Whether it is for eliminating odours in the house, cleaning grease off a surface or just polishing up wood, vinegar can be used in combination with other solutions to make a great cleaner.

Baking soda doubles up as a cleaning agent, stain remover, polisher of surfaces, cleanser as well as deodorizing agent. It can also be used to soften fabrics.

If you mix in some quantity of vinegar, lemon and salt and combine it with water, you will have a great cleaning and de-clogging agent for drains and kitchen sink outlets. Club soda You may have seen adverts showing the harmful effects of club soda on the body but this is one of the best cleaning agents around. You can use it for removal of stains on clothes. If there are stains on the upholstery of your furniture, you can use club soda for stain removal here too. Mineral oil Mineral oil is a great polishing agent for all wooden furniture.
