782795000, or you can fax it to 1-210-HELOISE or email it to Heloise@Heloise.com. I can’t answer your letter personally but will use the best hints received in my column.

net fronts? We have been remodeling, and grimy hands are all over our doors and cabinets. Please help! — Kathemarie H. in Louisiana Happy to help, Kathemarie! Here is my easyand-cheap solution: Mix 1 part vinegar (apple cider or white) with 2 parts water. Take a clean rag or a microfiber cloth and submerge in the solution. Squeeze out excess liquid (you never overwet wood). Wipe the cabinet surfaces, then dry the cabinets with a clean cloth. This should be safe for most finishes, but be sure to test in a small, inconspicuous spot first. Want to know what other household cleaners you can easily make at home? I have put together a pamphlet with all of my homemade cleaning solutions. To order, send $5 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (66 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Cleaners, P.O.
