Drains
To clean out smelly sink drains pouring a cup of vinegar down the drain will put a stop to the smell.
Pouring a cup of ammonia down the drain will cut through hair and hard water that is built up in your drains and it will cut down on odors at the same time!
If your drain is running a little slow, pouring a gallon of boiling water down the drain will help loosen and soften what might be in the drain.
You can use baking soda to clean out your drain by pouring one cup of baking soda down the drain and then three cups of boiling vinegar. The baking soda and vinegar causes bubbles, which can loosen certain clogs in your drain.
Using a plunger on a drain that just won’t go down in the sink will be just as effective as it is in the toilet.
Rings
If the ring around the bottom of your sink is getting harder and harder to clean, try using a little toothpaste on your cloth as you rub this area. Over a few cleanings this stain will disappear.
Decals
Do you have a home with twenty-some- year-old decals in the tub? You can get rid of these decals without hurting your tub finish! Soaking the area with full strength vinegar and continuing to ‘pick’ at the area with your fingernails will loosen the sticky glue used to hold these on. You can soak decals by filling the bottom of the tub with vinegar overnight.
Instant air freshener
Taking a towel wet with vinegar and wiping down the radiator is an instant air freshener that will last all day long.
Cream of tarter
Using a cream of tarter and vinegar mixture you can cut through all the grime that has been building up in your sink. As the cream of tarter acts as a mild abrasive the vinegar will help cut through the grease.
