Default Make your own natural cleaning kit.

Put one half cup of baking soda in a container and add to it enough dishwashing liquid to make a creamy texture and use it to clean your bathtub and sinks. This is non scratchy just like Soft Scrub, and much cheaper.

Get a spray bottle and fill almost full with water, add vinegar and a little dishwashing liquid to make a great window cleaner. Use with newspaper for squeaky clean windows and mirrors.

A great furniture polish can be made from a cup of lemon juice and two teaspoons of olive oil. Store in airtight container.

To clean white or tan leather use vodka, it dries fast. To clean dark leather, use equal parts linseed oil and white vinegar mixed together. After cleaning, wipe off and allow to dry. To keep leather soft use castor oil and a soft cloth being sure to wipe off any access.

Use plain old baking soda to keep your refrigerator smelling fresh.

Vinegar and water mixed together can remove coffee stains. Mix the vinegar and water at a 2 to 1 ratio. Water being the larger part of the mixture.

Use cornstarch to remove grease and oil stains from cloth.
