I recently asked about a home solution to take stains off of countertops. Someone suggested scrubbing with a baking soda and water paste. After trying everything else imaginable, I was amazed at how easy that did the job! Does anyone know any other little cleaning solutions...stuff you find around the house...that are as effective?

white vinegar is good for cleaning ex. salt and vinegar to scrub copper bottom pans.
baking soda is a multi-use product; laundry, cleaning and deodorizing the fridge, coolers, brushing your teeth, litter box etc.
the original Dawn dish soap is good for removing grease on laundry.
have used the liquid soft soap for hand washing blood stains and follow with hydrogen peroxide before laundering, hang dry to make sure the stain is all gone then wash as usual.
Bon ami cleanser is good for counter tops and dishes, very mild on hands.
a room deodorizer can be made from an orange half, scoop out the pulp and fill with kosher salt.

Kitty litter will soak up spills on carpet, ice will get chewing gum up, vinegar will clean almost anything, toothpaste will polish scratches on your glasses,and about everything else will clean something.
Go to www.rd.com(Readers's Digest) and hit household tips.
And,you should have listened to your Grandma more, because in her day, they didn't sell 8,736,431.5 kinds of cleaners in Walmart.
Matter of fact, they didn't even have a Walmart on every corner!

Absolutely! vinegar is one of the best home cleansers! If you want to get rid of mildew in your laundry,( or anywhere just about,) - Use vinegar.!! It also gets rid of hard water spots, acts like a de-foamer, good for carpet cleaning, etc. If I'm cleaning, I'm using vinegar, baking soda, lemon juice, and those wonderful eraser pads!( I also like oxygen cleansers, & borax. ) You can go to cleaning sites for more info.

Baking Soda with white vinegar. Ainsley's answer would not undesirable both, yet i ask your self what reaction the lemon juice has with the vinegar. do not understand. something to imagine about. i ought to indicate being careful with bleach, because you may reason a poisonous gas launch in case you blend it with the incorrect element, and also you want to be careful. Years in the past in the previous I knew, I blended it with bathroom bowl cleanser and the gas is rather very poisonous. I puked and had to open countless living house windows to get it out of the room. it truly is a intense count number to blend it with different chemical compounds. it ought to kill you.

Shout! works amazing. We got red wine on our tan carpeting and it took the stain out completely. You can't even tell. Shout! also works on clothing if you have stains on them just by spraying and irritating (rubbing).
