5 Home Cleaning Solutions

Lemon Juice - Lemon juice has high intensity of acids that helps in cleaning and removing tough stains. Use lemon juice for floor cleaning (avoid marbles), plastic items, grout cleaning, white tiles, faucets, and dirty dishes.

During the rinse cycle, add half cut lemon juice and get shinier and whiter clothes.
Baking Soda - Having trouble with a clogged drainpipe? A simple ingredient in your home can help you get rid of it.
