It is super helpful to hear about the products chefs use to clean. Planning a stop at the hardware store today to pick up some extra fine steel wool & bar keepers friend! Would love to hear more of your kitchen cleaning tips & tricks, Carla!

The other go-to cleanser in my kitchen was the late, much-lamented Boraxo, which I'd scrub my hands with vigorously to remove capsaicin after working with chiles. Did you know that Twenty Mule Team *discontinued* Boraxo?? It joins the long list of no-longer cleansers, along with Gold Dust Powder and Fantastik. Recently my last vintage canister ran out and I had to search for a replacement--which I found! Banner Chemical Co. makes a borax-based powdered hand soap that could easily be Boraxo wearing a funny nose and glasses. It only comes in five-pound boxes, which will probably last me twenty years.
