Odor Eraser
The meal you cooked last night was beyond delicious. So much so that the smell is still lingering in the air one day later. No worries. Just mix 3 tablespoons of white vinegar into 1 cup of water and boil in a saucepan for about 10 minutes. Vinegar is known for neutralizing unwanted smells, in a safe and natural way.

Clean Stained Containers
Is that plastic container a daily reminder of the homemade tomato sauce from grandma's house? Just because you loved the recipe doesn't mean you have to live with stained plastic storage containers. Take a lemon and cut it in half. Rub the cut half of the lemon on the stained side of the plastic. Squeeze some of the juice from the lemon to really get a good clean going. Once you've rubbed the stain parts of the container completely with the lemon, set it out in the sun to dry. (Leaving it on a sunny window ledge should be fine). Next, wash the container out like you normally would. You will be left with a stain-free, brand new looking plastic container.
Keep the Dirt Outside
No need to bring the outside dirt into the house. Most household dirt is brought in by way of shoes from outside. A way to keep your floors cleaner longer is to use the right door mat. Set a toothed, bristly door mat on the outside of your front or back door and have people wipe their feet before coming in. This type of mat will catch most of the dirt before it has a chance to enter your home. What about the remaining dirt? Simply ask your guests take their shoes off when entering. Most guests will not take this request the wrong way and your house will be significantly cleaner.
