    Hi guys! I am so impressed that you are getting your science hats on to be clean eco warriors. I live in Scotland and my gran used to keep a supply of bicarbonate of soda, lemon juice white vinegar and dispersible aspirin under her sink for cleaning with. Good luck with your recipes!

    I use distilled malt vinegar for lots of things - mixed with warm water for glass cleaning, neat on paper towel wrapped over taps to remove limescale, used neat on top of bicarbonate of soda for making a fizzing paste that removes dirt and limescale. Salt and hot vinegar tipped down a blocked plug, followed by hot water. I could go on and on - vinegar is amazing!! Lemon juice mixed with water works well on glass too.

    Hi Middle matters, this is such an awesome project you are working on. I love to use Eucalyptus oil to remove stains from my clothes.
    Coke is also a great way to clean the oil stains off your driveways and engines.
    Did you know that you could remove pen marks off leather by spraying on some hairspray?
    My favourite book to use fro natural cleaners is Martha Gardner.
    Happy cleaning!!!:)

    Hi Middle matters, I will add to Mrs Gridley's comment on use of Eucalyptus oil. It is fantastic for removing glue/gummy residue off surfaces. Dab on a cloth and clean area slowly. takes some time if lots of glue but you will have no scratches.

    Hi Middle Matters
    I use bicarbonate soda for stains in cups. You sprinkle it on the cloth and wipe inside the cup.
