WINDOW CLEANER: 1 c. water 2 T. vinegar 2 T. rubbing alcohol 1 1/2 t. cornstarch. 1. Mix all ingredients in a small spray bottle {I got mine from the “beauty section” of the grocery store} 2. Shake 3. Spray on windows, mirrors, or any other glass surface 4. Wipe with a soft cloth or paper towel 5. Enjoy your streak-free shine for pennies!

GROUT CLEANER: baking soda, vinegar, or oxygen bleach. Equipment: A grout brush (or old toothbrush), and maybe a steam cleaner for tough-to-fight grime. (See below.) Instructions We'll start out with the lightweights and move down the list to heavier-duty eco cleaners. They're all good for superficial cleaning, maintaining, and getting rid of a little mold that's built up over a couple of months. For extra grime, see steps 5 through 7. 1. Grab an old toothbrush or a small grout cleaning brush. We'd recommend the special purpose tool because grout brushes have sturdier bristles and are a little bigger, but an old toothbrush will totally work in a pinch. 2. Start simple. Spray the affected area with a 50-50 mixture of vinegar and water, and then scrub with the brush. *Here's a tip: forget straight lines, and scrub in circles to remove more grossness from the grout. 3. If that's not doing the trick, reach for the baking soda. Make a paste by mixing baking soda with water, then spread the mixture along the grout. 4. Using the brush, scrub the baking soda mixture into the grout, again in circular motions. Rinse well and repeat if necessary. 5. Try out a steam cleaner. You can rent one from most home improvement stores. 6. If that's not enough, turn to a non-toxic oxygen bleach—which is normally combo of borax or sodium percarbonate. Just like baking soda, make a thick paste to scrub into the grout. 7. Leave the paste on the grout for about 15 minutes, and then scrub it off and rinse well

Clean your washing machine. Mine WAS disgusting until I tried this. Easy
Take a spray bottle, fill it about 1/8th full with rubbing alcohol, add a drop of Dawn dishwashing soap, a few drops of scented oil (optional, but makes it smell so good), fill the rest of the way with water, shake together, and you're good to go! It makes your granite (or any countertop) shine and feel so smooth at a fraction of the price~I have loved it and use it on my appliances as well. Got this from Melissa at granvillehouse.blogspot. She is amazing!
Clean showerhead ickyness with white vinegar in a bag secured with a rubberband... Genius!
to get rid of the nasty black gunk in your drain: 1. Put a pot of water to boil. 2. Meanwhile pour baking soda down the drain. Baking soda has the ability to neutralize fatty acids so it will work and eating away the grime while you are waiting for the water to boil. 3. Once the water has reached a rolling boil remove it from the stove and pour it down the drain. 4. Let the water and baking soda work at decomposing and sterilizing the grime for 10 minutes. 5. After 10 minutes has expired pour 1 cup of bleach down the drain to completely kill any remaining mildew or bacteria. Because we use our sinks multiple times on a daily basis I recommend repeating this process every few months. Repeating this process on a regular basis will keep the "creepy black stuff" from accumulating and clogging your sink. It will also keep the nasty mildew smell at bay.
