1/2 cup white vinegar + 2 cups water + juice of 1 lemon (Do not use on marble or granite.)

Wood polish:
1/2 cup olive, almond, or fractionated coconut oil + juice and peel of 1 lemon (Combine ingredients a day in advance for the best results)

1/2 cup white vinegar + 1/2 cup vodka or rubbing alcohol + 20 drops tea tree oil

2 cups water + 2 tablespoons white vinegar + 2 tablespoons rubbing alcohol

Home Improvement Tips/Solutions

Bleach Sanitizes pool toys :

Dip a sponge into a mixture of two cups of bleach and one gallon of water, then wipe down pool noodles and beach balls. Scrub off grime with a brush, and rinse with water.

Vinegar Brightens Patio Furniture: 

Fill a Spray Bottle with white vinegar and spritz over chairs and tables to remove mildew stains and prevent mold from forming.

Coffee Grounds Banish Ants: 

Sprinkle some grounds near doorways. Coffee's high nitrogen content burns bugs, so they won't walk across it and into your home.

Flip-Flops become doorstops: 

cut a wedge of rubber from an old thong and use it to prop open a door and let the summer breeze in.

Dryer Sheets repel Bugs: 

Keep sheets of this laundry staple in a cup outdoors - they make the humen scent that attracts mosquitoes.

Foil cleans the grill: 

while the coals are still red-hot, lay a sheet of aluminum foil over the grates and close the grill's lid. the next time you grill, crumple up the foil and use it scrub off the burned residue before you start cooking.
