I didn’t think about vinegar for specs, great idea

?All of the above.

Use a little milk on blood stains on clothing. Blood on carpet??? Use salt, leave for a while and it will draw up most of the blood, makes it far easier to clean.

Vinegar in the washing machine eliminates sour smell on face cloths.

Bicarbonate of soda and hot white vinegar unblock sinks.

White vinegar and washing up liquid sprayed on tiles and shower screens shifts the most stubborn soap marks, leave for around an hour and rinse off.

Vinegar in a spray bottle will clean your specs, mirrors and windows to a sparkle.

Baby wipes are just as good as make-up wipes and MUCH cheaper.

Pick up/tidy up three things each time you're in a room. Makes the house much tidier if you stick to it.
