1. Use Cream of Tartar and Hydrogen Peroxide to Make Mirrors and Glass Shine

Forget about those commercial sprays filled with chemicals. Make a paste out of cream of tartar and hydrogen peroxide. Apply to mirrors and glass for a few minutes before rinsing. This blend wipes out soap scum, dirt, and mineral stains-without the smell.

2. Baking Soda: For Freshening Carpets and Upholstery

Sprinkle on carpets, sofas, and even your mattress before vacuuming. Let it settle for 15-20 minutes. It naturally absorbs odour, moisture, and dust, cleaning out wonderfully and freshening up everything.

3. Water Stains Off Wood with a Hair Dryer

Have ugly rings on your wooden furniture? Stick the hair dryer on medium heat and keep it aimed directly toward the stain until the stain disappears. Then buff with a little olive oil to shine it up.

4. Clear Drains and Disposals the Natural Way

You can eliminate the clog by pouring hot, boiling water down the drain, followed by a cup of baking soda. Wait for 10 minutes, pour in about one or two cups of white vinegar, sit back and watch the fizzing action. Force everything out with even more hot water. Bye-bye, gunk and smells!

5. Microfiber Cleaning Tools to Reach Tight Spaces

Microfiber gloves or cleaning sticks can be used to trap dust and debris in corners for those tricky places like tracks, blinds, or behind appliances. They are reusable, even gentle on surfaces, and are super effective.

6. Clean Ovens and Stovetops with Lemons

Lemon juice can cut through grease and grime naturally. Just rub half a lemon all over the stains in your microwave, stove, or oven. The mess actually lifts off, and you end up with a lovely citrus scent.

7. Construct Your Own Multipurpose Cleaner

Add a teaspoon of dish soap, a few drops of your preferred essential oil (such as eucalyptus or tea tree), and equal parts white vinegar and warm water to a spray bottle. Shake vigorously. "This cleaner works wonders on kitchen countertops, bathroom tiles, and more." (Tip: Don't use vinegar on natural stone; use baking soda instead.)

8. Sparkling Stainless Steel

Fingerprints and streaks on your fridge or sink? Spray a mixture of vinegar and water, then wipe with a microfiber cloth with the grain. The result? Gleaming, smudge-free steel.

9. Homemade Air Freshener Spray

No more commercial air fresheners; take water and isopropyl alcohol by equal volumes and put in 10 to 15 drops of essential oils. Spray around your house for an uplifting, allergy-free fragrance.
