If your dog drinks out of the toilet the worst thing that's going to happen is he's going to have orange lips. And all you have to do is put about a tablespoon in, let it sit for a little while then swish with your bowl brush and flush the toilet.

White vinegar costs a lot less than most cleaning products and will work wonders on the house if you know how to use it.

With white vinegar you can clean your bathroom, you can remove soap scum, mineral deposits, you can neutralize pet odor with it by using twenty-five percent vinegar and seventy-five percent water. You can make a great window cleaner with one quarter cup of white vinegar and one quart of water.

And if you ever get rust stains on your clothes, try lemon juice.

You apply undiluted lemon juice and then lay the garment out in the sun and the rust will disappear like magic. And you can make a great spray cleaner you use two tablespoons of lemon juice, one half teaspoon of liquid dish soap and two tablespoons of baking soda and you mix that in a two cup spray bottle with water - it is a fantastic cleaner.
