All-Purpose Cleaner: Mix 1/2 cup vinegar and 1/4 cup baking soda into 1/2 gallon (2 liters) water. Store and keep. Use for removal of water deposit stains on shower stall panels, bathroom chrome fixtures, indows, bathroom mirrors, etc.

Air Freshener: Commercial air fresheners mask smells and coat nasal  passages to diminish the sense of smell. Baking soda or vinegar with lemon juice in small dishes absorbs odors around the house. Having houseplants  helps too. Prevent cooking odors by simmering vinegar (1 tbsp in 1 cup water)  on the stove while cooking. To get such smells as fish and onion off utensils and cutting boards, wipe them with vinegar and wash in soapy water.

Bathroom mold: Mold in bathroom tile grout is a common problem and  can be a health concern. Mix one part hydrogen peroxide (3%) with two parts  water in a spray bottle and spray on areas with mold. Wait at least one hour  before rinsing or using shower.

Carpet stains: Mix equal parts white vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Spray directly on stain, let sit for several minutes, and clean with  a brush or sponge using warm soapy water.
