STAIN FIGHTER
*Equal parts Dawn dish soap, vinegar, and water works well for grass
stains. Better than any other stain remover I've ever bought.
* Try the dawn and hot vinegar solution in your shower. I
left it for several hours and it was amazing, my shower sparkled like
new.
(I need to try this solution on some of my kids clothes! )
* I think what works is mostly the peroxide, not the dawn liquid. I've
tried a paste of peroxide + baking soda and it also gets tough stains
out, but you have to be careful with this things because peroxide is
tough on most fabrics.

Toilet Bowl Cleaner
Sprinkle toilet bowl with baking soda, drizzle with vinegar, let soak for at least 30 minutes and scrub with toilet brush.
Drain Cleaner/Unclog
Slow-running drains? Keep bathroom drains running freely by pouring 1/2 to 3/4 cup baking soda into the drain, and dribbling just enough hot water to wash the solution down. Let stand for 2 hours to overnight, then flush thoroughly with hot water. The deodorizing effect is an added bonus! [Do not use this method on blocked drains.]
