You can make effective cleaning solutions using household items. Here are a few examples:

  1. All-purpose cleaner: Mix 1 cup of water, 1/2 cup of white vinegar, and 1 tablespoon of baking soda. It's great for cleaning countertops and sinks.

  2. Glass cleaner: Mix 1 cup of water and 1/2 cup of white vinegar. Add 1 tablespoon of newspaper or paper towel for a lint-free shine.

  3. Tile and floor cleaner: Mix 1 cup of water, 1/2 cup of white vinegar, and 1 tablespoon of borax. It's great for cleaning grout and tiles.

  4. Dish soap booster: Mix equal parts of water and baking soda. Rub it on dirty dishes and then wash with dish soap for extra cleaning power.

  5. Air freshener: Boil water with slices of lemon, orange, or cinnamon sticks. It will leave your house smelling fresh and clean.

Remember to always test a small area before using any new cleaning solution.
