Vinegar and dish soap are great for cleaning dirty glassware as well as various other appliances.
To easily clean your oven, simply sprinkle a cup of baking soda on the oven floor and side surfaces. Then fill a squirt bottle with vinegar and spray the baking soda covered areas. Scrub and let sit for 10-20 minutes for a sparkling finish.
Bathrooms
Clean your dirty faucets by rubbing with lemon juice and rinsing with warm water.
To clean your tub, simply mix vinegar and dish soap and apply to the stained, dirty areas. Also, use bleach on cotton balls or an old toothbrush to clean the grime buildup in your shower or tub.
