				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Give your dishwasher the vacation treatment. First remember to leave it open a crack before you leave and never set the dishwasher to run if you will be gone for an extended period of time.<br />
Second, when you return from vacation, load the soap dispenser with Tang, and run it on the shortest cycle. The citric acid in the Tang will help kill bacteria inside the unit.</p>

</ul>
<p>Features found in a kitchen with a rustic design style:</p>
<ul>
<li>Natural materials with smooth finishing.</li>
<li>Hardwoods and wood beams on the ceiling.</li>
<li>Lots of windows, stone walls and fireplaces</li>
<li>Stained glass in a few cabinets or in a light fixture</li>
<li>Shaker door styles that highlight the cabinet&#8217;s structure.</li>
</ul>
