Bathrooms:
Tip For cleaning your tub or shower: Use the Baking Soda around your wet tub. It will make a paste then you can scrub it clean naturally. Rinse with your natural disinfectant spray for extra disinfecting!
Tip for getting rid of rings in your toilet: Make a paste of Cream of Tartar and hydrogen peroxide, let rest for one hour before scrubbing lightly.
Tip for cleaning your toilet: Use seltzer tablets! Drop two in the bowl, wait for them to completely dissolve, then flush. Your toilet will sparkle!
Tip for removing rust from from sinks, tubs and toilets: A mixture of salt and lemon juice- you may want to use a toothbrush to get in those crevices!
Tip for cleaning mirrors: Club Soda! Spray it on, wipe it off. It is cheaper and a much better shine than the leading glass cleaner.
Tip for soap-scum and mildew prevention: you can use car wax! Clean shower thoroughly first. Then rub a coat of car wax all over the tile. Be sure to not get it on the floor; it will be slippery! This will repel water and prevent mildew.
Kitchens:
Tip for clogged drains: Sprinkle 1/2 cup of baking soda down the drain, then pour 1 cup of vinegar. Followed by two cups of boiling water. You can do this once a month for prevention as well.
Tip for removing rust from steel items: Crumble up a piece of foil shiny side out, it takes a little elbow grease, but it works. For stainless steel, dip the foil into coca-cola and scrub.
A potato, cut lengthwise, dipped into salt or baking will remove rust. Be sure to wet the surface lightly before scrubbing. Rinse thoroughly.
Tip for stains on plastics: Set outside and let the sun naturally bleach them.
Tip to remove tarnish from your silver: Line a porcelain sink with aluminum foil. Lay your pieces of silver on top of the foil, making sure each piece of silver touches the foil, then pour boiling water to cover the silver. Add a cup of baking soda and let sit 1 hour. Remove the silver and dry. Polish with a dry cloth. This will save you time and money and your silver will shine!
Tip to remove burned food on pots and pans: sprinkle dry dishwasher detergent over the bottom, add 2-3 inches of water. Place in oven, or on top of stove, and heat until boiling. Remove from heat and cool until warm. Put a pair of glove on and clean. Grease and burned food will lift right off. This works great! Be sure not to let the water evaporate or it will be worse!
