I have a lot of them! Ok lets start with 1.Combs and Brushes Fill a basin with hot water, and add either 2 tbsp ammonia OR 1 tsp liquid dish detergent. Drop in combs and brushes and soak 10 minutes, then use combs to clean brushes. Rinse thoroughly and air dry. 2.Toilet Bowl Pour 1/4 cup full strength chlorine bleach OR1/2 cup full strength ammonia into bowl. DO NOT USE BOTH Swish with a bowl brush and flush. 3. Soap Scum Apply baking soda dry or as a thick paste, rub vigorously with a wet sponge, then rinse. 4. Rust Stain and Hard Water Deposit Remover Apply full-strength vinegar or lemon juice and let stand until spot disappears, then rinse. 5. Fixtures To clean stainless steel, chrome, fiberglass, ceramic, porcelain or enamel fixtures, dissolve 2 tbsp baking soda in 1 qt of water.

For clogged drains pour baking soda then follow with vinegar. Let it sit for a few minutes while the vinegar fizzes then pour boiling water down the drain. It works great. If you have a smelly fridge over night lay a piece of paper towel and pour coffe grounds on it. I haven't tried this personally but was told by someone

I do make my own cleaning solutions. All I use is vinegar, salt, baking soda and lemon. It works perfect...sometimes I add orange for fresh fragrance...

Sometimes the kitchen is so difficult to clean because of cooking stain or grease ect!! Therefore the kitchen should be a very hygenic place since we cook and eat food... so we must clean it very well... i have got some homemade cleaning solution for that: 1. Ovens Fill a small glass bowl with 1/2 cup full-strength ammonia, place in oven Let stand overnight, then wipe loosened dirt with paper towel/newspaper! rub surfaces with a suitable abrasive, such as fine steel wool , then wash with warm soapy water and rinse! 2. Pots and Pans - Burned, and Crusted,on Foods Soak or boil a solution of 2 tbsp baking soda in water; in each pan. Let stand until particles are loosened, then wash as usual. Then use a mild or moderate abrasive. 3. Grease Rub greasy spots with a mild or moderate abrasive, and a dish detergent until they disappear. 4. Stained No-Stick Cookware pour a solution of 1 cup water, 2 tbsp baking soda and 1/2 cup chlorine bleach into the pan. and simmer 5 to 10 minutes. Wash in hot soapy water, rinse and dry. Apply a light coating of cooking oil. 5. Drains flush daily with scalding water. For grease buildup, dissolve 1 lb washing soda in boiling water and pour down drain.
