For anyone who has a George Forman or similar grill I found a really simple method of cleaning my baby one. Take a 3 sheet-thick wad of kitchen paper and wet it. As soon as you have finished grilling, turn off and sandwich the paper between the plates. By the time you have finished eating it will have cooled enough to simply wipe off all the gunge with no effort, damping again if you have left it too long. I understand that the most common reason given for not using these grills is the cleaning difficulty.

I put this on the other thread we had about this, so at the risk of repeating myself - get your chrome taps gleaming and sparkly by coating them with toothpaste, leaving for 10 minutes or so and then rinsing with cold water. It really works. 
My sister the accountant deplores my habit of not even trying to get the last bit out of bottles - she's coming this weekend!!!! She also counts the potatoes.
(Note I didn't say tips and wrinkles 
!)
To get the last bit out of bottles (not wine, obviously) such as ketchup, shampoo etc, make sure the lid is tightly closed, hold the bottle upside down and swing in small circles.
The liquid inside will go down into the neck, meaning you can get more out.
