Half clear vinegar and half water - window and glass cleaner. Just spray on then wipe dry. 1 cup bicarbonate of soda and 1 cup clear vinegar - drain cleaner. Pour the soda into the drain then slowly add the vinegar. Bicarbonate of soda can be used to neutralise odours - just springe on dry, leave for an hour then vacuum off. These methods are kinder to your skin and the environment but they are not as effective as branded products so you will need to use some elbow grease as well! Here are a few ideas:
