When you have a shower, clean the shower cubicle first before washing yourself...gets two things done at once and you don't get clothing wet or bleach spotted coz you ain't wearing none...LOL

1. BAKING SODA. it cleans everything: teeth stuffed animals shoes litter box dishes laundry carpets it removes odors everywhere it puts out fires check it out : http://www.armhammer.com/basics/ ......... 2. The cleaning the shower while taking a shower is a great tip too. 3. One cup a day- don't dirty too many dishes. Just keep rinsing out the same cup and re-filling it to lessen your dish load 4. take a box around the house- start in one room, and pick up everything that "doesn't belong", put it in the box, and return it to its place. 5. if you are hanging up clothes, put all the clothes on your bed, and gather all the empty hangers from your closet. Hang up your clothes and stack them on your bed (making sure all the hangers are facing the same direction). Then hang in the closet. Its faster than picking up one by one from the floor or laundry basket. :) tips are so nice. ah. oh, last but not least... first magazine for women always has random tips that help. :)

Vinegar , is really great , in a lot of different ways Good Question + 5

Don't leave a room until it is completed. In all garbage cans and wastebaskets put at the bottom of the can at least 10 extra bags so when you empty them you always have one handy.

Use lime or lemon to clean counter tops. It makes them shiny.

In times of stress, get your priorities straight and remember than nobody ever died from dust or becausing the carpet had not been vacuumed.

Coffe filters to clean windows and not leave streaks Vinegar and water as the solution used on the glass edit- I really CAN spell coffee! =X

if you put dirty clothes into the washing machine, add detergent and turn it on, the clothes get clean!

Using newspapers rather than papertowels to clean glass with no streak. Use peanut butter to get off the sticky residue left on glass on plastic by sales stickers.

I use hot water, bicarb soda, vinegar and steam to clean the house, floors, walls, windows, shower etc and i get great results every time :)

At the bottom of every garbage can I put in about 7 extra bags so when I collect garbage there is always an extra one ready to line the can.

Throw some boiling water down your kitchen sink once a week. It keeps your pipes from clogging.

Car engine degreaser works great on heavy cleaning jobs around the house.

To clean your LCD computer screen, mix 50% water and 50% isopropyl alcohol in a spray bottle. On a clean soft cloth (I use a T-shirt) spray a small amount of the solution on the cloth. Turn off the screen, then you can see the dirt and smudges better. Wipe the computer screen very gently and it will come clean very easily. The alcohol will not harm your screen in any way! It will dry very quickly, because of the alcohol solution. I got this tip from the Kim Komando radio program, about four years ago and have been using it on both of my computers. If you want to spend a little money, pick up some "electronic cleaning wipes" from walmarts. Have a Great Day!!

cheap shampoo on a scrubber sponge is great to get rid of soap scum

club soda and salt gets out wine stains :)

flour will remove an oil splatter

steam. i have a steamer, it is electric. pour in the water, plug it in. five minutes later...just point and press the button and steam shoots out that will melt anything and i can jus wipe it away with a paper towel.

Vinegar is great for a lot of things from cleaning coffeepots, a bit in rinse water when you don't have fabric softener. It can safely be used diluted with water to clean hardwood floors. And my all time favorite use for it, don't laugh. . .it can ease the pain of a sunburn. Want to make that chrome sparkle without streaks, use glass cleaner. I learned that one from a hotel maid. You can make your own homemade glass cleaner with amonia, isopropal alcohol and a drop of dish detergent diluted with water. It goes further and is just as effective as the commercial brands. Don't use an old bottle for this though get a new one and be sure to label it. Mix in a spray bottle: 1 cup rubbing (isopropyl) alcohol 1 cup water 1 tablespoon clear, non-sudsing ammonia Ammonia is a strong alkaline. Using this recipe with ammonia is a stronger version of the cleaning recipe that contains vinegar. Baking soda is also another great tool. You can use for more than household cleaning. If you use clay cat litter, put a bit of baking soda in it to help keep the odors down. It can be used to clean teeth in a pinch. A paste of it is effective on insect bites.

If you ever get crayon marks on your window, save yourself a lot of time and buy goo gone, spray it on, wipe with paper towel.. crayon gone.

Mr. Clean Magic Eraser.

Use Swarfega hand cleaner on any oil and grease stains even engine oil. It will remove even from the most delicate fabrics without causing harm.

Fill your kitchen sink with hot water. Pour in one cup of bleach. Let it sit for about 1 hour, then drain.

white distilled vinegar and warm water can give your floors a nice shine as well as the products sold in stores(not recommended for wood floors)
