 Coca-Cola® isn’t just a great beverage, its mild acidity makes it useful for commode cleaning purposes. If you have lime scale and you’re tired of paying high prices for cleaning products, try this trick. COKE® costs less than 50 cents per liter and is nontoxic. One can of COKE® contains 12 ounces and works great as a cleaner due to the carbonic and phosphoric acid it contains. Simply pour over the lime scale, let set for 10 minutes, and you’ll easily scrub it all away!

 Bagless vacuums are great, but most people only empty the canister and often forget to clean the filters. Plugged filters lead to an overworked motor and sooner than later the motor burns out. Take the vacuum out to the shop or garage, pull out and empty the receptacle, and then remove the filter. To clean the filter, use your shop vacuum’s nozzle to remove all the dust and debris, being careful not to tear the filter. You should see a significant difference in pick up power.
 Keeping shower doors clean and streak free is a challenge-- unless you know the pros’ secrets. Clean any mold, mildew or streaks from the glass with a cleaner. For textured glass use a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. Carefully scrape tough buildup with a razor blade. Dry the doors with a lint-free cloth; applying Rain-x will help to keep everything spotless.
 Put a dab of toothpaste on a damp microfiber cloth. rub like crazy! Works great.
 I like to use Pour-N-Restore, the oil stain remover that starts out as a liquid and dries into a powder! It's easy to apply; simply pour on the stain, and once it's dry just sweep it up. It works great.
 I pay extra attention to bathrooms and always remember to look up to check out fans, vents, etc. Looking up, you will more than likely see dust. Make the cleaning easy using a blast of canned air. You will find that some brands have "straw" attachments to reach small crevices. This also works great on return air vents too!  Instead of throwing them away, sanitizing sponges in the microwave kills 99.9% of the germs. Sponges harbor millions of germs; placing them in the microwave for 3 minutes will cause the microbes to sizzle away.
 Wipe down the refrigerator with white vinegar to prevent mildew. Once clean, put vanilla extract on a cotton ball and set inside a small container like a shot glass. Place it inside the refrigerator, to the back of the top shelf, to help eliminate odors.
 We all rely on our cell phones and need them to work efficiently every day. The first thing to keep in mind about cleaning a cell phone is removing the potentially deadly microbes and bacteria that covers your phone every day. Each time you touch your phone you transfer bacteria to and from your hands, face and every surface your phone came in contact with. To sanitize your phone, you will need the following supplies; distilled water, 70% isopropyl alcohol, a spray bottle, a clean lint-free microfiber cloth, cotton swabs, and wooden toothpicks. Follow these 7 steps for a germ-free cell phone: 1-unplug the phone and any attachments. 2-remove any protective cover, clean those items separately. 3-In a small spray bottle, mix a one-to-one ratio of distilled water and 70% isopropyl alcohol. It is important to only use distilled water. 4-lightly spray a lint-free microfiber cloth with the mixture. 5-Wipe down the front and back surfaces. 6-using a cotton swab or wooden toothpick, clean all the grimy buildup found around the attachment ports, camera lens, and buttons. Wipe the area down again to sanitize. 7- Allow the phone to dry completely before reinserting any attachments or the cover.
 Use a grout brush or an old toothbrush to apply to the grout lines with hydrogen peroxide and baking soda. Use the brush to gently scrub wipe clean rinse with warm water. Seal your grout with a sealer, you will be amazed at how long it will stay clean.
