Here is what you need:

Vinegar: the household superstar

Baking soda: the most versatile item in your kitchen

Lemon: for more than just squeezing it into your water

Borax

Cornstarch

Now let’s see how you can use these!

1. Window/mirror cleaner: 2 teaspoons of white vinegar mixed into a quart of water. Use a spray bottle to spray it on your windows, then use old newspaper to wipe it off.

2. Bathroom cleaner: rub baking soda on your tub, sink and tiles with a damp sponge, rinse with clean water.

3. Toilet bowl cleaner: 1/4 cup baking soda mixed with one cup of vinegar can be poured into toilet bowl. Leave it on for a few minutes, scrub with brush and rinse!

9. To remove carpet stains, spray equal parts white vinegar and water directly on stain. Let sit for several minutes, then clean with a brush using warm soapy water.

10. To clean chrome fixtures, apply a light misting of undiluted white vinegar from a spray bottle. Polish with a dry cloth to make them shine!
