1. Cleaning Windows. I keep a spray bottle filled with half vinegar, half water then wipe clean with either newspapers or lint free cloth.

2. Dusting. For daily dusting I keep a spray bottle filled with half vinegar, half water and lightly spray a cloth diaper and dust all surfaces in my house.

3.  Carpet spills. First I  use a cloth to soak up as much of the liquid as possible. Next, I spray a bottle filled with a mixture of half vinegar, half water. Let stand for about two minutes, then blot with towel or sponge. Repeat as needed. MORE: Carpet Cleaning Tips

4.  Clean Hard Water Build Up. We have hard water, so things like faucet and shower heads get gunked up.  I remove the heads and soak in a bow of vinegar in til loose, then scrub with a brush.  They will then look brand new!

5.  Clean Coffee Maker. Again, the hard water builds up in my coffee maker, making it take much longer to brew a pot of  coffee.  Fill coffee pot with 1/2 vinegar and 1/2 water and pour thru machine (no need to turn it on, it donesn’t have to heat up).  I then run about 4-5 pots of clear water thru to clean out all traces of vinegar. I make coffee daily, so I do this once a month.

6.  Clean No-wax floors. Using a solution of 1 cup vinegar per gallon of water clean no-wax floors for a shiny surface.

7.  Prevent Mildew in Shower. I spray shower walls and shower curtain with half vinegar  and half water to help prevent mildew.

8.  Remove odors from kitchen sink. I wipe down entire sink with straight vinegar (great for removing waterspots too) then pour one cup of vinegar down drain, wait one hour before rinsing.  (I throw a towel across the faucet to help me remember not to use it)

9.  Clean and deodorize microwave. Using a microwave-safe bowl, fill with 1/2 cup of vinegar and 1 cup water.  Place in the microwave, and cook long enough to boil. Let it sit in microwave while it cools.  You can then easily wipe down inside of microwave and  lingering odors should disappear.

10.  Clean refrigerator. Mix a gallon of warm water and 2 cups of vinegar to wipe down inside of refrigerator, including shelves, walls, and jars.  Your refrigerator will be clean and smelling clean with out harming any food.

Feng Shui masters say that clogged drains deplete finances, health, aspirations, travel, clog sinuses, and simply, wreak havoc in general. I don’t know about you……..but a clogged drain can be rather pesky and annoying, not to mention, rather costly if you have to call in a plumber.  Learn about this NATURAL HOMEMADE DRAIN CLEANER.
