Discover the secret of maintaining cleanliness with less stress and at no cost using some of our regular household items.
* Clean your bathroom with vodka
Got an unloved bottle of vodka left over from a gathering? If you don’t fancy making cocktails, you can always use it to get your porcelain fixtures shining! Dab some onto a soft cloth and give them a rub.
* Stop your airing cupboard smelling with baking soda
Do you find that sheets and towels get a bit stale smelling while in storage? Get out the bicarbonate of soda again to stop your linen cupboard smelling musty. Leaving an open box of baking soda inside it will mask any smells.
* Remove carpet stains with washing liquid
If you’ve just spilled a glass of wine – or anything staining – on to your carpet, spring into action by dissolving one tablespoon of washing liquid into two cups of warm water, and blotting the stain until it disappears. Then sponge the carpet with cold water and blot dry.
* Stop squeaky floorboards with baby powder

* Remove coffee stains with toothpaste

* Get grease stains out of clothes with cola
