Grease is really hard to wash off. You can remove it with oil. A few drops of mineral oil on a towel, rub the dirty surface. When you finish, go with cleaner for all purposes to wash off the oil.

Stains on chairs or on the sofa? The rubbing alcohol is here to help. Put the alcohol into a spray bottle then spray the dirty area and rub it with a white sponge. When the spots dry out, smooth the sofa or chairs with a white brush to look as good as new.

You can shine the stovetops with the car wax. Add a little of it and then wash it off with a towel. This will help you clean it easy in the future as well.

You can use a salvage car value calculator to find out the worth of that wrecked car that’s been in your driveway or garage taking up space. This is a great way to clean out the garage of that wrecked car that’s taking up valuable space and put some money in your pocket.

If you combine water and white vinegar, you can easily and fast, clean your blinds. Pick up an old sock or some smaller towel, soak a little of it and wipe away the blinds. Many companies like Tidy Cleaning SW12 use this.


Five spoons of baking soda, four spoons of white vinegar and a few drops of dishwashing liquid will do the magic and will clean all the grease off your oven. When you combine the ingredients, stir them until you got yourself a paste. Put some of it on the oven and wait for 5-10 minutes. After that just wipe it off with a towel.

If you have a coffee ring on your table, here is a solution. Keep a blow drier really close to the spots and you will see that they are removing. When you finish, put some mineral oil for the wood.

How do you deal with the stains on the carpet? How about one part of vinegar and two of water in a bottle with a spray mechanism? Spray on the damaged areas until it dampens a little. After that put a steaming iron on the stain for 30 seconds. And it should be as new as you bought it.

The stainless metal in your bathroom and kitchen can be easily cleaned with a lemon. Cut the lemon in two pieces and rub over all the metal.

Tubs and showers can be easily cleaned with a couple of spoons of liquid soap and essential oils, mixed with baking soda and some water. The ingredients form a paste with which you will rub the tub and showers.

The toilet can be cleaned up with, yes, vinegar. Put some vinegar in the toilet. It would be best if you do it before you go to sleep. Wash it up in the morning and it will shine and there will be no bacteria.

Your microwave needs a shiny look, too. A cup of water, two spoons of white vinegar and some drops of essential oils will make it look brand new again. Put the bowl with the ingredients in the microwave for 5 minutes, after that wipe off and you are done.

Water and vinegar will clean your coffee maker as well, and the toaster. You can even use one spoon of tartar cream mixed with a little water. It will do its magic, too.
