My home remedies are real sample and pretty much the same when it comes to cleaning anything. What Iusually use puts no harm to noone and does no damage to anything. Baking soda will take away any smell and helps take away stains, Dish soap in boiling water will clean the toughest stains to easiest stain, Vinegar and hot water unclogs your drains. Laundry soap and hot water will remove stains out of your carpets.

Hot lemon and honey or beef bullion for colds.
Hot steam for associated congestion, whatever the source.
Baking soda paste for many kinds of cleaning. Add salt for stings.
Ginger (usually added to tea) for upset stomachs
Some mints are great for repelling mosquitoes.
Epsom salts in a bath for assorted aches and pains. Also a marvelous foot bath.
If you have a pan with cooked-on grease, heat it and add a few drops of dish detergent and water to boil most if not all of it loose. Washing will be easy afterwards.
Have fun!

Take zip lock bags and fill them with water. Hang them on your porch. It will keep flies away. For a fever, rub pure garlic oil on the bottom of your feet. It will bring down a fever. Use white vinegar and water to shine a hardwood floor. This is just a few. I hope it helps you.

Sea Salt with other minerals wet it with alittle bit of water, slab it on, it makes for a great Deoderant all day long!

No smell (but it doesn't stop the wetness :( I'm tryin' to figure that one out, it'll only last for 3 hours for wetness then you'd have to reapply it on).
IT WORKS GREAT!
It's ALL natural, and has simple ingreadeants
