Chrome's incognito mode uses a fresh cache and cookie store, and disposes it of when you close the incognito window. What I tend to do when viewing my code from the teamtreehouse workspace is just to copy the url for the preview and paste it in a new incognito window.
Another benefit of using the Incognito Mode is that you won't have any plugins or extensions, which in other case might interfere with your code or/and clutter up your console while you're developing.
