I use the vinegar and water for everything but I add rubbing alcohol to it….equal part keeps windows and mirrors streak free, as well as disinfects. It takes two seconds to mix in a spray bottle that I keep under the sink.

I have been using vinegar and baking soda to clean for about 6 months now. I have a standard vinegar mixture of 1 part vinegar to 4 parts water with a few drops dr. bronners soap, it takes about 30 seconds to mix up a bottle and I use it to clean everything. It takes way less time and energy to mix it up than it would to go to the store to get more cleaner if I run out. Thank you so much for your tips!

Thanks for these great ideas! I’m allergic to many houshold cleaners and so have to avoid them. I have found that baking soda also cleans my flat stove top (the glass kind). They recommend some other goop and say to use only that, but it doesn’t clean the way baking soda does and it is a gentle, mild abrasive. Plus no driving to Sears to find the one and only goop I’m supposed to buy and then paying big bucks for it. Using baking soda saves me time, gas and money.

Wealthman–obviously YOU don’t buy these cleaners yourself because if you did, you would realize they cost much more than $5! Most bottles of cleaners are between $2-3 each if not more, which adds up for each cleaner you don’t have to buy. Go take your money and get a life. Some of us like saving money. I can’t figue out either why you haunt these boards as you don’t seem to understand the purpose of SAVING-ADVICE!

I’ve been using baking soda as a scouring/cleaning/bleaching product and vinegar to wash windows and clean glass for decades now. It was used because of a lack of money at first, then later because it does a great job and now because of all of the above and it’s an easy way to go green. Obviously, Wealthman has never had to be concerned about the cost of things. Even though his comment about spending an hour to save $5.00 does make sense, these products literally only take minutes to make, especially since most people already have baking soda and vinegar

Vinegar and baking soda are wonderful and economical alternatives to expensive chemical cleaners(which are mostly water anyway). I’ve used them both for many years for many, many household cleaning tasks.

Wealthman, mixing the ingredients doesn’t take any time to speak of, and it’s not like baking soda and vinegar are unusual kitchen staples — everyone has them.

You’re very fortunate (and probably incredibly talented/gifted/skilled) that you have abundant financial resources and you don’t have to concern yourself with money. Would you share with us how you acquired your considerable wealth?
Thank you.
