Save money and use a slightly dampend cloth to dust your furniture, etc. Instead of commercial wipes, etc. use a clean cotton towel or rag and spray lightly with water or make your hand wet and rub it along the cloth a few times until it is slightly damp. It will catch the dirt, help wipe off finger marks, etc. and when you are done using it, simply dry it and add it to your laundry so it can be used again instead of wasting money and adding to our landfills, etc.

To remove water spots on your windows, etc. from sprinklers on your lawn, spray the window with vinegar (do not dilute with water) and wipe dry. The vinegar will clean your window and dissolve the lime from the water. Non-toxic, inexpensive and already in your kitchen cupboard, no additional bottle of cleaner to purchase or store in your cabinet.

Outdoor work and play will often leave a “ring around the bathtub” at cleanup time. There's no need to stoop or kneel to scrub, though. Just wet the tub, sprinkle with cleanser and sweep with a child-size broom. The stiff bristles will have the tub spotless in record time.

Mix equal parts of rubbing alcohol, white vinegar and water plus three small squirts of dishwashing liquid (like Dawn). This saves you money from buying another cleaner product and space to store it and is in your home when you need it. No harsh chemicals either or nasties in your laundry from washing cleaners out of your mop or scrub rag. This recipe is from a floor installer.

The best answer that I have found for stopping itching from mosquito bites, etc. is to use the same ointment that ladies use for yeast infection. Apply it to the bite area and the itching stops very quickly. It is easy to purchase in any store, needs no prescription, no smell, just an effective answer and help to the problem.
