I love using lemons, and baking soda mixed, makes a great scrubber for all sorts of things.

I wash windows with vinegar and water and polish them dry with crumpled newspaper.

I'm not a fan of laundry sheets for laundry, but if I have them around, they make great dust rags (they do pick up dust quite well) and make things like trash cans or linen closests smell fresh.

Can't decide what to clothes to give away?? After a season turn all your hangers backwards so they hang hook to the back. If you wear it then hang it up after washing regular. After a year, what ever isn't turned back around you give to salvation army etc.!
