Keep for two weeks. Strain. Put in an empty spray bottle and top up with water. Perfect for everywhere! (And it doesn't small of vinegar, promise!)

Baby wipes! I use them to wipe down more than just little bottoms. They come in so handy! Always keep a pack on me just in case.

Clean your toilet with a bottle of coke. Just pour into toilet and watch it gleam

Make a squeezed & zested lemon go even further by using it to freshen up your kitchen appliances. Place half a used lemon in the top basket of your dishwasher when running a normal load for sparkly dishes, a cleaner appliance & it smells great too! The other (juicer) half can be used to clean & deodorise a microwave! Take a microwave proof bowl or jug, 3/4 fill it with water, cut the 1/2 lemon into 4 pieces and add to the bowl. Heat on high for 3 minutes, then leave for another 3 minutes so the steam can work off any grime. It should just require a quick wipe out with a cloth or kitchen paper to make it sparkly clean & will smell amazing!

Keep on top of all the extra jobs and de-cluttering by doing one or 2 extra jobs every day so that the list of things to do doesn't become overwhelming.

My ultimate cleaning tip, is to clean work top surfaces, with stubborn stains like curry or turmeric, cut a potato in half, and rub the stain, until it's clean. The active starch in the potato, absorbs the stain. I recommend using flash fabreeze to clean up the surface, once the stain is gone. I came across this by accident, when cleaning up the work top, with a potato slice under the cloth. I was wondering why the curry stain was disappearing. I realised I had a potato slice that was soaking up the colour.
