5 more to keep you going:

To degrease your oven and any other part of your home that needs de-greasing, try this- mix equal parts of soda bicarb with salt. Add a bit of water and a whole load of elbow grease! If it’s inside the oven, then pour on a mixture of soda bicarb and cinnamon, while the oven is still warm. Leave it soak and then brush off.

To get rid of the fishy smell on your hands (or the strong odor of onion/garlic), sprinkle on a bit of salt, rub your hands together and rinse off in warm water.

To clean wooden floors, brew two teabags in hot water. Leave to cool and then swipe onto the floors with a mop. No need to rinse off and your floors are sparkling clean.

For a super disinfectant (and if the earlier recipe was too much to handle), mix 2 tbsp eucalyptus oil with 1 pint water. Shake well and spray on the offending area. Store in the fridge for up to one month.

House plants act as natural air filters. Keep a few in the bathroom and kitchen and get rid of your aerosol spray can. Keeping a few beeswax candles on hand is also a good idea.
