1. GLASS CLEANER
Great for: Windows and mirrors

Ingredients

  • 2 cups water
  • 1/2 cup white or cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup rubbing alcohol (70% concentration)
  • 1 to 2 drops of orange essential oil, which gives the solution a lovely smell (optional)

How to use: Combine ingredients and store in a spray bottle. Spray on a paper towel or soft cloth first, then on the glass. Hint: Don’t clean windows on a hot, sunny day because the solution will dry too quickly and leave lots of streaks.

2. HEAVY-DUTY SCRUB
Great for: Rust stains on porcelain or enamel sinks and tubs

Ingredients

  • Half a lemon
  • 1/2 cup borax (a laundry booster; find it in the detergent aisle)
    How to use: Dip the lemon into the borax and scrub surface; rinse. (Not safe for marble or granite.)
