I got a 'tip email' this morning with this nice idea.

Wet a rag or sponge and pour a couple TBSP shampoo on it.  Sprinkle on a TSP of baking soda and work up a lather.  Scrub your tub or shower, then rinse the rag, and rinse the tub or shower with it.  The results will be a nice, clean tub.

What I like about this, is that you don't have to worry that you didn't get it rinsed very good before putting your child in the bathtub later.  I always worry about that after using a harsh tub cleaner.

If someone sets a glass down on your wood table and leaves a water ring, try this.  Rub mayonnaise on the ring, let it sit, then rub it off with a dry cloth.  This may take a few treatments.

Put 2 gallons of hot water and 1/4 cup citric acid in a basin or sink.  Put your glasses (or other dishes) in and let them soak for 3 - 4 hours.  Use a dish scrubber to clean the glasses.  Rinse and dry.

Sprinkle 1/4 cup Citric Acid in your dishwasher and let it run through a cycle while empty.

I got a tip from a mailing list I'm on to use Citric Acid!

Just wet the surface of your tub or toilet, and sprinkle the citric acid over it.  Let it sit for about 20 minutes, then scrub with a wet sponge and rinse!
