Metal Cleanser:
Create a paste by adding white vinegar to 2 tablespoons of cream of tarter. Rub it on with a clean cloth until dry and shiny.

Marble Cleaner:
Rub baking soda into marble with a damp cloth. Rinse with water and towel dry. This will naturally clean and disinfect. Note: Do not use vinegar, lemon or other acidic acid on marble.

Microwave Oven Cleaner:
Fill a microwave safe bowl with 1/2 cup white vinegar and 1/2 cup water, and microwave for 2 minutes or until a rolling boil. The baked on food will loosen and the odors disappear with the vinegar steam. Wipe down sides of microwave with solution (wearing gloves due to temperature of the vinegar/water solution).

Mineral Deposit Remover (Showerheads / Faucets):
For showerheads or faucets that are clogged up with mineral deposits white vinegar is again the solution. Fill plastic bag (that will fit over your showerhead) with full strength white vinegar, place over showerhead so that showerhead is submersed in the vinegar, keep in place with a rubber band. Let showerhead soak for a few hours, then remove. Faucets can also be soaked in vinegar by placing a vinegar soaked cloth or paper towel in white vinegar and wrapping the area for a few hours or overnight.

Mold & Mildew Remover:
Mix half white vinegar and half water in a spray bottle to remove mold and mildew in the bathroom. This solution will also help inhibit future mold and mildew growth.

Oven Cleaner:

Recipe 1: Sprinkle spills generously with salt while the oven is still hot. The burned deposit should scrape off with no trouble when the oven cools.

Recipe 2: Sprinkle a thick layer of baking soda on bottom of a cool oven, spray baking soda with water until moist (keep moist by spraying every few hours as it dries), scrape the baking soda and food residue out of the oven, rinse oven with water.

Recipe 3: For thorough cleaning, set an open shallow dish of full-strength ammonia inside the cold oven. Close the door and let it stand overnight. The ammonia gas from the solution is absorbed by the grease, which ends up like soap. Do not use this method on aluminum.
