Get a big bottle of cheap vinegar; excellent glass cleaner.
about 2 years ago
Baking soda and vinegar make a great drain cleaner. Pour lots of baking soda down, then add vinegar, same as the old volcano experiment kids do in school. Later pour down boiling water. Really clears things out.
Baking soda and vinegar, together and separate can be great cleaners. Baking soda is nice when you need a bit of grit to get the job done.
You can dilute vinegar and use as a glass cleaner. Some add some rubbing alcohol to the mix. Newspaper can do an amazing job of getting the glass to shine.
I use vinegar for just about everything. Floors, countertops and so on.

There are a lot of products in your home that are cleaning products too, such as:
- vinegar- it kills mould, viruses and bacteria
- baking soda: a natural deodorizer and a good cleaner too
- lemon juice: great for greased-on stuff
- Olive oil: a natural oil that helps to nourish and polish wood
-Use white vinegar to clean your floors, since white vinegar is an all-purpose cleaner, deodorizer and disinfectant. Use essential oils if you want a nice scent left behind.
-Mix salt with baking soda or lemon juice to clean tea and coffee stains in cups, or for removing red wine stains from tablecloths.
-For wood surfaces, combine three parts olive oil to one part white vinegar in a spray bottle, or one part lemon juice to two parts olive oil. Use on any wood surface, or use to clean fingerprints on stainless-steel surfaces.
-Mix water with white vinegar and pour solution into spray bottle. Use on walls, shower curtains, and tiles to help eliminate and prevent mould and mildew from re-emerging.
-To clean calcium stains in your toilet, drop a 1000 milligram tablet of vitamin C into the bowl overnight, and your stains will come out naturally!
-To clean your oven, pour a mix of baking soda and hot water over the scuffed up surface of your oven, leave for overnight, and scrub with a soapy abrasive sponge the next morning, taking the mess right off.
