Keeping it clean in the kitchen

So we all want to find ways to make life a little easier.  Sometimes the simplest things can make a big difference.

This sounds silly but how often do you wash your oven mitts and place mats?  Every time?  Once a month?  If you can't answer then you should probably go and check them pretty soon!  You can bet each and every guest that visits your property will use these basic items.
Let's face it those old fashioned material pieces do the job but they do need be washed OFTEN.  Washing = time & money.

How about a simple solution... silicone!  Wipe it down, you're on your way.
Silicone has come a long way, there are stylish silicone items that can save you time and money, and look good!
Peter's of Kensington has these beautiful place mats.  Stylish yes?

Modern Twist - Grey birds silicone placemat

These silicone pot holders and oven mitts will also come in handy....

But I seem to recall Kmart having these for $2!  Have a look, they have a great range of silicone cookware for the bargain price of $2.  

There's really no excuse for dirty oven mitts now is there.
