Basic Cleaning Ideas!

We've all been there...last minute plans and guests about to arrive at any moment! Need some ideas to quickly clean the house? Well, here ya go!
Toilet bowl cleaner: Mix 1/4 Cup Baking Soda and 1 Cup vinegar. Pour into basin and let sit for a few minutes. Simply scrub and flush and admire the clean!
Deoderize the garbage disposal: Depending on what you have on hand, either slice a lemon and send it through or peel an orange and send just the peel through. Either way your kitchen will smell citrus fresh!
Deoderize that musty garage/basement/???: Slice an onion and place slices on a plate in middle of the room. Leave for several hours or overnight.
Basic carpet stain removal: Mix equal parts white vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Spray directly onto the stain and let sit several minutes. Clean with a brush or sponge and warm soap water.
Heavy duty carpet stain removal: Mix 1/4 Cup each salt, borax, and vinegar. Rub paste into carpet and leave for a few hours. Vacuum up!
