When you are baking or cooking, keep a sink full of hot soapy water ready, so you can drop any dishes or utensils in, once you have finished using them. This prevents food from drying on them and makes cleanup fast and easy.

Do not use an all-purpose cleaner on polyurethane finished or factory pre-finished hardwood floors, as it will dull your floor and leave an oily residue. To maintain warranty and for the best results, use the floor cleaner recommended by the manufacturer if possible.
